The Ben. Edd. note “Existimat Combefisius verbum  μετασχηματίζεσθαι sic reddendum esse, in various formas mutari.  Sed id non dicebat Sabellius.  Hoc tantum dicebat, ut legimus in Epist. ccxiv.  Unum quidem hypostasi Deum esse, sed sub diversis personis a Scripturare præsentari.  According to Dante the minds of the heresiarchs were to Scripture as bad mirrors, reflecting distorted images; and, in this sense, μετασχηματιζειν might be applied rather to them. “Si fe Sabellio ed Arrio e quegli stolti, Che furon come spade alle scritture In render torti li diritti volti.” Par. xiii. 123 (see Cary’s note).
