Ὅτι δέ ἐστι, φασίν, Εἱμαρμένη τοῖς ἄλλοις, τὰ ἀποτελέσματα προλεγόμενα δείκνυσιν, ἐναργὴς δὲ ἀπόδειξις καὶ ἡ τῶν μαθημάτων θεωρία. αὐτίκα οἱ μάγοι οὐ μόνον εἶδον τὸν ἀστέρα τοῦ κυρίου, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὸ ἀληθὲς ἔγνωσαν ὅτι βασιλεὺς ἐτέχθη καὶ ὧν βασιλεύς, ὅτι θεοσεβῶν· τότε Ἰουδαῖοι μόνοι διαβόητοι ἦσαν ἐπὶ θεοσεβείᾳ. διὰ τοῦτο γὰρ καὶ ὁ σωτὴρ, πρὸς θεοσεβεῖς κατιών, ἐπὶ τούτους ἦλθεν πρώτους τοὺς τότε ἐπὶ θεοσεβείᾳ δόξαν ἀποφερομένους.
