To Sophianus the Scholarius [scholasticus, an advocate or learned man].
If God brings into being the things that are not, and bestows existence upon those things that appear nowhere and in no way, much more is he able to set upright again the things that are.
Εἰ τὰ μὴ ὄντα ποιεῖ γενέσθαι Θεός, καὶ τοῖς μηδαμοῦ μηδαμῶς φαινομένοις χαρίζεται τδεῖναι, πολλῷ μᾶλλον τὰ ὄντα ἀνορθώσασθαι δύναται.
