Ἐπὶ δὴ τοῖς τοσούτοις τῶν μεγαλοπρεπῶν Χριστοῦ μαρτύρων ἀνδραγαθήμασι λωφησάσης καὶ ὡσανεὶ τοῖς ἱεροῖς αὐτῶν αἵμασι τῆς τοῦ διωγμοῦ πυρκαιᾶς ἀποσβεννυμένης, ἀνέσεως τε ἤδη καὶ ἐλευθερίας τοῖς ἐπὶ Θηβαίδος εἰς τὰ αὐτόθι μέταλλα διὰ Χριστὸν καταπονουμένοις συγκεχωρημένης, μικρόν τε ἐκ καθαροῦ μελλόντων ἡμῶν ὑπαναπνεῖν ἀέρος, οὐκ οἶδ’ ὅπως ἔκ τινος ἀνακινήσεως πάλιν ἐξ ὑπαρχῆς ὁ τοῦ διώκειν τὴν ἐξουσίαν εἰληχὼς κατὰ Χριστιανῶν ἀνεκάετο.
