Ὁ μὲν δὴ Παῦλος ἀδοκήτως ὧδε τῆς ἐν Κωνσταντινουπόλει ἐκκλησίας ἀφῃρέθη. Ἀθανάσιος δὲ φεύγων, ἀφανὴς ἦν, δείσας τὴν Κωνσταντίου τοῦ βασιλέως ἀπειλήν: θανάτῳ γὰρ αὐτὸν ζημιοῦν ἠπείλησεν, αἰτιωμένων τῶν ἑτεροδόξων ὡς στάσεις ἐργάζοιτο, καὶ εἰσιόντος αὐτοῦ πολλοὶ τεθνήκασι: τὸ δὲ μάλιστα πρὸς ὀργὴν τὸν βασιλέα κινῆσαν ἦν, ὅτι καὶ σιτηρέσιον ἔλεγον αὐτὸν πωλοῦντα ἀποκερδαίνειν, ὃ δὴ βασιλεὺς Κωνσταντῖνος τοῖς ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ πτωχοῖς ἐδωρήσατο.
