Καὶ φαλλοὺς, καὶ εἴ τι ἕτερον ἐν τοῖς ἀδύτοις κεκρυμμένον κατεγέλαστον ἦν ἢ ἐφαίνετο, δημοσίᾳ ἦγεν εἰς ἐπίδειξεν. Πρὸς δὲ τὸ ἀληθὲς καὶ τὸ ἀδόκητον τοῦ συμβάντος καταπλαγέντες οἱ Ἕλληνες, ἠρεμεῖν οὐκ ἠνείχοντο: παρασκευασάμενοι δὲ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς κατέδραμον τοὺς Χριστιανούς. Καὶ τοὺς μὲν κτείναντες, τοὺς δὲ τραυματίας ποιήσαντες, καταλαμβάνουσι τὸ Σεράπιον: ναὸς δὲ οὗτος ἦν κάλλει καὶ μεγέθει ἐμφανέστατος, ἐπὶ γεωλόφου κείμενος.
