οὗ νῦν ὁ μάρτυς κεῖται, δεδωκὼς ἀπ̓ αὐτοῦ τὴν προσηγορίαν τῷ τόπῳ. Φασὶ δὲ τότε ἄνδρας καὶ γυναῖκας, καὶ νέους καὶ παρθένους, γέροντάς τε καὶ παῖδας οἳ τὴν σορὸν εἷλκον, παρακελευομένους ἀλλήλοις, παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν ὁδὸν διατελέσαι ψάλλοντας: πρόφασιν μὲν τῇ ὠδῇ τοὺς ἱδρῶτας ἐπικουφίζοντας: τὸ δ̓ ἀληθὲς, ὑπὸ ζήλου καὶ προθυμίας κινουμένους, τῷ μὴ τὴν αὐτὴν γνώμην ἔχειν αὐτοῖς τὸν κρατοῦντα περὶ τὸ θεῖον.
