οὐκοῦν μετὰ τὴν περὶ τοῦ τῶν ὅλων δημιουργοῦ δημιουργοῦ καὶ τὰ περὶ τοῦ Χριστοῦ κοινῶς ἡμῖν τε κἀκείνοις παραδέδοται · ἔνθεν καὶ Χριστοὺς αὐτοὺς δὴ ἐκείνους τοὺς πρὸ Μώσεως θεοφιλεῖς, ὥσπερ οὑν ἡμᾶς Χριστιανοὺς, εὕροις ἂν κεκλημένους. καὶ τοῦτο δὲ ἐπά- κουσον ὥς φησι περὶ αὐτῶν ἐν Ψαλμοῖς τὸ λόγιον ‘ έν τῷ εἶναι αὐτοὺς ἀριθμῷ βραχεῖς, ὀλιγοστοὺς καὶ παροίκους ἐν αὐτῇ, καὶ διῆλθον ἐξ ἔθνους εἰς ἔθνος, καὶ ἐκ βασιλείας εἰς λαὸν ἕτερον, οὐκ ἀφῆκεν ἂν- θρωπον ἀδικῆσαι αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἤλεγξεν ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν b βασιλεῖς λέγων, μὴ ἅπτεσθε τῶν χριστῶν μου καὶ ἐν τοῖς προφήταις μου μὴ πονηρεύεσθε.
