Κἀγὼ πάλιν ἀναλαβὼν τὸν λόγον, ὁπόθεν τὴν ἀρχὴν ἐπεπαύμην ἀποδεικνύων ὅτι ἐκ παρθένου γεννητὸς καὶ διὰ παρθένου γεννηθῆναι αὐτὸν διὰ Ἡσαίου ἐπεπροφήτευτο, καὶ αὐτὴν προφητείαν πάλιν ἔλεγον.

English · Claude translation

And I took up the argument again from where I had left off, proving that he was born of a virgin, and that it had been prophesied through Isaiah that he would be born through a virgin, and I recited the prophecy itself again.
