Ἔτι δὲ πρὸς ἅπασι καὶ τοῦτο δεόμεθα, ἵνα μηδὲν μήτε ἐλλείπῃ τῶν προϋπαρξάντων, μήτε πλεονάζῃ: ἀλλὰ πάντα ἄρρηκτα διαμένῃ, ἐκ τῆς τοῦ σοῦ πατρὸς εὐσεβείας καὶ εἰς τὸν νῦν χρόνον διαφυλαττόμενα: μήτε λοιπὸν ἡμᾶς μοχθεῖν, καὶ τῶν ἰδίων παροικήσεων ἀλλοτρίους ἐπιτρέψειας γενέσθαι: ἀλλ̓ ἵνα οἱ ἐπίσκοποι σὺν τῷ ἰδίῳ λαῷ μετ̓ εἰρήνης εἰς εὐχάς τε καὶ λατρείας σχολὴν ἄγοιεν, ἱκετεύοντες ὑπὲρ τῆς σῆς σωτηρίας καὶ βασιλείας καὶ εἰρήνης, ἣν ἡ θεότης σοὶ εἰς τὸ διηνεκὲς χαριεῖται.
