ἀντὶ αὐτῶν χειροτονεῖν ἑτέρους, Ἐπεὶ δὲ ταῦτα αὐτοῖς ἐβεβούλευτο καὶ εἰς ἔργον ἷκτο, γράφουσι τοῖς πανταχοῦ ἐπισκόποις καὶ κληρικοῖς, τάδε φυλάττειν καὶ ἐπιτελεῖν: ἐκ τούτου τε, οὐ πολλῷ ὕστερον ἀντικαθίστανται πρὸς τῶν ἀμφὶ τὸν Εὐδόξιον, ἄλλος ἄλλῳ: Μακεδονίῳ τε αὐτὸς Εὐδόξιος, καὶ Βασιλείῳ Ἀθανάσιος: καὶ Ἐλευσίῳ Εὐνόμιος, ὃς ἀρχηγὸς μετὰ ταῦτα ἐγένετο τῆς ἀπ̓ αὐτοῦ καλουμένης αἱρέσεως: ἀντὶ δὲ Εὐσταθίου, Μελέτιος τὴν ἐν Σεβαστείᾳ ἐκκλησίαν ἐπετράπη.
