Greek text · Dindorf 4:219

“καὶ “πῶς οὐ καταφανὲς ἤδη γέγονε καὶ τοῦτο τὸ ψεῦδος; “πλείω γὰρ ἢ τρισκαίδεκα ἔτη εἰς ταύτην τὴν ἡμέ- “ραν, ἐξ οὗ τετελεύτηκεν ἡ γυνὴ, καὶ οὔτε μερικὸς “οὔτε καθολικὸς κόσμῳ γέγονε πόλεμος, ἀλλὰ καὶ “Χριστιανοῖς μᾶλλον εἰρήνη διάμονος ἐξ ἐλέου θεοῦ”. καὶ ταῦτα δὲ ἐκ τοῦ δευτέρου συγγράμματος

English · Claude translation

“And how has not this falsehood too already become manifest? For it is more than thirteen years to this day since the woman died, and there has been neither local nor general war in the world, but rather, by the mercy of God, continuing peace even for Christians.” This too is from the second book.
