Τὸν δὲ τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἀνδριάντα, τότε μὲν οἱ Ἑλληνισταὶ σύροντες κατέαξαν: μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα οἱ Χριστιανοὶ συλλέξαντες, ἐν τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ ἀπέθεντο, ἔνθα καὶ νῦν φυλάττεται. Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς βάσεως ἐφ̓ ᾗ ἵστατο ὁ ἀνδριὰς οὗτος, ὡς ἱστορεῖ Εὐσέβιος, παντοίων παθῶν καὶ νοσημάτων ἀλεξίκακον φάρμακον βοτάνη τις ἔφυεν, ἧς τὸ εἶδος οὐδεὶς ἔγνω τῶν ἐν τῇ καθ̓ ἡμᾶς ἰατρῶν ἢ ἐμπείρων.
