Greek text · Dindorf 4:257

καὶ τὴν πρὸς Ἑβραίους δὲ ἐπιστολὴν Παύλου μὲν εἶναί φησι, γεγράφθαι δὲ Ἑβραίοις Ἑβραικῇ φωνῇ, Λουκᾶν δὲ φιλοτίμως αὐτὴν μεθερμηνεύσαντα ἐκδοῦναι τοῖς Ἕλλησιν, ὅθεν τὸν αὐτὸν χρῶτα εὑρίσκεσθαι κατὰ τὴν ἑρμηνείαν ταύτης τε τῆς ἐπιστολῆς καὶ τῶν Πραξέων·

English · Claude translation

He says that the Letter to the Hebrews is Paul's, but was written to the Hebrews in the Hebrew language, and that Luke carefully translated it and published it for the Greeks; hence the same colouring of style is found in the translation of this letter and of the Acts.
