Ἐντεῦθεν ἡ πόλις περὶ αὐτὸν πᾶσα συνέῤῥεον, καὶ τῇ τῆς πνευματικῆς ἐκείνης διδασκαλίας γλυκύτητι πρὸς τὴν ἀληθῆ πίστιν πάντας ἐπήγετο, ὡς καὶ πολλοὺς ὅσαι ἡμέραι βαπτίζεσθαι, εἰς πεντακοσίους τε τὸν ἀριθμὸν ἀναβῆναι, καὶ τὴν εὐσέβειαν καθ’ ἑκάστην ἐπιδιδόναι. οὔπω τοίνυν ἐνιαυτὸς τὴν ὑπερορίαν ἐμέτρει, καὶ οἰκοδομοῦνται μὲν ὑπὸ τῶν πιστευσάν‐ των ἐκκλησίαι τὸν ἀριθμὸν πέντε καὶ ἑβδομήκοντα, τεμένη τε εἰδώλων καὶ ναοὶ καθαιροῦνται, καὶ τὰ παραπεφυκότα τούτοις ἄλση ἐπὶ πολὺ γῆς δακνούμενα τὸ πῦρ κατανέμεται, καὶ πᾶσα τῶν δαιμόνων καταβάλλεται ἡ μανία.
