Οὐχ ὑγιῶς δὲ ταύτην τὴν κρίσιν ἔχειν, καὶ πολλοῖς τῶν παρόντων ἱερέων κατεφαίνετο. Λέγεται οὖν Παφνούτιον τὸν ὁμολογητὴν τῇ συνόδῳ ταύτῃ παραγενόμενον, λαβόμενον τῆς χειρὸς, ἐξαναστῆσαι Μάξιμον τὸν Ἱεροσολύμων ἐπίσκοπον, ὡς οὐ δέον συλλόγου κοινωνεῖν πονηρῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὁμολογητὰς αὐτοὺς ὄντας, καὶ δἰ εὐσέβειαν τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς αὐτῶν κεκομμένους, καὶ τὰς ἀγκύλας πεπηρωμένους.
