[44] τούτων ἐστὶν ὁ Χαλδαϊστὶ μὲν προσαγορευόμενος Ἰσραήλ, Ἑλληνιστὶ δὲ ὁρῶν θεόν, οὐχ οἷός ἐστιν ¹ ὁ θεός — τοῦτο γὰρ ἀμήχανον, ὡς ἔφην —, ἀλλ’ ὅτι ἔστιν, οὐ παρ’ ἑτέρου τινὸς μαθών, οὐχὶ τῶν κατὰ γῆν, οὐχὶ τῶν κατ’ οὐρανόν, οὐχὶ τῶν ὅσα στοιχεῖα ἢ συγκρίματα θνητά τε αὖ καὶ ἀθάνατα, ἀλλὰ παρ’ αὐτοῦ μόνου μετακληθεὶς τὴν ἰδίαν ὕπαρξιν ἀναφῆναι θελήσαντος ἱκέτῃ.

[44] In this company is the man who in the Chaldaean language is denominated Israel, but in the Greek "seeing God;" not meaning by this expression seeing what kind of being God is, for that is impossible, as I have said before, but seeing that he really does exist; not having learnt this fact from any one else, nor from anything on earth, nor from anything in heaven, nor from any one of the elements, nor from anything compounded of them, whether mortal or immortal, but being instructed in the fact by God himself, who is willing to reveal his own existence to his suppliant.
