αὐτίκα γοῦν ὡς ἐδόκει μάλιστα κατὰ μέσου πελάγους ἐν ἀπείροις βυθοῖς τὸν ἱερὸν ὄντως ἐκεῖνον καὶ τρισμακάριον ἐμβαλεῖν, κλόνος ἀθρόως οὐχ ὁ τυχὼν καὶ βρασμὸς αὐτήν τε τὴν θάλασσαν καὶ τὸ περιέχον ἅπαν διαχεῖ, ὡς καὶ τὴν γῆν καὶ τὴν πόλιν ἅπασαν πρὸς τοῦ γενομένου σεισθῆναι. ἅμα δὲ τῷ παραδόξῳ τούτῳ καὶ ἀθρόῳ σεισμῷ τοῦ θείου μάρτυρος τὸν νεκρὸν ἡ θάλαττα, ὥσπερ μὴ οἵα τε οὖσα φέρειν αὐτὸν, πρὸ τῶν τῆς πόλεως ἐκβράσσει πυλῶν. καὶ τοιαῦτα μὲν ἦν τὰ κατὰ τὸν θεσπέσιον Ἀπφιανὸν, Ξανθικοῦ μηνὸς δευτέρᾳ, ἥτις ἂν εἴη πρὸ τεσσάρων Νώνων Ἀπριλλίων, ἡμέρᾳ παρασκευῆς τελειωθέντα.
