Greek text · Archambault 1:296

Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων· Ἰσχυρῶς καὶ διὰ πολλῶν δείκνυταί σοι τοῦτο, φίλε, ἔφη. Λοιπὸν οὖν καὶ ὅτι οὗτος διὰ τῆς παρθένου ἄνθρωπος γεννηθῆναι κατὰ τὴν τοῦ πατρὸς αὐτοῦ βούλησιν ὑπέμεινεν ἀπόδειξον καὶ σταυρωθῆναι καὶ ἀποθανεῖν· δήλου δὲ καὶ ὅτι μετὰ ταῦτα ἀναστὰς ἀνελήλυθεν εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν.

English · Claude translation

And Trypho said, “This has been proved by you strongly and from many passages, friend. It remains, then, for you to prove that he consented to be born a man through the Virgin according to the will of his Father, and to be crucified and die; and show too that after this he rose and went up into heaven.”
