It is not impossible for them] to receive a revelation of these things if they unify (in Protophanes). Since it is impossible that the Individuals (in Autogenes) comprehend the totality [situated in the] realm that is higher than perfect, they at least share (in it) through a preconception, not as Being per se, [for on the contrary] it is with [the] hiddeness (cf. Kalyptos) of Existence that he provides Being, [providing] for [it in] every way, since it is this that [shall] come into being when he intelligizes himself.

For he is a Unity, subsisting as a [true cause] and source of [Being], even [an] immaterial [matter and an] innumerable [number and a] formless [form] and a [shapeless] [shape] and [a powerlessness with] [power and an insubstantial substance] [and a motionless] [motion and an inactive] [activity, except that he is] [a] provider of [provision] [and] a divinity [of] divinity.
