Οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ἴσον ὀλέθρου τοιούτου καὶ ἀπωλείας ψυχῆς προτεινομένης καταδέξασθαι παθεῖν τι καὶ μὴ παραπολέσθαι καὶ ὑπὲρ ἐλάττονος κατορθώματος τὴν αὐτὴν ταύτην ὑπομεῖναι τιμωρίαν. Ὅτι δὲ οὐχ οἱ σφαγέντες μόνον, ἀλλὰ καὶ οἱ παρεσκευασμένοι καὶ γενόμενοι πρὸς τοῦτο ἕτοιμοι, μαρτυρίου στέφανον ἀνεδήσαντο, τοῦτό τε αὐτὸ καὶ ὃ πρότερον εἴρηκα ὅτι ὁ ὑπὲρ ἐλαττόνων σφαγεὶς μάρτυς ἐστὶν ἀπηρτισμένος, ἀπὸ τῆς Παύλου φωνῆς ἀποδεῖξαι τοῦτο πειράσομαι.
