## Text

### 1

ΠΕΡΙ ΙΟΥ Ἡ μὲν γὰρ ἰώδης δύναμις συμπληρωτική ἐστιν τῆς ὅλης ὑποκειμένης οὐσίας ἀτόμου, καὶ μέρος αὐτῆς, καὶ ἄνευ ταύτης ἀτελὴς ἡ ὅλη οὐσία καθέστηκεν. Τὰ γὰρ μέρη τῶν οὐσιῶν οὐσίαι εἰσὶν, ὥς φησιν Πορφύριος, ἡ γὰρ οὐσία προβάλλεται δύναμιν, καὶ ἡ δύναμις ἐνέρ γειαν, καὶ ἡ ἐνέργεια τὰ ἐνεργήματα. Αἱ τοίνυν δυνάμεις αἱ οὐσιώδεις ἑκουσίως προέρχονται, καὶ ἀχώριστοί εἰσι τῶν οὐσιῶν.
