[162] 8 Τὰς μὲν οὖν ἀρὰς καὶ τιμωρίας, ἃς ὑπομένειν ἄξιον τοὺς τῶν ἱερῶν νόμων δικαιοσύνης καὶ εὐσεβείας ὑπερορῶντας καὶ ταῖς πολυθέοις
δόξαις ὑπαχθέντας, ὧν ἀθεότης τὸ τέλος, λήθῃ τῆς συγγενοῦς καὶ πατρίου διδασκαλίας, ἣν ἐκ πρώτης ἡλικίας ἐπαιδεύθησαν τὴν τοῦ ἑνὸς φύσιν τὸν ἀνωτάτω νομίζειν θεόν, ᾧ δεῖ μόνῳ προσκεκληρῶσθαι τοὺς ἄπλαστον ἀλήθειαν ἀντὶ πεπλασμένων μύθων μεταδιώκοντας, οὐδὲν ὑποστειλάμενος δεδήλωκα.

I have now, then, without making any concealment or softening the truth in any degree, explained the curses and the punishments which it is fit for those persons to endure who have despised the sacred laws of justice and piety, and who have submitted themselves to the adoption of polytheistic opinions, the end of which is impiety through forgetfulness of the instruction originally imparted to them by their forefathers, which they learnt in their earliest infancy, when they were taught to look upon the nature of the One as the only ¹ supreme God, to whom alone those persons may properly be assigned as his inheritance who pursue the genuine truth instead of cunningly invented fables.
