Διασπωμένων δὲ, ὡς εἴρηται, τῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ἄλλων αἱρέσεων, ἔτι μᾶλλον ἐπεδίδου ἡ καθόλου ἐκκλησία, προστιθεμένων αὐτῇ πλείστων ἔκ τε τῆς πρὸς σφᾶς τῶν ἑτεροδόξων διχονοίας, καὶ μάλιστα τοῦ Ἑλληνικοῦ πλήθους. Ἐπεὶ γὰρ εἶδεν ὁ βασιλεὺς τὴν συνήθειαν τοῦ παρελθόντος χρόνου ἔτι πρὸς τὸ πατρῷον σέβας καὶ τοὺς θρησκευομένους παῤ αὐτῶν τόπους ἕλκουσαν τὸ ὑπήκοον, ἀρξάμενος βασιλεύειν ἐκώλυσε τούτων ἐπιβαίνειν.
