Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων· Ἀξίως μὲν θεοσεβείας καὶ τοῦτο πράττεις· εἰρωνεύεσθαι δέ μοι δοκεῖς, λέγων δύναμιν λόγων τεχνικῶν μὴ κεκτῆσθαι. Κἀγὼ πάλιν ἀπεκρινάμην· Ἐπεί σοι δοκεῖ ταῦτα οὕτως ἔχειν, ἐχέτω· ἐγὼ δὲ πέπεισμαι ἀληθῶς εἶναι. Ἀλλ᾿ ἵνα μᾶλλον τὰς ἀποδείξεις τὰς λοιπὰς ἤδη ποιήσωμαι, πρόσεχε τὸν νοῦν. Κἀκεῖνος· Λέγε. Κἀγώ· Ὑπὸ Μωσέως, ὦ ἀδελφοί, πάλιν γέγραπται, ἔλεγον, ὅτι οὗτος ὁ ὀφθεὶς τοῖς πατριάρχαις λεγόμενος θεὸς [cf. Gen., XVIII, 1] καὶ ἄγγελος [cf. Gen., XXXI, 11] καὶ κύριος [cf. Gen., XXXI, 10–13] λέγεται, ἵνα καὶ ἐκ τούτων ἐπιγνῶτε αὐτὸν ὑπηρετοῦντα τῷ τῶν ὅλων πατρί, ὡς ἤδη συνέθεσθε, καὶ διὰ πλειόνων πεπεισμένοι βεβαίως μενεῖτε.
