Christ, even if for our sake he united to himself the created flesh, having been granted a soul both rational and intelligent, and thus being worshiped as God by all of creation.
Time for all things, and an opportune time for every single thing under the heaven (Ecclesiastes 3:1 ).
Greek Χριστόν, εἰ καὶ δι' ἡμᾶς ἥνωσεν ἑαυτῷ τὴν κτιστὴν σάρκα ἐτυχωμένην ψυχῇ λογικῇ τε καὶ νοερᾷ, καὶ οὕτω δὲ προσκυνούμενος ὡς θεὸς ὑπὸ πάσης τῆς κτίσεως. 65lem τοῖς πᾶσιν χρόνος, καὶ καιρὸς τῷ παν-τὶ πράγματι ὑπὸ τὸν οὐρανόν. 1

About this text A few lines on Hebrews 1 by Didymus the Blind: all creation, the angels included, worships Christ, and since Scripture forbids the worship of a creature, Christ is the Creator, who also took created flesh.
Didymus the Blind (c. 313–c. 398) is the author of this fragment on Hebrews. It is not Severian's fragments on that letter.
He argues that if all creation worships Christ, Christ is not a creature. The fragment then speaks of Christ's union with created flesh.
A reader needs the line in which the angels worship the Son, and the difference between the Creator and a creature. The citations use the old names of the biblical books.
