οὐ καλῶς ἔχειν ὑπέλαβε σύνοδον ποιεῖν. Ὁ δὲ Βασίλειος ἰδίας ἐπιστολῆς προτάξας τὰ βασιλέως γράμματα, τοῖς κατὰ ἔθνος ἐπισκόποις ἐδήλωσε σπουδῇ διασκέψασθαι, καὶ τὸν ἀρέσοντα τόπον ἐν τάχει δηλῶσαι. Οἷα δὲ φιλεῖ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις, οὐ τὸν αὐτὸν τόπον ἐπιλεξαμένων πάντων, παραγίνεται πρὸς βασιλέα Βασίλειος: διέτριβε δὲ τότε ἐν Σιρμίῳ. Καὶ καταλαμβάνει ἐνθάδε ἄλλους τέ τινας ἐπισκόπους κατ̓ ἰδίας χρείας, καὶ Μάρκον τὸν Ἀρεθούσιον, καὶ Γεώργιον τὸν ἐπιτραπέντα προστατεῖν τῆς Ἀλεξανδρέων ἐκκλησίας.
