Ἔδει μὲν οὖν τοὺς τὰ Ἀρείου φρονοῦντας, εἰ καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις πατράσιν ἀντιλέγειν οὐκ ἐνόμιζον δυσσεβές, τούτῳ γοῦν πιστεύειν ὃν θαυμάζειν εἰώθασι, σύμφωνον γεγενῆσθαι τὴν ὁμολογίαν ἐκείνην διδάσκοντι ἐπειδὴ δὲ καὶ πρὸς τὰς τῶν οἰκείων πατέρων διαμάχονται δόξας ἐχρῆν τοῦ Ἀρείου τὴν αἰσχίστην μεμαθηκότας καὶ φρίκης γέμουσαν τελευτὴν φυγεῖν παντὶ σθένει τὴν ὑπ’ ἐκείνου τεχθεῖσαν ἀσέβειαν. ἐπειδὴ δὲ εἰκὸς μὴ πάντας εἰδέναι τοῦ θανάτου τὸν τρόπον ἐγὼ καὶ τοῦτον ὡς ἐγένετο διηγήσομαι.
