ΝΟΜΩΝ ΙΕΡΩΝ ΑΛΛΗΓΟΡΙΑΣ

φαίνεται δ’ οὐ πανταχοῦ ὁ λόγος οὗτος, ἀλλ’ ἐπ’ ἐρήμου παθῶν καὶ κακιῶν, καὶ ἔστι λεπτὸς νοῆσαί τε καὶ νοηθῆναι καὶ σφόδρα διαυγὴς καὶ καθαρὸς ὁραθῆναι, καὶ ἔστιν ὡσεὶ κόριον. φασὶ δὲ οἱ γεωπόνοι τὸ σπέρμα τοῦ κορίου διαιρεθὲν εἰς ἄπειρα καὶ τμηθὲν καθ’ ἕκαστον τῶν μερῶν καὶ τμημάτων σπαρὲν βλαστάνειν οὕτως, ὡς καὶ τὸ ὅλον ἠδύνατο· τοιοῦτος καὶ ὁ θεοῦ λόγος, καὶ δι’ ὅλων ὠφελητικὸς καὶ διὰ παντὸς μέρους καὶ τοῦ τυχόντος.
