ἀλλʼ οὐδʼ ἥτις ἰσχὺς μυριάδων στρατοῦ μετʼ ἀδικημάτων πολεμοῦντος· ἐν γὰρ μόνῳ τῷ δικαίῳ καὶ πρὸς τὸ θεῖον εὐσεβεῖ τὴν βεβαιοτάτην ἐλπίδα τοῦ κρατεῖν τῶν ἐναντίων ἀποκεῖσθαι συμβέβηκεν, ἥτις ἐστὶ παρʼ ἡμῖν τετηρηκόσιν ἀπʼ ἀρχῆς τὰ νόμιμα καὶ τὸν ἴδιον θεὸν σεβομένοις, ὃν οὐ χεῖρες ἐποίησαν ἐξ ὕλης φθαρτῆς οὐδʼ ἐπίνοια πονηροῦ βασιλέως ἐπὶ τῇ τῶν ὄχλων ἀπάτῃ κατεσκεύασεν, ἀλλʼ ὃς ἔργον ἐστὶν αὑτοῦ καὶ ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος τῶν ἁπάντων.
