Εὐσέβιον δὲ καὶ Θεόγνιον, φεύγειν προσέταξεν ἃς ἐπεσκόπουν πόλεις: τῇ δὲ Νικομηδέων ἐκκλησίᾳ ἔγραψεν, ἔχεσθαι τῆς πίστεως ἣν ἡ σύνοδος παρέδωκεν: ὀρθοδόξους δὲ προβάλλεσθαι ἐπισκόπους, καὶ τούτοις πείθεσθαι: τῶν δὲ λήθῃ παραδοῦναι τὴν μνήμην. Τοὺς δὲ ἐπαινεῖν, ἢ τὰ αὐτῶν φρονεῖν ἐπιχειροῦντας, ἠπείλησε τιμωρεῖσθαι. Ἐν τούτοις δὲ τοῖς γράμμασι, καὶ ἄλλως ἀπεχθάνεσθαι πρὸς Εὐσέβιον ἐδήλου, ὡς πρότερον ἤδη τὰ τοῦ τυράννου φρονήσαντα, καὶ αὐτῷ ἐπιβουλεύσαντα. Κατὰ ταῦτα μὲν οὖν τὰ τοῦ βασιλέως γράμματα, ἀφῃρέθησαν ὧν εἶχον ἐκκλησιῶν Εὐσέβιός τε καὶ Θεόγνιος. Παραλαμβάνει δὲ τὴν Νικομηδέων Ἀμφίων, Χρῆστος δὲ τὴν Νίκαιας.
