τοιαῦτα συνείροντες οἵ τε τοῦ νοῦ θιασῶται καὶ οἱ τῶν αἰσθήσεων οἱ μὲν ἐκεῖνον οἱ δὲ ταύτας θεοπλαστοῦσιν ὑπὸ φιλαυτίας ἐκλαθόμενοι τοῦ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν ὄντος θεοῦ. διὸ πάντας εἰκότως ἀπήλασεν ἱεροῦ συλλόγου, τούς τε τὰς ἰδέας ἀναιροῦντας, „θλαδίας“ ὑπειπών, καὶ τοὺς κατὰ τὸ παντελὲς ἀθέους, οἷς ὄνομα οἰκεῖον τὸ „ἀποκόπων“ ἔθετο, καὶ τοὺς ἐξ ἐναντίας εἰσηγητὰς θεογονίας, οὓς ἐκάλεσεν „ἐκ πόρνης“, καὶ ἐπὶ πᾶσι τοὺς φιλαύτους, ὧν οἱ μὲν τὸν λογισμόν, οἱ δ’ ἑκάστην τῶν αἰσθήσεων ἐξεθείωσαν· ἐπείγονται γὰρ πάντες οὗτοι πρὸς τὸ αὐτὸ τέλος, εἰ καὶ ἀπὸ διαφερόντων ἄγονται βουλευμάτων, τὸν ἕνα καὶ ὄντως ὄντα θεὸν παρησυχάζοντες.
