πιθανὸν δέ τι ὁ Ἰώσηπος καὶ γελοιῶδες ὑφηγεῖτο, οἶμαι δὲ τάχα ὅτι καὶ 〈ἐν τούτῳ〉 ἠλήθευεν. ἔφασκε γὰρ ὅτι τελευτησάσης τῆς αὐτοῦ συμβίου, δεδιὼς μή πη ἄρα ἁρπάζωσιν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἀρειανοὶ καὶ καταστήσωσι κληρικόν πολλάκις γὰρ κολακεύσαντες αὐτὸν πεισθῆναι τῇ αἱρέσει ὑπισχνοῦντο μείζονας προκοπάς, εἰ δέον, καὶ ἐπίσκοπον αὐτὸν καταστῆσαι) — ὁ δὲ ἔφασκε τούτου χάριν συνῆφθαι δευτέρᾳ γυναικί, ὅπως διαδράσοι τὰς αὐτῶν χειροτονίας.
