ἰσοτιμίαν γοῦν ἅπασιν ἐπηλύταις διδοὺς καὶ χαρισάμενος ὅσα καὶ τοῖς αὐτόχθοσι παραινεῖ τοῖς εὐπατρίδαις, μὴ μόνον αὐτοὺς τιμαῖς γεραίρειν ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐξαιρέτῳ φιλίᾳ καὶ εὐνοίᾳ περιττῇ. καὶ μήποτ’ εἰκότως· „ἀπολελοιπότες“ φησί „πατρίδα καὶ φίλους καὶ συγγενεῖς δι’ ἀρετὴν καὶ ὁσιότητα μὴ ἀμοιρείτωσαν ἑτέρων πόλεων καὶ οἰκείων καὶ φίλων, ἀλλ’ ἔστωσαν ἔφεδροι καταφυγαὶ τοῖς πρὸς εὐσέβειαν αὐτομολοῦσι· φίλτρον γὰρ ἀνυσιμώτατον καὶ δεσμὸς ἄλυτος εὐνοίας ἑνωτικῆς ἡ τοῦ ἑνὸς θεοῦ τιμή“.
