Ἐπεὶ δὲ τοῦτο δῆλον ἐγένετο, οὐ ταὐτὰ πάντες ἐνόμιζον περὶ τῆς αὐτοῦ τελευτῆς. Ἐδόκει δὲ τοῖς μὲν, ἀθρόᾳ νόσῳ ληφθεὶς περὶ τὴν καρδίαν, ἢ πάρεσιν ὑπομείνας ὑφ̓ ἡδονῆς τῶν κατὰ γνώμην ἀπαντησάντων πραγμάτων, αὐθωρὸν τεθνάναι: τοῖς δὲ, ὡς δυσσεβήσας δεδωκέναι δίκην. Οἱ δὲ τὰ αὐτοῦ φρονοῦντες, γοητείαις ἐλογοποίουν ἀνῃρῆσθαι τὸν ἄνδρα. Οὐκ ἄτοπον δὲ τὰ περὶ αὐτοῦ εἰρημένα Ἀθανασίῳ τῷ ἐπισκόπῳ Ἀλεξανδρείας εἰς μέσον ἀγαγεῖν: ἔχει δὲ ὧδε.
