Οὐκ ἀθεεὶ δὲ ταῦτα συνέβαινεν: ἐπεὶ καὶ βασιλεὺς ἀμύητον αὐτὸν εἶναι μαθὼν, ἐπὶ τῆς αὐτῆς ἔμεινε γνώμης, πολλῶν ἱερέων ἀντιτεινόντων. Ἐπεὶ δὲ πάντες εἶξαν, καὶ τῇ ψήφῳ τοῦ κρατοῦντος συνέβησαν, ἐμυήθη. Καὶ τὴν μυστικὴν ἐσθῆτα ἔτι ἠμφιεσμένος, κοινῇ ψήφῳ τῆς συνόδου ἀναγορεύεται Κωνσταντινουπόλεως ἐπίσκοπος.
