ἀλλὰ ἐκείνῳ μὲν καὶ ἔργον εὑρεῖν ἐδόκει τὸ πρᾶγμα, καὶ ἦν ὡς ἀληθῶς μέγιστον, ἀδύνατον δὲ ἦν αὐτῷ λέγειν εἰς πάντας, ὅτι μὴ παρῆν αὐτῷ τοσαύτη τις εὐσεβείας δύναμις ὅση τοῖς Ἰησοῦ μαθηταῖς, οἷς διὰ τῆς τοῦ διδασκάλου συνεργίας τὸν πατέρα καὶ δημιουργὸν τῶν ὅλων εὑρεῖν τε καὶ γνῶναι ῥᾴδιον γέγονε, καὶ εὑροῦσιν εἰς πᾶν γένος ἀνθρώπων ἐξενεγκεῖν ἀνακαλύψαι τεκαὶ πληρῶσαι καὶ κηρῦξαι τὴν γνῶσιν πᾶσιν, ὥστε ἐκ τῆς αὐτόν ἐκείνων διδασκαλίας εἰσέτι νῦν κατὰ τὸν παρόντα καιρὸν ἐν ὅλοις τοῖς ἐπὶ γῆς ἔθνεσι μυρία πλήθη οὐ μόνον ἀνδρῶν, ἀλλὰ καὶ γυναικῶν καὶ παίδων, οἰκετῶν τε καὶ ἀγροίκων, τοσοῦτον τῷ τοῦ Πλάτωνος μὴ πείθεσθαι, ὡς τὸν ποιητὴν καὶ δημιουργὸν τοῦδε τοῦ παντὸς μόνον θεὸν γνωρίζειν καὶ μόνον σέβειν καὶ μόνον διὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ θεολογεῖν. ταῦτ’ ἦν τοῦ νέου καὶ καινοῦ γόητος τὰ κατορθώματα, τοιαῦτα τοῦ νομιζομένου πλάνου τὰ γοητεύματα, καὶ τοιοίδε οἱ τοῦ Ἰησοῦ μαθηταὶ, ἀφ’ ὣν δεῖ τὸν διδάσκαλον ὁποῖός τις ἣν γνωρίζειν.
