"The appellation is not flesh nor the Spirit but, what is more precious, God."

Therefore, O faithful Christian, search for truth, hear truth, 
learn truth, love truth, speak the truth, hold the truth, 
defend the truth till death.

Subject: [B-Greek] QEOS in Dialogue with Heraclides


In his Dialogue with Heraclides Origen said:

"For when human beings are joined to each other, the appropiate word is
"flesh", and when the just person is united to Christ, the word is "spirit";
and when Christ is united to the Father OU SARX, OU TO PNEUMA  ONOMA, ALLA
TOUTWN TIMIWTERON TO QEOS. "

The first question is about the neuter article TO. It seems that it is
related to QEOS which is however male in gender. If i am right, the
translation could be:

"Not flesh and  spirit, but which is much more precious, the god nature".

I think that QEOS here seems to be a mass noun rather than a definite noun,
due to the neuter article, and what "flesh" and "spirit" are grammaticaly.

I would appreciate other translation.
