τοῦτο γὰρ τοῖς τὸ παλαιὸν πρωτοτόκοις καὶ θεῷ ἀριερωθεῖσιν ὑπῆρχεν τὸ ἀξίωμα, ὧν εἷς ὑπῆρχεν ὁ Σαμψὼν καὶ ἄλλοι μετ’ αὐτὸν καὶ πρὸ αὐτοῦ πολλοί , ἀλλὰ καὶ Ἰωάννης ὁ βαπτιστὴς τῶν αὐτῶν ἀφηγιασμένων τῷ θεῷ καὶ αὐτὸς εἷς ὑπῆρχεν· »οἶνον γὰρ καὶ σίκερα οὐκ ἔπινεν«· ὡρίζετο γὰρ τοῖς τοιούτοις αὕτη ἁρμόδιος τῷ ἐφιώματι ἡ πολιτεία.
