Ἀλλ̓ ὅμως ἰδίᾳ τὰ παῤ ἀλλήλων ἀναινόμενοι, ὑποκρίνεσθαι σφᾶς παρὰ γνώμην καὶ συμφωνεῖν ὑπέμενον ἐν τῇ κοινωνίᾳ τῆς ἔχθρας, ἕκαστοι προσδοκῶντες ῥᾳδίως κρατήσειν ὧν ἐβούλοντο. Τῷ δὲ χρόνῳ, ὡς εἰκὸς, ἐκ τῶν περὶ ταῦτα διαλέξεων, ἕξιν λαβόντες τῶν Ἀρείου δογμάτων, ὁμοίως περὶ Θεοῦ ἐδόξαζον. Ἐντεῦθέν τε πάλιν εἰς τὴν προτέραν ταραχὴν ἐπανῆλθε τὰ κατὰ τὸν Ἄρειον: καὶ λαοὶ καὶ κλῆροι, τῆς πρὸς ἀλλήλους ἀπεσχίζοντο κοινωνίας.
