Τοὺς βίους τῶν κατὰ Μωυσέα σοφῶν ἀνδρῶν, οὓς ἀρχηγέτας τοῦ ἡμετέρου ἔθνους καὶ νόμους ἀγράφους αἱ ἱεραὶ βίβλοι δηλοῦσιν, ἐν ταῖς προτέραις συντάξεσι μεμηνυκὼς κατὰ τὰ ἀκόλουθα ἑξῆς τῶν ἀναγραφέντων νόμων τὰς ἰδέας ἀκριβώσω μηδ’, εἴ τις ὑποφαίνοιτο τρόπος ἀλληγορίας, τοῦτον παρεὶς ἕνεκα τῆς πρὸς διάνοιαν φιλομαθοῦς ἐπιστήμης, ᾗ πρὸ τῶν ἐμφανῶν ἔθος τὰ ἀφανῆ ζητεῖν.
