Greek text · Archambault 1:308

Καὶ ὁ Τρύφων ἔφη· Ὑπὸ τῶν τοσούτων γραφῶν δυσωπούμενος οὐκ οἶδα τί φῶ περὶ τῆς γραφῆς ἣν ἔφη Ἡσαΐας, καθʼ ἣν ὁ θεὸς οὐδενὶ ἑτέρῳ δοῦναι τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ λέγει, οὕτως εἰπών· Ἐγὼ κύριος ὁ θεός, τοῦτό μου ὄνομα, τὴν δόξαν μου ἑτέρῳ οὐ μὴ δώσω οὐδὲ τὰς ἀρετάς μου.

English · Claude translation

And Trypho said, “Shamed by so many Scriptures, I do not know what to say about the Scripture which Isaiah spoke, in which God says he gives his glory to no other, speaking thus: ‘I am the Lord God; this is my name; my glory I will not give to another, nor my virtues.’”
