καὶ τίνα ἔφη, ὦ δέσποται, ἔλεγχον μείζονα βούλεσθε, ἢ ποίαν ἀπόδειξιν φανερωτέραν; ἐπιτρέψατε γὰρ δή μοι ἔφη προελθόντι τῶν βασιλείων διά τινος τῶν ἐμοὶ πιστῶν δηλῶσαι ὅτι δὴ τὸ ἔργον κατείργασται. ὃ δὲ ἀφίξεται πιστεύσας, καὶ οἰόμενος ἔρημα τὰ βασίλεια καταλήψεσθαι. ὅταν δὲ ἀφίκηται, ὑμέτερον ἤδη ἔργον εὑρεῖν τὴν ἀλήθειαν. ἡσυχίαν δὲ εἶναι πολλὴν ἀνὰ τὰ βασίλεια κελεύσατε, ὅπως μὴ τὸ πραττόμενον προγνωσθὲν ἀνατραπῇ.
