Dialogue with Trypho 45.1 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:198

Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων· Εἰ καὶ ἐγκόπτειν δοκῶ τοῖς λόγοις τούτοις οἷς λέγεις ἀναγκαίοις οὖσιν ἐξετασθῆναι, ἀλλʼ οὖν κατεπείγοντος τοῦ ἐπερωτήματος, ὃ ἐξετάσαι βούλομαι, ἀνάσχου μου πρῶτον. Κἀγώ· Ὅσα βούλει ἐξέταζε, ὥς σοι ἐπέρχεται· ἐγὼ γὰρ καὶ μετὰ τὰς ἐξετάσεις καὶ ἀποκρίσεις τοὺς λόγους ἀναλαμβάνειν πειράσομαι καὶ πληροῦν.

English · Claude translation

And Trypho said, “Even if I seem to be interrupting these words of yours, which need to be examined, still, since the question I wish to examine is pressing, bear with me first.” And I said, “Examine whatever you wish, as it occurs to you; for after the questions and answers I will try to take up the argument again and complete it.”
