Greek text · Dindorf 4:67

πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄλλα, περὶ ὧν ὁ λόγος, ἐν ταὐτῷ διέξεισιν, ἐκεῖνα δʼ ἀναγκαῖον ἐφάνη δεῖν ἀναλέξασθαι, διʼ ὧν τὰ χαρακτηριστικὰ τῆς ἐκκλησιαστικῆς ἀγωγῆς ὑποτίθεται.

English · Claude translation

He goes through many other things in the same work concerning the people under discussion, but it seemed necessary to select those in which he sets out the characteristic features of the church's way of life.
