Ῥᾴδιον γὰρ αὐτῷ καὶ ἐκ μὴ ὄντων καὶ ἐξ ὄντων δημιουργεῖν· τοῦτο γὰρ δὴ καὶ πάλαι πεποίηκε καὶ καθ' ἑκάστην, ὡς ἔπος εἰπεῖν, ἡμέραν ποιεῖ. Καὶ γὰρ ἐξ ὑποκειμένων σωμάτων διαπλάττει τῶν ζῴων τὰ σώματα καὶ ἐκ μὴ ὄντων δημιουργεῖ τὰς ψυχάς, οὐχ ἅπασι τοῖς ζῴοις, ἀλλὰ μόνοις ἀνθρώποις· καὶ διὰ τῶν πτηνῶν δημιουργεῖ τὰ πτηνὰ καὶ διὰ τῶν νηκτῶν τὰ νηκτὰ καὶ τῶν ἄλλων γενῶν ἕκαστον διὰ τῶν ὁμογενῶν διαπλάττει.
