Τῶν γὰρ τῆς πίστεως προμάχων ἐξελαθέντων, νομίσαντες οἱ Τὴν βασιλέως γνώμην μετατιθέντες εἰς ἅπερ ἐβούλοντο, εὐπετῶς μάλα καταλύσειν τὴν ἀντίπαλον αὐτοῖς πίστιν καὶ τὴν Ἀρείου βεβαιώσειν διδασκαλίαν, ἔπεισαν τὸν Κωνστάντιον εἰς τὴν Ἀρίμηνον καὶ τοὺς τῆς Ἑῴας καὶ τοὺς Ἑσπέρας συναγαγεῖν ἐπισκόπους, καὶ προστάξαι τὴν οὐσίαν καὶ τὸ ὁμοούσιον περιελεῖν ἐκ τῆς πίστεως, τὰ κατὰ τῆς Ἀρείου κακοτεχνίας ἐξευρεθέντα παρὰ τῶν πατέρων μηχανήματα·
