Greek text · Stählin 3:111

»ἄρτος οὐράνιος«, συναγωγὴ εὐλογημένη· τάχα δὲ ὡς ἐκ τῆς αὐτῆς οὐσίας τῶν ἐκλεκτῶν κατὰ τὸ ὑποκείμενον γενομένων, καὶ ὡς τοῦ αὐτοῦ τέλους τευξομένων.

English · Claude translation

“Heavenly bread,” a blessed assembly; perhaps too because the elect have come into being from the same substance in respect of their substrate, and because they will reach the same end.
