Τίς δ’ ἄν εἴη ἀκρογωνιαῖοις ἤ οὖτος ὁ ζῶν καὶ πολυτίμτος λίθος μίαν ἐκ δυεῖν οἰκοδομῶν ὑποστηςάμενος διὰ τῆς αὐτοῦ διδασκαλίας; τὴν γὰρ Μωςέως μέχρις αὐτοῦ παραταθεῖσαν στήσας, ἐκ θατέρου μέρους τὴν ἡμετέραν ἐπισυνῆψεν τὴν κατὰ τὸ εὐαγγέλιον οἰκοδομήν. ὅθεν εἰκότως ἀκρογωνιαῖος ὠνόμασται. καὶ ἐν ψαλμοῖς δὲ εἴρηται “ λίθον ὅν ἀπεδοκίμασαν οἱ οἰκοδομοῦντες, οὖτος ἐγενήθη εἰς κεφαλὴν γωνίας. παρὰ κυρίου ἐγένετο αὕτη, καὶ ἔστι θαυμαστὴ ἐν ὀφθαλμοῖς ἡμῶν.”
