...the main part, the governing part: because good and fertile, and the first part of the earth, is that which can be fruit-bearing, and which is in need of the assistance of the fountain.
Who is the created man? And in what way is he distinguished from that which is according to the image?
IV. The created one is the sensible man, and the likeness of the intelligible example. But that which is according to the form is intelligible and incorporeal, a likeness of the archetype according to sight; and this is the form of the more principal character. And this is the Logos Word of God, the first principle, the original species (or archetypal idea), the pre-measurer of all things. For this reason, that which was to be created, as if by a potter, was formed from the dust of the earth according to the body; but he attained the soul, God breathing life into his face; so that the mixture of nature was mixed, of the corruptible and the incorruptible. But that which is according to the form is pure and unmixed.

The created one is the sensible man, and a likeness of the intelligible example: but that which is according to the form is intellectual and incorporeal, a likeness of the archetype according to sight; and this is the form of a more principal character. This is the Logos Word of God, the first principle, original species (or archetypal idea), the pre-measurer of all things. Therefore, that which was to be created (or moldable) was formed as if by a potter from the dust of the earth according to the body; but he attained the soul, God breathing life into his face: so that the temperament was commingled of corruptible and incorruptible nature. The other, however, which is according to the form, is found to be pure, devoid of mixture, (proceeding) from an invisible, simple, and luminous nature.
