ἔπειτα δʼ ὦφθαι αὐτὸν Ἰακώβῳ φησίν· εἶς δὲ καὶ οὗτος τῶ φερομένων τοῦ σωτῆρος ἀδελφῶν ἦν. εἶθʼ ὡς παρʼ τούτους κατὰ μίμησιν τῶν δώδεκα πλείστων ὅσω ὑπαρξάντων ἀποστόλων, οἷος καὶ αὐτὸς ὁ Παῦλος ἠ προστίθησι λέγων ’ ἔπειτα ὤφθη τοῖς ἀποστόλοις πᾶσι.” ταῦτα μὲν οὖν περὶ τῶνδε. τῆς δὲ περὶ τὸν Θαδδαῖον ἱστορίας τοιοῦτος γέγονεν ὁ τρόπος.
