καὶ ταύτης τῆς σοφίας πηγὴν εἶναι τὸν θεὸν ἐν τῷ Βαροὺχ μεμαθήκαμεν, αἰτιαθέντος τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, ὅτι ἐγκατέλιπε τὴν πηγὴν τῆς σοφίας. εἰ μὲν οὖν ἀρνοῦνται τὰ γεγραμμένα αὐτόθεν ἀλλότριοι καὶ τοῦ ὀνόματος ὄντες, οἰκείως ἂν καλοῖντο καὶ παρὰ πάντων ἄθεοι καὶ χριστομάχοι· οὕτω γὰρ ἑαυτοὺς ἐπωνόμασαν καὶ αὐτοί.
