Greek text · Dindorf 4:25

ἐπεὶ οὖν οἱ τῇ γενεα- “λογίᾳ ταύτῃ ἐμφερόμενοι οἱ μὲν διεδέξαντο παῖς πα- “τέρα γνησίως, οἱ δὲ ἑτέροις μὲν ἐγεννήθησαν, ἑτέ- “ροις δὲ προσετέθησαν κλήσει, ἀμφοτέρων γέγονεν ἡ “μνήμη, καὶ τῶν γεγεννηκότων καὶ τῶν ὡς γεγεν- “νηκότων.

English · Claude translation

Since, then, of those included in this genealogy some succeeded their fathers legitimately as sons, while others were begotten by some but assigned by name to others, mention has been made of both, both of those who begot and of those who were reckoned as having begotten.
