καὶ πολλὰ ἔστι περὶ τούτου λέγειν, λέγειν, ὅμως ἐπειδὴ εἰς τὸν τόπον ἐλήλυθα δι' ἣν αἰτίαν Ἰεσσαῖοι ἐκαλοῦντο πρὶν τοῦ καλεῖσθαι Χριστιανοὶ οἱ εἰς Χριστὸν πεπιστευκότες, τούτου ἕνεκα ἔφημεν ὅτι ὁ Ἰεσσαὶ πατὴρ γίνεται τοῦ Δαυίδ, καὶ ἤτοι ἐξ ὑποθεσέως τούτου τοῦ Ἰεσσαὶ ἤτοι ἐκ τοῦ ὀνόματος Ἰησοῦ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἐπεκλήθησαν Ἰεσσαῖοι διὰ τὸ ἐξ Ἰησοῦ ὁρμᾶσθαι, μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ ὄντες, ἢ διὰ τὸ τῆς ἐτυμολογίας τοῦ ὀνόματος τοῦ κυρίου· Ἰησοῦς γὰρ κατὰ τὴν Ἑβραικὴν διάλεκτον θεραπευτὴς καλεῖται ἤτοι ἰατρὸς καὶ σωτήρ.
