δεινὴ δὲ καὶ φοβερὰ παρὰ πάντα τὰ ἑρπετὰ τυγχάνει, ἐν ἑαυτῇ τὸν ἀφανισμὸν ἐξεργαζομένη καὶ διὰ στόματος τὴν αἰσχρότητα ἀπολαμβάνουσα, ᾗ ἔοικεν αὕτη ἡ φρενοβλαβὴς αἵρεσις, ἧς τὴν κεφαλὴν καὶ τὸ σῶμα καὶ τὰ ἐξ αὐτῆς γεγεννημένα ἐνταῦθα συντρίψαντες τῷ ξύλῳ τῆς ζωῆς τὰς ἑτέρας διασκοπεῖν προέλθωμεν, θεὸν ἀρωγὸν ἐπαντλούμενοι. ᾧ τιμὴ καὶ κράτος εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας τῶν αἰώνων, ἀμήν.
