Dialogue with Trypho 71.2 · Sophia Scriptura

Greek text · Archambault 1:344–346

Καὶ ὅτι πολλὰς γραφὰς τέλεον περιεῖλον ἀπὸ τῶν ἐξηγήσεων τῶν γεγενημένων ὑπὸ τῶν παρὰ Πτολεμαίῳ γεγενημένων πρεσβυτέρων, ἐξ ὧν διαρρήδην οὗτος αὐτὸς ὁ σταυρωθεὶς ὅτι θεὸς καὶ ἄνθρωπος καὶ σταυρούμενος καὶ ἀποθνήσκων κεκηρυγμένος ἀποδείκνυται, εἰδέναι ὑμᾶς βούλομαι· ἃς, ἐπειδὴ ἀρνεῖσθαι πάντας τοὺς ἀπὸ τοῦ γένους ὑμῶν ἐπίσταμαι, ταῖς τοιαύταις ζητήσεσιν οὐ προσβάλλω, ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ τὰς ἐκ τῶν ὁμολογουμένων ἔτι παρʼ ὑμῖν τὰς ζητήσεις ποιεῖν ἔρχομαι.

English · Claude translation

“And I want you to know that they have entirely removed many Scriptures from the translations made by the elders who were with Ptolemy, from which it is plainly shown that this very man who was crucified was proclaimed as God and man and as being crucified and dying; which, since I know that all those of your race deny them, I do not bring into such inquiries, but come to make my inquiries from those still acknowledged among you.
