3 Αὐτοκράτορι Καίσαρι Σεβαστῷ νικητῆ τροπαούχῳ· γνωστὸν ἔστω σοι ὅτι Ἰωάννης τις ὀνόματι, τῷ γένει Ἰουδαῖος, τῆς θρησκείας τῶν Γαλιλαίων, καταλαβὼν τὴν Ἀσίαν, ἔτι μὴν καὶ τὴν δουλικήν σου πόλιν Ἐφεσίων, ἐξέστησε πάντας καὶ ἀνέτρεψεν ἐκ τῆς πατροπαραδότου θρησκείας, ἕλκων πάντας ὀπίσω αὐτοῦ, ὥστε γενέσθαι ξένον ὄνομα καὶ ἔθνος ἕτερον· καὶ εἰ μὴ σπεύσας τοῦτον ταχέως σβέσῃς, ἀπώλεσε καὶ τὸ ἔθνος καὶ τὴν χώραν.
