τό γε μὴν χρησθὲν τῷ πανσόφῳ Μωυσῇ λόγιον ἐναργέστατα δηλοῖ τὴν περὶ τὸν σπουδαῖον βεβαιοτάτην εὐστάθειαν, ἔστι δὲ τὸ λόγιον τοιόνδε· „σὺ δὲ αὐτοῦ στῆθι μετ’ ἐμοῦ“ (Deut. 5,31)· ἐξ οὗ δύο παρίσταται, ἓν μὲν ὅτι τὸ ὂν τὸ τὰ ἄλλα κινοῦν καὶ τρέπον ἀκίνητόν τε καὶ ἄτρεπτον, ἕτερον δ’ ὅτι τῆς ἑαυτοῦ φύσεως, ἠρεμίας, τῷ σπουδαίῳ μεταδίδωσιν. ὡς γὰρ οἶμαι κανόνι ὀρθῷ τὰ στρεβλὰ εὐθύνεται, οὕτως τὰ κινούμενα κράτει τοῦ ἑστῶτος ἐπέχεταί τε καὶ ἵσταται.
