Καὶ Διονύσιος τοίνυν παρὰ τῶν ἀποστόλων τοῦτο μαθὼν πεποίηκεν. ἐπειδὴ γὰρ εἷρπεν ἡ Σαβελλίου αἵρεσις, ἠναγκάσθη τὴν τοιαύτην, καθὰ προεῖπον, ἐπιστολὴν γράψαι καὶ τὰ ἀνθρωπίνως καὶ εὐτελῶς περὶ τοῦ σωτῆρος εἰρημένα ῥῖψαι κατ’ αὐτῶν, ἵνα τούτους ἀποσχοινίσας διὰ τὰ ἀνθρώπινα τοῦ μὴ λέγειν υἱὸν εἶναι τὸν πατέρα εὐκολωτέραν αὐτοῖς κατασκευάσῃ τὴν περὶ τῆς θεότητος τοῦ υἱοῦ διδασκαλίαν, ὅταν αὐτὸν ἐν ταῖς ἄλλαις ἐπιστολαῖς ἀπὸ τῶν γραφῶν λέγῃ λόγον, σοφίαν, δύναμιν, ἀτμίδα καὶ ἀπαύγασμα τοῦ πατρός.
