Πουπλία τις ἦν κατ’ ἐκεῖνον τὸν χρόνον ὀνομαστοτάτη καὶ πολυθρύλητος ἐκ τῶν τῆς ἀρετῆς κατορθωμάτων γεγενημένη. αὕτη καὶ τοῦ γάμου τὸν ζυγὸν πρὸς ὀλίγον δεξαμένη καιρόν, καρπὸν ἀξιάγαστον τῷ θεῶ προσενήνοχεν. Ἰωάννης γάρ, ὁ τῶν ἐν Ἀντιοχείᾳ πρεσβυτέρων ἐπὶ πλεῖστον ἡγησάμενος χρόνον καὶ πολλάκις μὲν τῆς πρεσβυτέρων προεδρίας τὰς ψήφους δεξάμενος, ἀεὶ δὲ τήνδε τὴν ἡγεμονίαν φυγών, ἐξ ἐκείνης τῆς θαυμασίας ἀρούρας ἐβλάστησεν.
