ἀλλ’ οὐδὲ τὸ ἄρρητον αὐτῶν ἔλαθεν ἡμᾶς. ταῦτα δὲ συγκεχωρήσθω Οὐαλεντίνῳ καὶ τῇ αὐτοῦ σχολῇ. ὁ δὲ Μάρκος μιμούμενος τὸν διδάσκαλον καὶ αὐτὸς ἀναπλάσσει ὅραμα, νομίζων αὔτως δοξασθήσεσθαι. καὶ γὰρ Οὐαλεντῖνος φάσκει ἑαυτὸν ἑωρακέναι παῖδα νήπιον ἀρτιγέννητον, οὑ πυθόμενος ἐπιζητεῖ τίς ἂν εἵη, ὁ δὲ ἀπεκρίνατο λέγων, ἑαυτὸν εἶναι τὸν λόγον· ἔπειτα προσθεὶς τραγικόν τινα μῦθον ἐκ τούτου συνιστᾶς βούλεται τὴν ἐπικεχειρημένην αὐτῷ αἵρεσιν.
