εἰ μὲν συνόδους ἐπισκόπων μηδαμῆ μηδαμῶς τολμᾶν προςέταττον ποιεῖσθαι, ὁ δὲ τοὺς ἐξ ἁπάντων τῶν ἐθνῶν παρ’ ἑαυτῷ συνεκρότει, βασιλείων τ’ εἴσω παρεῖναι καὶ μέχρι τῶν ἐνδοτάτω χωρεῖν ἑστίας τε καὶ τραπέζης βασιλικῆς κοινωνοὺς γενέσθαι ἡξέιου. οἱ μὲν ἐτίμων ἀναθήμασι τοὺς δαίμονας, ὀ δὲ ἀπεγύμνου τὴν πλάνην, τὴν ἄχρηστον τῶν ἀναθημάτων ὕλην τοῖς χρῆσθαι δυνατοῖς διηνεκῶς νέμων. οἱ μὲν τοὺς νεὼς φιλοτίμως κοσμεῖν ἐκέλευον, ὁ δὲ ἐκ βάιρωμ λαιῄρει τούτων αὐτῶν τὰ μάλιστα παρὰ τοῖς δεισιδαίμοσι πολλοῦ ἄξια.
