The eight surviving Greek fragments of Theodotus are preserved as quotations in Eusebius of Caesarea, who draws these extracts from Alexander Polyhistor (see Praep. Evang. 9.22.11). The text published here is based on the standard critical edition of Eusebius' Praeparatio Evangelica edited by Karl Mras (see below). These fragments are found in Eusebius as follows:
| Fragment 1 | Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.22.1 |
| Fragment 2 | Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.22.2 |
| Fragment 3 | Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.22.3 |
| Fragment 4 | Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.22.4-6 |
| Fragment 5 | Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.22.7 |
| Fragment 6 | Eusebius, Praep. Evang. 9.22.8-9a |
