Ἀκούσας δέ μου τῆς ἀληθείας ὁ Ἀππίων, ὁ ἀλόγως μισῶν τὸ Ἰουδαίων, καὶ τί ποτέ ἐστιν αὐτῶν τὸ πιστὸν οὔτε εἰδὼς οὔτε εἰδέναι θέλων, ἀκρίτως ὀργισθεὶς τῇ σιωπῇ ἐξ αὐτῆς ἤδη τῆς Ῥώμης ἀπηλλάσσετο· καὶ ἔκτοτε νῦν πρῶτον αὐτῷ συντετυχηκὼς τὸν ἐξ ἐκείνου τοῦ χρόνου θυμὸν ὑποπτεύω εἰκότως. πλὴν ἐφ᾽ ὑμῶν αὐτοῦ πεύσομαι, τί ἂν ἔχοι λέγειν περὶ τῶν λεγομένων θεῶν, ὧν οἱ βίοι παντοπαθεῖς εἶναι μυθολογούμενοι, πρὸς τὴν τοῦ ὁμοίου μίμησιν ἐπιτηδὲς ᾅδονται δημοσίᾳ, ὧν πρὸς τοῖς ἀνθρωπίνοις πάθεσιν, ὡς ἔφην, καὶ οἱ κατὰ τόπον δείκνυνται τάφοι.
