(Against Rufinus, II:33 ) Thus Jerome acknowledged the principle by which the canon would be settled – the judgment of the Church (at least the local churches in this case) rather than his own judgment or the judgment of Jews; though concerning translation of Daniel to Greek, he wondered why one should use the version of a translator whom he regarded as a heretic and judaizer (Theodotion).
(Terhadap Rufinus, II:33, 402 Masehi) Dengan demikian Hieronimus mengakui prinsip yang digunakan untuk menetapkan kanon —yaitu penilaian Gereja, bukan penilaiannya sendiri atau pun penilaian orang-orang Yahudi; meskipun, mengenai terjemahan Kitab Daniel dalam bahasa Yunani, ia bertanya-tanya mengapa harus menggunakan versi dari seorang penerjemah yang dianggapnya sebagai bidat dan yudaiser (Theodotion).
