ἵν᾽ οὖν ὡς ἥκιστα περιπίπτωμεν αὐταῖς, ὑποδεῖξαι βούλομαι τῷ λόγῳ καθάπερ ἐπί τινος γραφῆς
ὁποῖὸν τί ἐστιν ἡ διαβολὴ καὶ πόθεν ἄρχεται καὶ
ὁποῖα ἐργάζεται. μᾶλλον δὲ Ἀπελλῆς ὁ Ἐφέσιος πάλαι ταύτην
προὔλαβε τὴν εἰκόνα: καὶ γὰρ αὖ καὶ οὗτος διαβληθεὶς πρὸς τὸν Πτολεμαῖον ὡς μετεσχηκὼς
Θεοδότᾳ τῆς συνωμοσίας ἐν Τύρῳ, — ὁ δὲ Ἀπελλῆς οὐχ ἑωράκει ποτὲ τὴν Τύρον οὐδὲ τὸν Θεοδόταν, ὅστις ἦν, ἐγίνωσκεν, ἢ καθ᾽ ὅσον ἤκουε Πτολεμαίου τινὰ ὕπαρχον εἶναι τὰ κατὰ τὴν Φοινίκην ἐπιτετραμμένον. ἀλλ᾽ ὅμως τῶν ἀντιτέχνων τις Ἀντίφιλος τοὔνομα ὑπὸ φθόνου τῆς παρὰ βασιλεῖ τιμῆς καὶ ὑπὸ τῆς κατὰ τὴν τέχνην ζηλοτυπίας κατεῖπεν αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν ' Πτολεμαῖον ὡς εἴη κεκοινωνηκὼς τῶν ὅλων καὶ
ὡς θεάσαιτό τις αὐτὸν ἐν Φοινίκῃ συνεστιώμενον Θεοδότᾳ καὶ παρ᾽ ὅλον τὸ δεῖπνον πρὸς τὸ οὖς
αὐτῷ κοινολογούμενον, καὶ τέλος ἀπέφηνε τὴν Τύρου ἀπόστασιν καὶ Πηλουσίου κατάληψιν ἐκ τῆς Ἀπελλοῦ συμβουλῆς γεγονέναι.
