Greek text · Dindorf 4:271

καταλέλοιπε καὶ “ἐπιστολὴν πάνυ ὀλίγων στίχων, ἔστω δὲ καὶ δευτέ- “ραν καὶ τρίτην· ἐπεὶ οὐ πάντες φασὶ γνησίους εἶναι “ ταύτας· πλὴν οὐκ εἰσὶ στίχων ἀμφότεραι᾿

English · Claude translation

He has also left a letter of very few lines, and perhaps a second and a third; for not all say that these are genuine; but the two together are not a hundred lines long.”
