Greek text · Dindorf 4:168

καὶ ἄλλος ὁ πρὸς Ἕλληνας, ἐν ᾧ μακρὸν περὶ πλείστων παρʼ ἡμῖν τε καὶ τοῖς Ἑλλήνων φιλοσόφοις ζητουμένων κατατείνας λόγον περὶ τῆς τῶν δαιμόνων διαλαμβάνει φύσεως· ἃ οὐδὲν ἂν ἐπείγοι τὰ νῦν παρατίθεσθαι.

English · Claude translation

And another, the one Against the Greeks, in which, having extended his discussion at length on very many questions investigated both by us and by the philosophers of the Greeks, he treats of the nature of demons; there is no need to quote these things now.
