Εἰ δὲ ὁ γάμον παρανομούμενον ἐκδικήσας, τό γε εἰς αὐτὸν ἧκον—οὐδὲ γὰρ διώρθωσε τὸ κακῶς γεγενημένον, ἀλλ' εἶπε μόνον, παῦσαι δὲ οὐκ ἴσχυσεν—εἰ τοίνυν ὁ μόνον εἰπὼν καὶ μηδὲν οἴκοθεν ἢ τοῦτο εἰσενεγκών, ἐπειδὴ ἀπετμήθη, μάρτυς καὶ μαρτύρων ἐστὶ πρῶτος· οἱ τοσαύτας σφαγὰς ὑπομείναντες καὶ οὐχὶ πρὸς Ἡρώδην, ἀλλὰ πρὸς τοὺς κρατοῦντας τῆς οἰκουμένης ἁπάσης ἀποδυσάμενοι καὶ οὐχὶ γάμῳ παρανομουμένῳ, ἀλλὰ νόμοις πατρῷοις καὶ θεσμοῖς Ἐκκλησίας ἐπηρεασθεῖσι παραστάντες καὶ διὰ τῶν ῥημάτων καὶ διὰ τῶν πραγμάτων παρρησίαν ἐπιδειξάμενοι καὶ καθ' ἑκάστην ἡμέραν ἀποθνήσκοντες καὶ ἄνδρες καὶ γυναῖκες καὶ παῖδες, πῶς οὐκ ἂν εἶεν δίκαιοι μυριάκις εἰς τὸν τῶν μαρτύρων καταλεγῆναι χορόν.
