ὁ μὲν γὰρ θεός τὰ δὲ >πρὸς ὁμοιότητα αὐτοῦ λόγῳ ὅμοια ἐσόμενα, τὰ δὲ καθ’ ἑκουσιασμὸν >γενόμενα· τὰ δὲ πάντα δι’ αὐτοῦ ὑπὸ τοῦ θεοῦ γενόμενα, πάντα δὲ >ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ. ἅπερ λαβὼν καὶ ἐξεργασάμενος κατὰ τὴν προσοῦσάν >σοι θεόθεν χάριν, γράψαι τῷ δεσπότῃ μου Ἀλεξάνδρῳ σπούδασον· >πεπίστευδα γὰρ ὡς εἰ γράψειας αὐτῷ, ἐντρέψειας αὐτόν. πρόσειπε >πάντας τοὺς ἐν κυρίῳ. ἐρρωμένον σε καὶ ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν εὐχόμενον ἡ θεία χάρις διαφυλάττοι, δέσποτα.«
