διὰ δὲ τοῦ τοὺς πόδας ἀπολούεσθαι τὸ μηκέτι βαίνειν ἐπὶ γῆς, ἀλλ’ αἰθεροβατεῖν· ἡ γὰρ τοῦ φιλοθέου ψυχὴ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν ἀπὸ γῆς ἄνω πρὸς οὐρανὸν πηδᾷ καὶ πτερωθεῖσα μετεωροπολεῖ συντάττεσθαι γλιχομένη καὶ συγχορεύειν ἡλίῳ καὶ σελήνῃ καὶ τῇ τῶν ἄλλων ἀστέρων ἱερωτάτῃ καὶ παναρμονίῳ στρατιᾷ, ταξιαρχοῦντος καὶ ἡγεμονεύοντος τοῦ θεοῦ τοῦ τὴν ἀνανταγώνιστον καὶ ἀναφαίρετον βασιλείαν ἔχοντος, δι’ ἧς ἐνδίκως ἕκαστα πρυτανεύεται.
