Greek text · Dindorf 4:11

ἀλλὰ γὰρ ἐν οἰκείοις ὑπομνήμασι τὰς περὶ τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ προφητικὰς ἐκλογὰς συναγαγόντες, ἀποδεικτικώτερόν τε τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ δηλούμενα ἐν ἑτέροις συστήσαντες, τοῖς εἰρημένοις ἐπὶ τοῦ παρόντος ἀρκεσθησόμεθα.

English · Claude translation

But since we have collected the prophetic extracts concerning our Saviour Jesus Christ in separate memoirs, and have set out more demonstratively elsewhere what is revealed about him, we shall be content for the present with what has been said.
