πᾶσι γὰρ τοῖς ὑπὸ τὴν Ῥωμαίων τελοῦσιν ἡγεμονίαν ἐπέστειλε δήμοις, τῆς μὲν προτέρας αὐτοὺς ἐξαπάτης ἀπαλλαγῆναι παρεγγυῶν τὴν δὲ τοῦ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν μεταμαθεῖν διδασκαλίαν προτρέπων καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτην ἅπαντας τὴν ἀλήθειαν ξεναγῶν·. τοὺς δέ γε κατὰ πόλιν ἐπισκόπους ἐπὶ τὰς τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν οἰκοδομίας διήγειρεν, οὐ γράμμασι μόνοις ἐπὶ τοῦτο προτρέπων, ἀλλὰ καὶ χρήματα φιλοτίμως δωρούμενος καὶ τὰ τῆς οἰκοδομίας δαπανήματα χορηγῶν. δηλοῖ δὲ καὶ τὰ γραφέντα. τοῦτον ἔχοντα τὸν τρόπον·
