« Izemmer bnadem ca n wass wer ittɣimi ca idder. Maca ɛemmers ad as-tweḍḍer tilit-nnes »
Ammu ig yenna i t twalat Afaylasuf Alatini Lucius Annius d netta issawal x lmewt. Izemmer ameddukel-inu Athanase, wer ittili ca idder, maca later-nni ig ijja di tudert ɛemmers ad as-tekkes tilit-nnes (son existence). Ad yeqqim yella, waxxa netta wer iddir. Yella s tqessisin-nnes, s ixarrisen-nnes, s wawalen-nnes, s tmuɣli-nni nnes i yullɣen d netta irezzu ad ifhem tussniwin i yemsebḍan.
