κατ’ ἀρχὰς μὲν οὖν τοῦ διωγμοῦ διὰ μαστίγων ὑπομονῆς τοῖς κατὰ τὴν ὁμολογίαν διαπρέψας ἀγῶσι, μετὰ δὲ τὴν τῆς στρατείας ἀπαλλαγὴν ζηλωτὴν ἑαυτὸν καταστήσας τῶν τῆς θεοσεβείας ἀσκητῶν, ὀρφανῶν ἐρήμων καὶ χηρῶν ἀπεριστάτων, τῶν τε ἐν πενίαις καὶ ἀσθενείαις ἀπερριμμένων ἐπίσκοπος ὥσπερ καὶ ἐπίκουρος, πατρὸς καὶ κηδεμόνος δίκην, ἀναπέφανται, ὅθεν δὴ εἰκότ’ ὡς πρὸς τοῦ τοῖς τοιοῖσδε μᾶλλον τῶν διὰ καπνοῦ καὶ αἵματος θυσιῶν χαίροντος θεοῦ τῆς κατὰ τὸ μαρτύριον παραδόξου κλήσεως ἠξιώθη.
