τὴν λαμπρότητα τῆς πανηγύρεως ἔβλαπτον. Κατ̓ ἀμφότερα τοίνυν ἀστασίαστον εἶναι τὴν ἐκκλησίαν ἐσπούδαζε: νομίσας τε δύνασθαι προκαταλαβεῖν τὸ κακὸν, πρὶν εἰς πλείους χωρῆσαι, πέμπει ἄνδρα τὸν ἀμφ̓ αὐτὸν πίστει καὶ βίῳ ἐπίσημον, καὶ ταῖς ὑπὲρ τοῦ δόγματος ὁμολογίαις ἐν τοῖς πρόσθεν χρόνοις εὐδοκιμηκότα, διαλλάξοντα τοὺς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ διὰ τὸ δόγμα στασιάζοντας, καὶ τοὺς πρὸς ἕω περὶ τὴν ἑορτὴν διαφερομένους: ἦν δὲ οὗτος Ὅσιος ὁ Κορδούβης ἐπίσκοπος.
