Ἐγὼ δὲ τὴν πρὸς τὸν ὁμώνυμον αὐτῷ γραφεῖσαν ἐπιστολὴν ἐνθήσω τῇ συγγραφῇ, σαφῶς ἅπαντα τὰ κατ’ ἐκεῖνον διδάσκουσαν, ὡς ἂν μή τις ὑπολάβοι πλάττοντά με ταῦτα συγγράφειν· καὶ μετὰ τήνδε, τὴν αὐτοῦ γε Ἀρείου, καὶ μετ’ ἐκείνην τὰς ἄλλας ὥν ἡ τῆς ἱστορίας δεῖται διήγησις, ἵνα μαρτυρῶσι τῇ ἀληθείᾳ τῆς συγγραφῆς καὶ σαφέστερον τὰ γεγενημένα διδάσκωσιν. γράφει δὲ ὁ τῆς Ἀλεξανδρέων Ἀλέξανδρος πρὸς τὸν ὁμώνυμον ταῦτα·
