Greek text · Dindorf 4:330–331

ἅπερ οὐκ ἀναγκαῖον νῦν ἐκλέγειν· “οὐδὲ γὰρ ἐπισκώπτων, μή τις νομίσῃ, ταῦτα εἷ- ‘πον, ἀλλὰ μόνον τὴν ἀνομοιότητα διευθύνων τῶν γραφῶν.

English · Claude translation

It is not necessary to pick these out now; for let no one think that I said these things in mockery, but only to set out the dissimilarity of the writings.”
