πρεσβεύων δὲ παρὰ Σεβῆρον ἐν Ῥώμῃ τὸν αὐτοκράτορα ἀπεδύσατο πρὸς Ἡρακλείδην τὸν σοφιστὴν τὸν ὑπὲρ μελέτης ἀγῶνα, καὶ ἀπῆλθεν ὁ μὲν τὴν ἀτέλειαν ἀφαιρεθείς, ὁ δὲ Ἀπολλώνιος δῶρα ἔχων. διαδόντος δὲ τοῦ Ἡρακλείδου λόγον οὐκ ἀληθῆ ὑπὲρ τοῦ Ἀπολλωνίου, ὡς αὐτίκα δὴ βαδιουμένου ἐς Λιβύην, ἡνίκα ἦν ὁ αὐτοκράτωρ ἐκεῖ καὶ τὰς ἐξ ἁπάσης γῆς ἀρετὰς συνῆγεν, καὶ πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰπόντος ὥρα σοι ἀναγιγνώσκειν τὸν πρὸς Λεπτίνην σοὶ μὲν οὖν, ἦ δʼ ὁ Ἀπολλώνιος, καὶ γὰρ δὴ καὶ ὑπὲρ τῆς ἀτελείας γέγραπται.
