οἱ μὲν τοὺς ταῦτ θεοῦ μάρτυρας αἰσχίσταις ὑπέβαλλον τιμωρίαις, ὁ δὲ αὐτοὺς μὲν τοὺς ταὺτα δεδρακότας μετῄει σωφρονίζων τῇ πρεπούσῃ τοῦ θεοῦ κολάσει, τῶν δ’ ἀγίων μαρτύρων τοῦ θεροῦ τὰς μνήμας τιμῶν οὐ διελίμπανεν. οἱ μὲν τῶν βασιλικῶν οἴκων ἤλαυνον τοὺς θεοσεβεῖς ἄνδρας, ὁ δ’ αὐτοῖς μάλιστα τούτοις διετέλει θαρρῶν, εὔνους αὐτῷ καὶ πιστοὺς ἁπάντων μᾶλλον τούτους εἶναι γινώσκων.
