κἂν ἄρα ποτὲ περὶ ἀνθρώπων εὐχαριστῇς, μὴ μόνον περὶ τοῦ γένους ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ τῶν εἰδῶν καὶ ἀναγκαιοτάτων μερῶν εὐχαρίστει, ἀνδρῶν, γυναικῶν, Ἑλλήνων, βαρβάρων, τῶν ἐν ἠπείροις, τῶν τὰς νήσους εἰληχότων· κἂν περὶ ἑνὸς ἀνδρός, τέμε τῷ λόγῳ τὴν εὐχαριστίαν, μὴ εἰς τὰ λεπτότατα μέχρι τῶν ἐσχάτων, ἀλλὰ εἰς τὰ συνεκτικώτατα, σῶμα καὶ ψυχὴν τὸ πρῶτον, ἐξ ὧν συνέστηκεν, εἶτα εἰς λόγον καὶ νοῦν καὶ αἴσθησιν· οὐ γὰρ ἂν γένοιτο ἀναξία θεοῦ ἀκοῆς καὶ ἡ ὑπὲρ ἑκάστου τούτων εὐχαριστία καθ’ αὑτήν.
