Greek
παρ' αὐτῶν γυναῖκας δυσειδῆ τίκτειν τέρατα, οὓς καὶ ἐκάλουν γίγαντας, διὰ τὸ εἰδεχθὲς καὶ ἀπηνὲς τῶν τρόπων καὶ τὸ ἀνήμερον θράσος. καὶ γοῦν οἱ μετὰ τοὺς ἑβδομήκοντα γεγονότες ἑρμηνευταὶ τέσσαρες ἐκδιδόντες τὰ περὶ τὸν τόπον, οὐ γεγράφασιν ὅτι οἱ υἱοὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἰδόντες τὰς θυγατέρας τῶν ἀνθρώπων· ἀλλ' ὁ μέν Οἱ υἱοὶ τῶν δυναστευόντων, ὁ δὲ, υἱοὶ τῶν δυναστῶν. ἀσύνετον δὲ τὸ οἴεσθαι τοὺς ἀσωμάτους δαίμονας ἐνεργεῖν δύνασθαι τὰ σωμάτων, καὶ τὸ παρὰ φύσιν ἰδίαν ἐπιτελεῖν. οὐδὲν γὰρ τῶν ὄντων δύναται τὰ παρὰ φύσιν δρᾶν, ἀλλ' ἕκαστον ὡς γέγονεν οὕτω μένει, τάξιν ὁρίσαντος ἑκάστῳ Θεοῦ. αὐτὸς γάρ ἐστιν ὁ πάντων γενεσιουργὸς καὶ τοῖς αὐτοῦ νεύμασιν ἕκαστον
