ἐν δὲ ταῖς ῥηταῖς βίβλοις οὐ πάνυ σαφῶς αἱ τούτων γενεαλογίαι ἐμφέρονται ἢ μόνον ἐν ταῖς Παραλειπομέναις τῆς κατὰ τὸν Ἠλίαν ὑποθέσεως μέρη. φύσει δὲ τῶν τριῶν παίδων, Σεδρὰχ Μιχὰκ Ἀβδεναγώ, οὔτε ἐν παραδόσεσιν οὔτε ἐν ἀποκρύφοις τοὺς πατέρας ηὕραμεν. τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν; ἆρα κἀκεῖνοι, οἹ περ Σεδρὰχ Μισὰκ Ἀβοδεναγώ, φαντάσουσιν ἡμᾶς λογίζεσθαι ἃ μὴ χρὴ καὶ ὑπερόγκως θαυμάζειν ὑπὲρ τὸ μέτρον ἑκάστην ὑπόθεσιν, ἀπάτορας καὶ ἀμήτορας αὐτοὺς λογισάμενοι; ἀλλὰ μὴ γένοιτο. ὅροι γὰρ ἐτέθησαν ἡμῖν καὶ θεμέλιοι εἰς οἰκοδομὴν τῆς πίστεως καὶ ἀποστόλων παραδόσεις καὶ γραφαὶ ἅγιαι καὶ διαδοχαὶ διδασκάλων, καὶ ἐκ πανταχόθεν ἡ ἀλήθεια τοῦ θεοῦἠσφάλισται καὶ μηδεὶς ἀπατάσθω κενοῖς μύθοις.
