μάταιός τε πᾶς ὁ Μαρκέλλου πεφώραται πόνος οὐσιώδη λόγον ζῶντα καὶ ὑφεστῶτα τὸν ἐν τῇ σαρκὶ γενόμενον ὁριζομένου. εἰ δ’ ἐκτὸς ὑπῆρχεν τοῦ θεοῦ ὁ ἐν τῷ σώματι κατοικῶν λόγος, ἥνωτο δὲ καὶ συνῆπτο τῷ θεῷ ὡς ἕν τε καὶ ταὐτὸν εἶναι αὐτῷ, | ἐξ ἀνάγκης δώσει ἢ αὐτὸν εἶναι τὸν πατέρα ἐν τῇ σαρκί, ἢ τὸν υἱὸν ὑφεστῶτα καθ’ ἑαυτὸν καὶ ἐνεργοῦντα ἐν τῷ σώματι, ἢ ψυχὴν ἀνθρώπου, ἢ εἰ μηδὲν τούτων, αὐτόματον κινεῖσθαι τὴν σάρκα, ἄψυχον οὖσαν καὶ ἄλογον.
