ὅσην δὲ βάσανον ἡμεῖς περὶ τούτων κατὰ τὸ τὸνατὸν νατὸν πεποιήμεθα, οὐδένα ἀπαραμύθητον ἐῶντες τῶν λεγομένων ὅρων, συγκρῖναι τοῖς ὑπὸ Ἡρακλέωνος, ἅτε οὐκ ἐξουσίαν ἔχοντος τοῦ λέγειν ὅ βούλεται, ἀποφανθεῖσιν. πῶς γὰρ ὅτι περὶ τῶν περὶ αὐτόν ἐστιν τὸ Ἠλίαν αὐτὸν καὶ προφήτην εἶναι, καὶ περὶ αὐτοῦ τὸ φωνὴν αὐτὸν εἶναι βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, οὐδὲ κατὰ τὸ τυχὸν πειρᾶται ἀποδεικνύναι· ἀλλὰ χρῆται παρασείγματι, τὰ περὶ αὐτὸν οἱονεὶ ἐνδύματα ἡν ἕτερα αὐτοῦ, αὐτοῦ, καὶ οὐκ ἂν ἐρωτηθεὶς περὶ τῶν ἐνδυμάτων εἰ αὐτὸς εἵη τὰ ἐνδύματα, ἀπεκρίθη ἂν τὸ Ναί.
