Κἀγὼ ἔφην· Ὡς βούλεσθε, καὶ τοῦτο πράξω· ἀποδείξατε δέ μοι ὑμεῖς πρῶτον ὅτι εἰς τὸν Ἐζεκίαν εἴρηται, ὅτι, πρὶν ἢ γνῶναι αὐτὸν καλεῖν πατέρα ἣ μητέρα, ἔλαβε δύναμιν Δαμασκοῦ καὶ τὰ σκύλα Σαμαρείας ἔναντι βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων. Οὐ γὰρ ὡς βούλεσθε [fol. 131] ἐξηγεῖσθαι συγχωρηθήσεται ὑμῖν, ὅτι Ἐζεκίας ἐπολέμησε τοῖς ἐν Δαμασκῷ ἢ ἐν Σαμαρείᾳ ἔναντι βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων. Πρὶν ἢ γὰρ γνῶναι τὸ παιδίον καλεῖν πατέρα ἢ μητέρα, ὁ προφητικὸς λόγος ἔφη. λήψεται δύναμιν Δαμασκοῦ καὶ σκύλα Σαμαρείας ἔναντι βασιλέως Ἀσσυρίων [IS., VIII, 4].
