Ἀλλὰ τί τὰ μικρὰ πρὸς τὰ μεγάλα διεξέρχομαι; τί δὲ τούτοις ἐμβραδύνω καὶ μὴ σφοδρῶς ἐπὶ τὰ κατεπείγοντα βαίνω; ἐφ’ οἷς εὑ οἶδ’ ὅτι θαυμάσετε καὶ μενεῖτε ἐπὶ πολὺ σὺν ἡμῖν ἀχανεῖς, ἐξιστάμενοι τῆς φιλανθρωπίας τὸν κύριον ὅτι μὴ ἄρδην τὸ ὅλον συνέστειλεν. ἃ γὰρ κατὰ τὸ γεγραμμένον μήτε γέγονε μήτε ἠκούσθη ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν ταῦτα ἐπ’ αὐτοῦ τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου ἐπετέλουν οἱ δυσσεβεῖς.
