Greek text · Dindorf 4:101–102

ἀπὸ δὲ Ἀρταξέρξου μέχρι τοῦ καθʼ ἡμᾶς χρόνου ‘γέγραπται μὲν ἕκαστα, πίστεως δʼ οὐχ ὁμοίας ἠξί- “ωται τοῖς πρὸ αὐτῶν, διὰ τὸ μὴ γενέσθαι τὴν τῶν προ- “φητῶν ἀκριβῆ διαδοχήν.

English · Claude translation

From Artaxerxes to our own time everything has been recorded, but it has not been thought worthy of the same credit as what came before, because the exact succession of the prophets did not continue.
