Λογισάμενοι δὲ οἱ καθελόντες Εὐστάθιον, οἳ δὴ τούτου χάριν εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν συνηγμένοι ἐτύγχανον, ὡς εἰ τῶν ὁμοδόξων αὐτοῖς προστήσαιντό τινα τῆς ἐνθάδε ἐκκλησίας βασιλεῖ γνώριμον, καὶ ἐπὶ λόγων ἐπιστήμῃ εὐδόκιμον, ῥᾳδίως ἕξουσι πειθομένους τοὺς ἄλλους, εὖ ἔχειν ἐνόμισαν ἐπιτρέψαι τὸν Ἀντιοχέων θρόνον Εὐσεβίῳ τῷ Παμφίλου. Καὶ γράφουσι περὶ τούτου τῷ βασιλεῖ, δηλώσαντες καὶ τῷ λαῷ ὑπερφυῶς τοῦτο κεχαρισμένον εἶναι. Ὧδε γὰρ ἐξῄτησαν καὶ ὅσοι τοῦ κλήρου καὶ τοῦ πλήθους ἀπεχθῶς εἶχον πρὸς Εὐστάθιον.
