Why [do I say] more to me? It did not escape us; since to shine forth [is] the present, and let us remember the things of today, by the will, a great miracle of salvation to all. It escaped us; let us remember, brothers. For do not dare to depart. And what are these? The ones who were roses, having taught; and the unlearned [ones] to [the one], in the midst of us [by] will; a light to us unapproachable and inseparable, God. Thus having begun, [it] will not cease; nor remaining a measure, but brilliantly three-bright. To a few [it is] as if being contemplated; but I think, not even to a few. And second lights, the rays of the first light, the powers around him; and those [that are] neither [on] earth, and the things [on]... but this light is incomprehensible. Not only did he begin another; but also [for] the nostrils, and my nostril is equal to the part; which was given once, and was encircled, and mostly gives only; for it does not provide to see; and before it is seen by the sight; and flowing around the visible things, [it] grants [it] unbreakable.

Illuminating the whole inhabited world; burdensome to the others, my presence.

But he himself, the myth having it thus; he ordered order and form and number, so that he might perform a miracle; but [it] was not yet [at] the sun, having pre-existed; for the light [is] a form of [the] one; but after this, having created the hymn [of] the one-eyed [thing] of the day, this sun; [it] is not [so] before the days [it] is numbered, and second and third and the things following until the sixth day and rest, not of the oath of the days; by which these things happening are divided; by unspoken words they will cease; for the roar [is] given at the same time to lift them all.
