διὸ οὐκέτι περὶ βασιλέως ἠρώτα ἐπιγείου ἢ ἀνθρώπου, ἀλλὰ περὶ Χριστοῦ, λέγων τοῖς γραμματεῦσι καὶ ἱερεῦσι »ποῦ ὁ Χριστὸς γεννᾶται;« καὶ ἤκουσε παρ᾿ αὐτῶν »ἐν Βηθλεὲμ τῆς Ἰουδαίας«· καὶ παρὰ μὲν τούτων ἐρωτήσας τὸν τόπον ἔγων, παρὰ δὲ τῶν μάγων τὸν χρόνον. καὶ γὰρ καὶ αὐτοὶ οἱ μάγοι μετὰ διετίαν ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν Ἐπιφανείων εἰς Βηθλεὲμ ἐγένοντο καὶ τὰ δῶρα προσήνεγκαν, [καὶ] τὴν σμύρναν καὶ τὸν χρυσὸ καὶ τὸν λίβανον. ἐν αὐτῇ γὰρ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῶν Ἐπιφανείων αἱ ἀρχαὶ γεγόνασι πολλῶν [πραγμάτων] σημείων τῆς ἐπιφανείας.
