Ὡς Γεωργίου ἀναιρεθέντος, Ἀθανάσιος κατελθὼν εἰς τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τῆς Ἀλεξανδρείας ἐγκρατὴς ἐγένετο. Οὐκ εἰς μακρὰν δὲ ἐκ τῆς φυγῆς κατελθόντα Ἀθανάσιον ἀσμένως ὁ τῶν Ἀλεξανδρέων λαὸς ἐδέξατο: ἐξώθησαν τότε ἐκ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν τοὺς τοῦ Ἀρειανοῦ δόγματος, παραδιδόασι δὲ Ἀθανασίῳ τοὺς εὐκτηρίους τόπους. Οἱ δὲ Ἀρειανίζοντες ἐν οἰκίσκοις ἀσήμοις συναγόμενοι εἰς τόπον Γεωργίου Λούκιον προχειρίζονται. Ἐν τοιαύτῃ μὲν δὴ καταστάσει τὰ κατὰ τὴν Ἀλεξάνδρειαν ἦν.
