τὴν θρησκείαν. Κατ̓ ἐκεῖνο καιροῦ Ἰουλιανὸς ἀμφὶ τὴν Ἔδεσαν ἐφιλοσόφει, ἀκριβεστάτῃ καὶ οἷα ἀσωμάτῳ ἀγωγῇ καὶ πολιτείᾳ ἐπιχειρήσας, ὡς ἐκτὸς σαρκῶν ὀστέοις καὶ δέρματι δοκεῖν συνεστάναι: καὶ Ἐφραὶμ τῷ Σύρῳ συγγραφεῖ πρόφασις γενέσθαι πραγματείας τῆς κατὰ τὸν αὐτοῦ βίον ἀφηγήσεως. Ἐπεψηφίζετο δὲ Θεὸς αὐτὸς οἷς ἄνθρωποι περὶ αὐτοῦ ἐδόξαζον, δαίμονας ἀπελαύνειν καὶ παντοδαπῶν νόσων ἰάσεις αὐτῷ δωρησάμενος, οὐ φαρμάκοις τισὶν ἀλλ̓ εὐχῇ κατορθουμένας.
