ἣν περὶ γυμνασίας νοῦ ἐπέγραψεν. Εἰς ἀτόπους δὲ διαλέξεις ἐμπεσὼν, ὡς ἐπυθόμην, οὐκ ἠξίωσεν ἐπὶ τῶν αὐτῶν μένειν τῷ διδασκάλῳ λόγων. Πολυπραγμονῶν δὲ, καὶ ἐκ τῶν κειμένων ταῖς ἱεραῖς γραφαῖς ὀνομάτων κατεσκεύαζεν, ὡς τὸ θεῖον προγίνωσκον τὸ μὴ ὂν, γίνωσκον δὲ τὸ ὂν, καὶ τοῦ γεγονότος μεμνημένον, οὐκ ἀεὶ ὡσαύτως ἔχει, πρός τε τὸ μέλλον, καὶ παρὸν, καὶ παρῳχηκὸς μεταβάλλον τὴν γνῶσιν. Ἐκ τοιούτων δὲ δογμάτων οὐδὲ τοῖς Εὐνομίου φορητὸς εἶναι δόξας, ἐκβληθεὶς τῆς αὐτῶν ἐκκλησίας τοὺς ἀπ̓ αὐτοῦ καλουμένους Θεοφρονιανοὺς ἐποίησεν.
