οὕτω καὶ ἡμῖν τὸ πόνημα διὰ τὴν τῶν προειρημένων ἀποτροπὴν καὶ ὑμῶν, ποθεινότατοι, * εἰς τὸ ἀποκαλύψαι τῶν δεινῶν ἑρπετῶν καὶ θηρίων μορφάς τε καὶ ἰοὺς καὶ δήγματα ὀλετήρια. πρὸς ἀντίθεσιν δὲ τούτων ὅσαπερ δυνάμεθα ἐν συντόμῳ εἴ που ἓν ἢ δύο ῥήματα εἰς τὸ ἀνακρούσασθαι μὲν αὐτῶν τὸν ἰόν, οῶσαι δὲ τὸν βουλόμενον * μετὰ τὸν κύριον καὶ καθ’ ἑκουσίαν γνώμην καὶ ἀκουσίαν εἰς τὰ αὐτὰ ἑρπετώδη τῶν αἱρέσεων διδάγματα παραπεπτωκότα ἀντιδότων δίκην παραθησόμεθα.
