 2       I|        examine the teachers of religion, both our own and yours,
 3       I|        their fathers the false religion, may now, when they perceive
 4       I|        we ourselves follow the religion of our forefathers according
 5      II|       ye call your teachers of religion? The poets? It will do your
 6     III|   themselves have learned this religion of yours? For it is impossible
 7      IV|  assert to be your teachers of religion: some of them declaring
 8      IV|        they can learn the true religion from these philosophers,
 9       V| received the doctrine of their religion not from those who have
10       V|   learned the perfect and true religion. But I would be glad to
11    VIII|       anything true concerning religion from your teachers, who
