Ὁ δὲ μὴ ἔχων τὸ ἀπαράβλητον καὶ ἀνυπέρβλητον καὶ πάντῃ πάντοθεν ἀνενδεὲς θεὸς εἶναι οὐ δύναται, καθ᾽ ὅ γεγένηται. πόσῳ γε μᾶλλον τὰ μόρια αὐτοῦ οὐκ ἂν εὐλόγως κληθείη θεός; μόρια δὲ λέγω τοὺς ὑφ᾽ ὑμῶν λεγομένους θεούς, ἐκ χρυσοῦ καὶ ἀργύρου χαλκοῦ τε καὶ λίθου ἢ καὶ ἐξ ἄλλης ὕλης τινὸς οὖν γεγονότα, καὶ ταῦτα ὑπὸ θνητῆς χειρὸς δεδημιουργημένα. ὅμως δὲ πρὸς ταῦτα ἴδωμεν, οἷα δι᾽ ἀνθρώπου στόματος ὁ δεινὸς ὄφις φαρμάσσει τοῖς ὑπειγμοῖς τοὺς ἐξαπατωμένους.
