"He [is the] invisible [Spirit] of whom it is not right
[to think] of him as a god, or something
similar. For he is more than a god,
since there is nothing above him, for no one
lords it over him. [For he does] not [exist] in something
inferior [to him, since everything] exists in him.
(IV 4, 9-10: [For it is he who establishes])
himself. [He is eternal] since
he does [not] need [anything]. For [he] is total
perfection. [He] did not [lack anything] that he might
be completed by [it; rather] he is always completely perfect
in [light]. He is [illimitable] since
there is no one [prior to him] to set limits to him.
He is unsearchable [since there] exists no one
prior to him to [examine him. He is] immeasurable
since there [was] no one [prior to him to measure]
him. [He is invisible since no] one saw [him. He is eternal since he [exists]
eternally. He is [ineffable since]
no one was able to comprehend him to speak [about him].
He is unnameable since [there is no one prior to him]
to give [him] a name."
