καὶ γὰρ γὰρ φέρεται· »Οὑτοι ἠγοράσθησαν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων ἀπαρχὴ τῷ θεῷ »καὶ τῷ ἀρνίῳ, καὶ ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν οὐχ εὑρέθη ψεῦδος· ἄμω- »μοι γάρ εἰσιν.« οὐκ ἀγνοητέον δέ, ὅτι ό περὶ τῶν ἑκατὸν τεσσαράκοντα τεσσάρων χιλιάδων παρθένων λόγος ἐπιδέχεται ἀναγωγήν. περιττὸν δὲ νῦν καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὸν προκείμενον λόγον τὸ παρατίθεσθαι λέξεις προφητικὰς ταὐτὸν περὶ τῶν ἐξ ἐθνῶν ἡμᾶς διδασκούσας.
