Εἰ δὲ ἀληθῶς μέλλων τελευτᾷν, οἷά περ εἰώθει συμβαίνειν τῆς ψυχῆς ἤδη χωριζομένης τοῦ σώματος, καὶ θειότερα ἢ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον θεωρεῖν τῆς ψυχῆς δυναμένης, τὸν Χριστὸν ἐθεάσατο, οὐκ ἔχω λέγειν: οὐ γὰρ πολλῶν ὅδε ὁ λόγος: οὔτε δὲ ὡς ψεῦδος ἐκβαλεῖν θαρρῶ, ἐπεὶ οὐκ ἀπεικὸς καὶ τῶνδε θαυμαστότερα συμβῆναι, εἰς ἐπίδειξιν τοῦ μὴ ἀνθρωπείᾳ σπουδῇ συστῆναι τὴν ἐπώνυμον Χριστοῦ θρησκείαν.
