αὐτὸν, ἐζηλοτύπησεν. Ἀληθῆ δὲ ταῦτα πεισθεῖσα Κωνσταντία, ἐν ᾧ μὲν περιῆν, οὐδὲν ἔφθασε νεωτερίσαι τῶν ἐν Νικαίᾳ δοξάντων: ἐπεὶ δὲ νόσῳ περιέπεσε, καθυφωρᾶτο τελευτᾷν: καὶ παραγενόμενον ὡς αὐτὴν τὸν ἀδελφὸν, ἐκέλευσε τελευταίαν αὐτῇ δοῦναι χάριν, ἣν ἂν αἰτήσειεν. Ἐδεῖτο δὲ οἰκεῖον ἔχειν τὸν εἰρημένον πρεσβύτερον, καὶ ὡς ὀρθῶς δοξάζοντι περὶ τὸ θεῖον, πείθεσθαι: Ἑαυτὴν μὲν γὰρ, ἔφη, οἴχεσθαι, καὶ λοιπὸν τῆς ἐνταῦθα βιοτῆς μηδὲν φροντίζειν: περὶ δὲ αὐτοῦ ὀρρωδεῖν, μήτι πάθοι ὑπὸ θεομηνίας, ἢ αὐτὸς κακῶς πράξας, ἢ τὴν ἡγεμονίαν αἰσχρῶς ἀποβαλών: ἐπεὶ δικαίους, ἔφη, καὶ ἀγαθοὺς ἄνδρας ἀδίκως πεισθεὶς τισὶν ἀϊδίῳ φυγῇ ἐζημίωσεν.
