Ὡς οὖν τῇ τοῦ θεοῦ δυνάμει ἐπαγγειλάμενοι, θεοῦ βοηθοῦντος καὶ τὴν ἑξῆς ταύτῃ ὑφηγησόμεθα ταῖς πρότερον ἀκολουθήσασαν ματαιοφροσύναις αἵρεσιν Ὀφιτῶν, τὰ μὲν κατὰ τὰ αὐτὰ φερομένην τὰ δὲ διηλλαγμένην, λέγω δὲ τοῖς ἤθεσι καὶ σχήμασι τῶν χρωμένων αὐτῇ, ἴνα ἀπὸ τῆς μετεώρου πλάνης τῆς τούτων διαφωνίας παντί τῳ δῆλον ἔσηται ὅτι πλάνῃ ἄγονται καὶ οὐκ ἀληθείᾳ. φωραθήσεται δὲ νῦν τῷ λόγῳ καὶ ἐλεγχθήσεται ἡ κατ᾿ αὐτοὺς ἄνοια.
