Ἐπεὶ δὲ ταῦτα ἔπραξαν, καθαιροῦσιν Ἀέτιον τῆς διακονίας, ὡς ἐριστικῶς, καὶ πρὸς ἔνδειξιν σοφίας ἐκκλησιαστικῆς προαιρέσεως ἀπᾳδούσης, συγγράφοντά τε καὶ τὰς διαλέξεις δυσφήμως ποιούμενον, ταραχῆς τε καὶ στάσεων ταῖς ἐκκλησίαις αἴτιον. Λέγεται δὲ πρός τινων, ὡς οὐκ ἀπὸ γνώμης τοῦτον καθεῖλον, ἀλλ̓ ἀφοσιούμενοι καὶ ταῖς περὶ αὐτῶν δόξαις πρὸς βασιλέα: διεβάλλοντο γὰρ τὰ αὐτοῦ φρονεῖν. Ἀποχρησάμενοι δὲ τῇ ὀργῇ βασιλέως, ἣν κατὰ Μακεδονίου εἶχεν ἐκ τῶν πρόσθεν εἰρημένων, καθαιροῦσιν αὐτόν: καὶ Ἐλεύσιον τὸν Κυζίκου ἐπίσκοπον, καὶ Βασίλειον τὸν Ἀγκύρας, καὶ Ἑορτάσιον τὸν Σάρδεων, καὶ Δρακόντιον τὸν Περγάμου.
