Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων ἀπεκρίνατο· Μεμνησόμεθα καὶ ταύτης τῆς ἐξηγήσεώς σου, ἐὰν καὶ δι᾿ ἄλλων κρατύνῃς καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ἀπόρημα. Τανῦν δὲ ἤδη ἀναλαβὼν τὸν λόγον ἀπόδειξον ἡμῖν ὅτι ἕτερος θεὸς παρὰ τὸν ποιητὴν τῶν ὅλων ὑπὸ τοῦ προφητικοῦ πνεύματος ὡμολόγηται εἶναι. φυλαξάμενος λέγειν τὸν ἥλιον καὶ τὴν σελήνην [cf. Deut., IV. 19], ἃ γέγραπται τοῖς ἔθνεσι [fol. 104] συγκεχωρηκέναι τὸν θεὸν ὡς θεοὺς προσκυνεῖν· καὶ τούτῳ τῷ λόγῳ ὡς παραχρώμενοι προφῆται πολλάκις λέγουσιν ὅτι Ὁ θεός σου θεὸς τῶν θεῶν ἐστι καὶ κύριος τῶν κυρίων, προστιθέντες ὁ μέγας καὶ ἰσχυρὸς καὶ φοβερὸς [Deut., X, 17] πολλάκις.
