Greek text · Dindorf 4:116

μετὰ δὲ ταύτην τὰς Παύλου καταλεκτέον ἐπιστολὰς, αἷς ἐξῆς τὴν φερομένην Ἰωάννου προτέραν καὶ ὁμοίως τὴν Πέτρου κυρωτέον ἐπιστολήν. ἐπὶ τούτοις τακτέον, εἴ γε φανείη, τὴν Ἀποκάλυψιν Ἰωάννου, περὶ ἧς τὰ δόξαντα κατὰ καιρὸν ἐκθησόμεθα.

English · Claude translation

After this must be reckoned the letters of Paul; next after them must be ratified the extant former letter of John, and likewise the letter of Peter. After these must be placed, if it seems right, the Apocalypse of John, the opinions about which we shall set out in due course.
