τοῦτο δέ γε καὶ οὗτοι κἀκεῖνοι οἶόν τινα συνθήκην κοινὴν Εὐσεβίῳ τῷ Σαμοσάτων ἐπισκόπῳ φυλάττειν ἔδοσαν, ἀνδρὶ γενναίῳ τῆς ἀληθείας ἀγωνιστῇ. ἐπειδὴ δὲ βασιλικὴν δεξάμενος κλῆσιν ἧκεν ὁ μέγας Μελέτιος, ὑπήντησαν μὲν ἅπαντες οἱ τῆς ἀρχιερωσύνης μετειληχότες, ὑπήντησαν δὲ καὶ οἱ ἄλλοι τῆς ἐκκλησίας χοροὶ καὶ ἅπαν τὸ τῆς πόλεως πλῆθος· παρῆσαν δὲ καὶ Ἰουδαῖοι καὶ Ἕλληνες, τὸν πολυθρύλητον ἰδεῖν Μελέτιον ἱμειρομενοι.
