Greek text · Dindorf 4:132

ὥσπερ οὖν ἀμέλει τοῦ Ἰγνατίου ἐν αἷς κατελέξαμεν ἐπιστολαῖς, καὶ τοῦ Κλήμεντος ἐν τῇ ἀνωμολογημένῃ παρὰ πᾶσιν, ἣν ἐκ προσώπου τῆς Ῥωμαίων ἐκκλησίας τῇ Κορινθίων διετυπώσατο, ἐν ᾗ τῆς πρὸς Ἑβραίους πολλὰ νοήματα παραθεὶς, ἤδη δὲ καὶ αὐτολεξεὶ ῥητοῖς τισὶν ἐξ αὐτῆς χρησάμενος, σαφέστατα παρίστησιν ὅτι μη νέον ὑπάρχει τὸ σύγγραμμα.

English · Claude translation

as, for example, Ignatius in the letters we have listed, and Clement in the letter acknowledged by all, which he composed in the name of the church of the Romans to that of the Corinthians. In it he sets out many thoughts of the Letter to the Hebrews, and even uses some of its words verbatim, and so shows most clearly that the work is not recent.
