>τὰ γὰρ νῦν παρ’ ἐκείνων καινοτομούμενα τοῖς μὲν πιστεύσασιν >ἀπιστίαν ἐμποιεῖ, τοῖ, δὲ ἀπιστοῦσιν ὠμότητα. > Ἱκετεύομεν δὲ ἵνα κελεύσῃς τοὺς ἐν ἀλλοδαπαῖς διατρίβοντας, >οὓς καὶ τὸ τῆς ἡλικίας ἐπίπονον καὶ τὸ τῆς πενίας ἐνδεὲς τρύχει >τὴν εἰς τὰ οἰκεῖα ἀνακομιδὴν ῥᾳδίαν ποιήσασθαι, ἵνα μὴ ἔρημοι τῶν >ἐπισκόπων ἀφῃρημένων αἱ ἐκκλησίαι διαμένωσιν.
