τίς τοῖς τὸ μέγα στοιχεῖον τῆς γῆς οἰκοῦσι τοῖς τε κατὰ γῆν καὶ τοῖς κατὰ θάλατταν ἐφ' ἑκάστης ἑβδομάδος τὴν κυριακὴν χρηματίζουσαν ἡμέραν ἑορτὴν ἄγειν ἐπὶ ταὐτὸν συνιόντας παρα- δέδωκεν, καὶ οὐ τὰ σώματα πιαίνειν τὰς δὲ ψυχὰς ἐνθέοις παιδεύμασιν ἀναζωπυρεῖν παρεσκεύασεν ; τίς θεὸς ἢ καὶ ἥρως οὕτω πολε- μηθεὶς ὡς ὁ ἡμέτερος σωτὴρ τρόπαια νικητήρια κατὰ τῶν ἐχθρῶν ἤγειρεν; οἱ μὲν γὰρ οὐ διέλιπον ἐξ ἀρχῆς καὶ εἰς τέλος αὐτοῦ τὰ μαθήματά τε καὶ τὸν λαὸν πολιορκοῦντες, ὁ δ’ ἀφανὴς ἀφανῶς τοὺς οἰκείους αὐτοῖς ἱεροῖς οἴκοις ἐπὶ μέγα δόξης προῆγεν.
