St. Gregory of Nyssa, De opificio hominis 3.2, trans. Behr (Gregory of Nyssa: On the human image of God (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2023), 161). "In every single case—the aether, the stars, the intermediate air, the sea, the earth, the animals, the plants—all are brought to genesis by a word; while only to the formation of the human being does the Maker of all draw near with circumspection [(περιεσκεμμένως)]".
