Ἐπιτραπεὶς δὲ τοῦτο, σπουδῇ καταλαμβάνει τὴν Ἀντιόχειαν: καὶ περιποιεῖται ἑαυτῷ τὴν ἐνθάδε ἐπισκοπὴν, μήτε Γεωργίου τοῦ Λαοδικείας ἐπισκόπου, μήτε Μάρκου τοῦ Ἀρεθούσης, οἳ δὴ τότε τῶν ἐν Συρίᾳ ἐπισκόπων ἐπίσημοι ἦσαν, μήτε τῶν ἄλλων οἷς ἡ χειροτονία διέφερε, συνθεμένων. Λόγος δὲ ταῦτα τὸν αὐτὸν πραγματεύσασθαι κατὰ γνώμην τοῦ κρατοῦντος, τῶν ἐν τοῖς βασιλείοις εὐνούχων συμπραξάντων: οἳ ἅμα Εὐδοξίῳ τὸ Ἀετίου δόγμα ἐπῄνουν, καὶ ἀνόμοιον εἶναι τῷ Πατρὶ τὸν Υἱὸν ἐδόξαζον.
