πόσα τε ἄλλα εἰς τῆν τούτου τοῦ λόγου ὑπόθεσίν τε καὶ μαρτυρίαν, φημὶ δὲ τῆς τοῦ Χριστοῦ γεννήσεως. Γέγονέν τε καὶ γίνεται. Καὶ γὰρ καὶ μέρος τι τῆς ἀληθείας ἀναγκαζόμενοι ὁμολοεῖν οἱ τῆς τῶν εἰδώλων θρῃσκείας ἀρχηγέται καὶ ἀπατηλποὶ εἰς τὸ ἐξαπατῆσαι τοὺς πεισθέντας αὐτοῖς εἰδωλολάτρας ἐν πολλοῖς τόποις ἑορτὴν μεγίστην ἄγουσιν ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ νυκτὶ τῶν Ἐπιφανείων, εἰς τὸ ἐπὶ τῇ πλάνῃ ἐλπίσαντας μὴ ζητεῖν τὴν ἀλήθειαν.
