ἐπειδὴ δὲ ταῦτα λέγειν ἔτι τούτους οὐκ ἔστιν εὐαγές, μᾶλλον γὰρ Σαδδουκαίων καὶ τοῦ Σαμοσατέως ἐστὶ τοῦτο τὸ φρόνημα, λείπει ἄρα κατὰ τὴν ἑτέραν διάνοιαν, καθ’ ἣν Ἰσαὰκ τοῦ Ἁβραάμ ἐστιν υἱός, λέγειν εἶναι καὶ τὸν τοῦ θεοῦ υἱόν· τὸ γὰρ ἔκ τινος φύσει γεννώμενον καὶ μὴ ἔξωθεν ἐπικτώμενον υἱὸν οἶδεν ἡ φύσις, καὶ τοῦτο τοῦ ὀνόματός ἐστι τὸ σημαινόμενον.
