Ὅταν τοίνυν τούτων ἕκαστον ἴδωμεν, καὶ τὸν μὲν ἥλιον νῦν μὲν τὰ βόρεια, νῦν δὲ τὰ νότια, ἄλλοτε δὲ τὰ μέσα τοῦ οὐρανοῦ διαθέοντα, καὶ τὴν σελήνην αὐξομένην καὶ φθίνουσαν, καὶ τοὺς ἀστέρας κατὰ καιρὸν ἀνίσχοντάς τε καὶ δυομένους καὶ ἀμήτου καιρὸν καὶ σπόρου σημαίνοντας καὶ τοῖς ναυτιλλομένοις χειμῶνα καὶ γαλήνην μηνύοντας, μὴ ταῦτά γε, ὦ φίλοι ἄνδρες, θεοποιήσωμεν, ἀλλὰ τὸν τούτων ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν καὶ κυβερνήτην ἀνυμνήσωμεν καὶ διὰ τῶν ὁρωμένων πρὸς τὸν ἀόρατον ἐκδημήσωμεν.
