ἐπεὶ οὖν ἡ τετρακτὺς ἀναλογίαν τῶν λεχθεισῶν συμφωνιῶν ὑποβάλλει, αἱ δὲ συμφωνίαι τῆς τελείου ἁρμονίας εἰσὶ συμπληρωτικαί, κατὰ δὲ τὴν τέλειον ἁρμονίαν πάντα διοικεῖται, τοῦδε χάριν πηγὴν ἀενάου φύσεως ῥιζώματ’ ἔχουσαν εἰρήκασιν αὐτήν.

Since the tetractys presents the ratios of the concords mentioned, the concords complete perfect harmony, and all things are governed according to perfect harmony, they therefore called it “the source of ever-flowing nature, containing its roots.”

Puisque la tétractys présente le rapport des consonances mentionnées, que ces consonances accomplissent l'harmonie parfaite et que toutes choses sont régies selon l'harmonie parfaite, c'est pour cette raison qu'ils l'ont appelée «source de l'éternelle nature, qui en possède les racines».
