Βούλομαι οὖν, πρὶν εἰπεῖν τὴν αἰτίαν τῆς ἰσημερίας μυστικὴν οὔσαν καὶ τῆς τεσσαρεσκαιδεκάτης κατὰ σελήνην καὶ ταύτην τῷ μυστηρίῳ συμβαλλομένην καὶ πάλιν τῶν τριῶν ἡμερῶν τὴν αἰτίαν ἁρμόζουσαν πρὸς τὸ τέλος τοῦ μυστηρίου, πρῶτον εἰπεῖν τὴν ἔξω τῶν Ἰουδαίων συνήθειαν καὶ <τῶν> ταύτην ἀλόγως ἐπισυρομένων, εἶθ' οὕτω διακρῖναι τοῦ ἐκκλησιαστικοῦ μυστηρίου τὴν καθαρότητα· καὶ γὰρ καὶ αἱρετικοὶ τούτου, εἰ καὶ ἐσφαλμένως, ἀλλ' ὅμως ἐξέχονται.
