Ἕβδομον ἔτος τοῦ καθ’ ἡμῶν ἀγῶνος ἠνύετο, καί πως ἠρέμα τῶν καθ’ ἡμᾶς ἡσυχῆ τὸ ἀπερίεργον εἰληφότων, εἰς ὄγδοον τε διαγενομένων ἔτος, ἀμφὶ τὰ ἐν Παλαιστίνῃ χαλκοῦ μέταλλα οὐκ ὀλίγης ὁμολογητῶν συγκεκροτημένης πληθύος, πολλῇ τε τῇ παρρησίᾳ χρωμένων, ὡς καὶ οἴκους εἰς ἐκκλησίας δείμασθαι, ὁ τῆς ἐπαρχίας ἄρχων δεινός τις ὢν καὶ πονηρὸς, καὶ οἷον αὐτὸν τὰ κατὰ τῶν μαρτύρων δρασθέντα συνέστησεν, ἐπιδημήσας αὐτόθι καὶ τὴν τῶν ἐκεῖσε διαγωγὴν πυθόμενος βασιλεῖ κοινοῦται, ὅσα δοκεῖν, εἰς διαβολὴν καταγράφων.
