Μέχρι δὲ γραμμάτων μόνον ἐμέμψατο, καὶ τὴν τιμωρίαν συνεχώρησεν: αἰδοῖ, φησὶ, τῇ πρὸς Σάραπιν τὸν αὐτῶν πολιοῦχον, καὶ Ἀλέξανδρον τὸν οἰκιστὴν, καὶ Ἰουλιανὸν τὸν αὐτοῦ θεῖον, ὃς πρὸ τούτου Αἰγύπτου καὶ τῆς Ἀλεξανδρείας αὐτῆς ἦρξεν: ἀνὴρ ἐς τὰ μάλιστα Ἑλληνισμῷ χαίρων, καὶ τοὺς Χριστιανοὺς ὑπερφυῶς μισῶν, ὡς τό γε κατ̓ αὐτὸν, ὑπεναντίον τῆς τοῦ κρατοῦντος γνώμης, καὶ μέχρις αἵματος κακῶς παθεῖν τοὺς Χριστιανούς.
