ἤδη δὲ καὶ βασιλικῶν θησαυρῶν παρεῖχε τὴν ἐξουσίαν, ὡς χρῆσθαι κτὰ προαίρεσιν καὶ διοικεῖν κατὰ γνώμην, ὅπως ἂν ἐθέλοι καὶ ὡς ἂν εὖ ἔχειν αὐτῇ νομίζοιτο ἕκαστα, τοῦ παιδὸς αὐτὴν κἀν τούτοις διαπρεπῆ καὶ ἀξιοζήλωτον πεποιημένου. διὸ τῶν εἰς αὐτοῦ μνήμην ἀναφερομένων καὶ ταῦτα εἰκότως ἡμῖν ἀνείληπται, ἃ δι’ εὐσεβείας ὑπερβολὴν μητέρα τιμῶν θεσμοὺς ἀπεπλήρου θείους ἀμφὶ γονέων τιμῆς τὰ πρόποντα διαταττομένους.
