καθίστατο βασιλεύς. Ἐν τούτῳ δὲ, καίπερ παρὰ τὸ εἰωθὸς χαλάζης ἐμφεροῦς λίθοις ἐν πολλοῖς τόποις καταρραγείσης, καὶ μεγίστων σεισμῶν ἄλλαις τε πόλεσι, καὶ Νικαίᾳ τῇ Βιθυνῶν εἰς ἄγαν λυμῃναμένων, οὐκ ἐπαύσαντο Οὐάλης τε ὁ βασιλεὺς καὶ Εὐδόξιος ὁ ἐπίσκοπος, τοὺς ἑτέρως αὐτοῖς δοξάζοντας Χριστιανοὺς ἐκδιώκοντες. Καὶ πρὸς μὲν τοὺς ὁμοδόξους τοῖς ἐν Νικαίᾳ συνελθοῦσιν, ἐδόκει πως αὐτοῖς κατωρθῶσθαι τὸ σπουδαζόμενον. Ἐν γὰρ τῷ πλείονι τῆς ὑπὸ Οὐάλεντος ἀρχομένης, καὶ μάλιστα ἀνά τε Θρᾴκην καὶ Βιθυνίαν καὶ Ἑλλήσποντον, καὶ ἔτι τούτων προσωτέρω, οὔτε ἐκκλησίας, οὔτε ἱερέας εἶχον.
