Καὶ ὁ πατὴρ κατὰ τοῦ ἐδάφους ἐρρίπτετο, ἔτι ζῶντα τὸν παῖδα πενθῶν: ἀμηχανῶν δὲ καὶ πανταχόθεν σῶον αὐτὸν σπουδάζων ἔχειν, ἐπιτρέπει τοῖς οἰκείοις μετακαλέσασθαι Βασίλειον εἰς ἐπίσκεψιν τοῦ κειμένου: ἔναγχος γὰρ ὑβρισμένῳ ᾐδεῖτο αὐτὸς περὶ τούτου κελεύειν. Ἅμα δὲ παρῆν, καὶ ὁ παῖς ῥᾷον ἔσχεν, ὡς πολλοὺς τότε ἰσχυρίζεσθαι, ὡς οὐκ ἂν ἀπολώλει, εἰ μὴ καὶ ἑτεροδόξους ἅμα Βασιλείῳ συνεκάλεσεν,
