ὡς ἐπιτηδειότερος δὲ Δωρόθεος ἐκ τῆς παρὰ Σύροις Ἀντιοχείας ἐλθὼν, προΐστατο τῆς αἱρέσεως. Ἐν τούτῳ δὲ Θεοδοσίου εἰς Ἰταλίαν ἀφικομένου, φῆμαι περὶ τοῦ πολέμου πρὸς τὸ ἑκάστῳ δοκοῦν ἐκράτουν: παρὰ δὲ τοῖς Ἀρειανοῖς, ὡς πολλῶν ἐν τῇ μάχῃ πεσόντων ὑπὸ τὸν τύραννον ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐγένετο. Καὶ ὡς ἐπὶ γενομένοις ἤδη οἷς ἐλογοποίουν, ἐθάρρησαν: καὶ καταδραμόντες Νεκταρίου τοῦ ἐπισκόπου τὴν οἰκιαν ἐνέπρησαν, χαλεπαίνοντες, ὅτι τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν ἐκράτει.
