Ταῦτα ὁρῶν ὁ πονηρότατος κατ’ ἐκεῖνο καιροῦ τῶν ὀφφικίων κόμης Πούπλιος Τουρκουτιανὸς ἐδυσχέραινε καὶ δεινὰ ἐποίει, καὶ σκοπῶν ὅπως ἂν ἐπίσχῃ περαιτέρω προβαίνονσαν τὴν εὐσέβειαν, αὐτὸν ἔγνω πρῶτον ἐκ ποδῶν ποιῆσαι τὸν Κλήμεντα, οἷα τῶν παρόντων αἰτιώτατον αὐτὸν ὄντα, καὶ τοὺς ἑκάστου μέρους τῆς πόλεως προεστῶτας συγκαλεσάμενος καὶ χρήμασιν αὐτοὺς διαφθείρας, στάσιν τινὰ κινῆσαι κατὰ τοῦ Κλήμεντος αὐτοῖς ὑπετίθει, καὶ διαβαλεῖν αὐτοῦ τὴν ὑπόληψιν προετρέπετο, ταύτῃ καταλῦσαι τὸ πρὸς αὐτὸν τῆς πόλεως φίλτρον βουλόμενος καὶ πρὸς ἐπιβουλὴν εὐχείρωτον τὸν ἄνδρα παρασκευάσαι.
