Αἱ δὲ κατὰ τὴν ἀρχομένην ὑπὸ Κωνσταντίνου ἐκκλησίαι καταθυμίως ἔπραττον, καὶ ὁσημέραι ἐπεδίδουν, εὔνου καὶ ὁμόφρονος βασιλέως εὐεργεσιῶν ἀξιούμεναι: ταύτας δὲ καὶ ἄλλως πρὸ τούτου διωγμῶν καὶ ταραχῆς ἀπειράτους τὸ θεῖον ἐφύλαξε. Διωκομένων γὰρ τῶν ἀνὰ τὴν ἄλλην οἰκουμένην ἐκκλησιῶν, μόνος Κωνστάντιος ὁ Κωνσταντίνου πατὴρ, ἀδεῶς θρησκεύειν συνεχώρησε τοῖς Χριστιανοῖς. Ἀμέλει τοῖονδέ τι θαυμαστὸν καὶ συγγραφῆς ἄξιον ἔγνων εἰργάσθαι αὐτῷ.
