μετασχεῖν αὐτοὺς τῆς συνόδον, καὶ τῇ κρίσει παρεῖναι. Ἤδη δὲ καὶ τῶν πλειόνων κατὰ τὴν ὁδοιπορίαν ὄντων, ἀγγέλλεται τὸ Νικομηδείας πάθος, καὶ ὅτι πᾶσαν ὁ Θεὸς κατέσεισεν. Ὡς ἐπὶ ἀπολομένῃ δὲ ἄρδην τῇ πόλει πανταχοῦ κρατοῦντος, ἐπέσχον οἱ καθ̓ ὁδὸν ἐπίσκοποι: ὡς γὰρ φιλεῖ ἡ φήμη ἐργάζεσθαι, οὐκ ἄχρι τῶν πεπονθότων τὰ δεινὰ τοῖς ἄπωθεν ἤγγελλεν. Ὑπεθρυλεῖτο δὲ Νίκαιάν τε καὶ Πέρινθον, καὶ τὰς πλησίον πόλεις, κοινωνῆσαι τῆς συμφορᾶς: προσέτι δὲ καὶ τὴν Κωνσταντινούπολιν.
