ἐν τῇ συνεχεῖ φυλακῇ μηδὲ ἁμαρτάνειν ὧν δεῖ, ἀλλ̓ ἐν σπουδαίοις εἶναι πράγμασιν. Ἐν δὲ τῷ τότε ἐπισήμω ἤστην καὶ Ζήνων καὶ Αἴας ἀδελφοί: οἳ δὴ τὸ πρὶν ἐφιλοσόφουν, οὐκ ἐν μοναγρίαις, ἀλλ̓ ἐν Γάζῃ πρὸς θάλασσαν, ὅπερ καὶ Μαϊουμᾶν ὀνομάζουσιν. Ἄμφω δὲ πιστοτάτω περὶ τὸ δόγμα ἐγενέσθην, καὶ Θεὸν ὡμολόγησαν ἀνδρείως: ὡς καὶ πολλάκις πρὸς τῶν Ἑλληνιστῶν αἰκισθῆναι χαλεπῶς ἄγαν καὶ ἀπηνῶς.
