Greek text · Dindorf 4:214

ὅ γέ τοι Ἀπελλῆς οὗτος μυρία κατὰ τοῦ Μωυσέως ἠσέβησε νόμου, διὰ πλειόνων συγγραμμάτων τοὺς θείους βλασφημήσας λόγους, εἰς ἔλεγχόν τε, ὥς γε δὴ ἐδόκει, καὶ ἀνατροπὴν αὐτῶν οὐ μικρὰν πεποιημένος σπουδήν. ταῦτα μὲν οὖν περὶ τούτων.

English · Claude translation

This Apelles committed countless impieties against the law of Moses, blaspheming the divine words in several writings and taking no small pains, as he thought, to refute and overthrow them. So much about these.
