Πρόφασις δὲ γέγονε Μαρκέλλῳ ταύτης τῆς γραφῆς, Ἀστέριός τε ἐκ Καππαδοκίας σοφιστὴς, ὃς καὶ περὶ τοῦ δόγματος λόγους συγγράφων τῇ Ἀρείου δόξῃ συμφερομένους, περιϊὼν τὰς πόλεις ἐπεδείκνυτο, καὶ τοῖς ἐπισκόποις καὶ ταῖς γινομέναις συνόδοις ὡς ἐπίπαν παρεγίνετο. Ἀντιλέγων γὰρ αὐτῷ Μάρκελλος, ἢ ἑκὼν, ἢ οὐχ οὕτω νοήσας, εἰς τὴν Παύλου τοῦ Σαμοσατέως ἐξεκυλίσθη δόξαν. Ἀλλ̓ ὁ μὲν τῇ ἐν Σαρδοῖ συνόδῳ ὕστερον τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν ἀνείληφε, μὴ φρονεῖν ὧδε λογισάμενος.
