Περὶ δὲ τοῦτον τὸν χρόνον εἰς τὸ φανερὸν ἐδίδασκεν Ἀέτιος ἣν εἶχε περὶ Θεοῦ δόξαν. Ἦν δὲ τότε διάκονος τῆς Ἀντιοχέων ἐκκλησίας, παρὰ Λεοντίου γενόμενος. Τὰ αὐτὰ δὲ Ἀρείῳ ἐδόξαζε, κτιστὸν, καὶ ἐξ οὐκ ὄντων, ἀνόμοιόν τε λέγων τῷ Πατρὶ τὸν Υἱόν. Ἐριστικὸς δέ τις εἰς ἄγαν ὢν, καὶ τολμηρὸς ἐν τοῖς περὶ Θεοῦ λόγοις, ἀσφαλῶς τε καὶ ποικίλως τοῖς συλλογισμοῖς χρώμενος, ἔδοξεν ἑτερόδοξος εἶναι οἷς ὁμοίως ἐφρόνει.
