Greek text · Dindorf 4:256

ἐν μὲν οὖν τοῖς Στρωματεῦσιν οὐ μόνον τῆς θείας κατάστρωσιν πεποίηται γραφῆς, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν παρʼ Ἕλλησιν, εἴ τι ἄρα ὠφέλιμον ἐδόκει καὶ αὐτοῖς εἰρῆσθαι, μνημονεύει, τῶν τε παρὰ τοῖς πολλοῖς δογμάτων, τὰ Ἑλλήνων ὁμοῦ καὶ τὰ βαρβάρων ἀναπτύσσων.

English · Claude translation

In the Miscellanies he has made a patchwork not only of the divine Scripture but also of the Greek writers, mentioning anything that seemed useful to have been said by them too, and unfolding the opinions of the many, both Greek and barbarian.
