Greek text · Dindorf 4:256

καὶ ἔτι τὰς τῶν αἱρεσιαρχῶν ψευδοδοξίας εὐθύνων ἱστορίαν τε πολλὴν ἐξαπλοῖ, ὑπόθεσιν ἡμῖν πολυμαθοῦς παρέχων παιδείας. τούτοις ἅπασι καταμίγνυσι καὶ τὰ φιλοσόφων δόγματα, ὅθεν εἰκότως κατάλληλον τῇ ὑποθέσει καὶ τὴν προγραφὴν τῶν Στρωματέων πεποίηται.

English · Claude translation

He also corrects the false opinions of the heresiarchs and unfolds much history, giving us the material for a very learned education. With all these he mixes the doctrines of the philosophers, so that he has fittingly made the title of the Miscellanies correspond to its subject.
