Ἀντωνίῳ δὲ ἀντεδήλωσε, μὴ οἷός τε εἶναι τῆς συνόδου ὑπεριδεῖν τὴν ψῆφον. Εἰ γὰρ καὶ ὀλίγοι, φησὶ, πρὸς ἀπέχθειαν ἢ χάριν ἐδίκασαν, οὐ δήπου πιθανὸν, τοσαύτην πληθὺν ἐλλογίμων καὶ ἀγαθῶν ἐπισκόπων τῆς ὁμοίας γενέσθαι γνώμης: τὸν γὰρ Ἀθανάσιον ὑβριστήν τε εἶναι καὶ ὑπερήφανον, καὶ διχονοίας καὶ στάσεως αἴτιον. Οἱ γὰρ ἐναντίως ἔχοντες πρὸς αὐτὸν, περὶ ταῦτα μάλιστα διέβαλλον αὐτὸν, καθότι ὁ βασιλεὺς τοὺς τοιούτους ὑπερφυῶς ἀπεστρέφετο.
