Θεοδώρου Μονάχου. Πλὴν ἰστέον ὡς ἔστι διαφορὰ ῥίζης καὶ ἀπαρχῆς. ἡ μὲν γὰρ ἀπαρχὴ, μετὰ τὴν τοῦ παντὸς έκλέγεται συλλογήν. ἡ δὲ ῥίζα, ἀρχή τις νενόμισται πράγματος. ὅθεν κἀνταῦθα ἀκολούθως, ἀπαρχὴν μὲν ἐκάλεσε τὸν Χριστόν· ὡς ἐκ παντὸς εἰλημμένον τοῦ τῶν Ἰουδαίων συλλόγου. ῥίζαν δὲ, τὸν Ἁβραάμ· ἐξ οὗπερ ὅλον ἔφυ τὸ γένος. καλῶς ἐξ ἑκατέρου τὸ πρὸς τὴν εὐσέβειαν αὐτῶν ἐπιτήδειον εἰπεῖν προθέμενος. γελοῖον γὰρ, τὴν μὲν ἀπαρχὴν αὐτῶν ἁπάσης ἀξίαν ἡγεῖσθαι τιμῆς, τούτους δὲ προσιέναι βουλομένους τῇ εὐσεβείᾳ, ἀπωθεῖσθαι ὡς οὐκ ἀξίους τοῦ πράγματος.
