οὕτως ὁ θεῖος Φλαβιανὸς τὴν δυσώδη διορύξας πηγὴν καὶ γυμνῶσαι παρασκευάσας τὰ θανατικὰ νάματα, πρὸς τὸν δύστηνον ἔφη πρεσβύτην· πεπαλαιωμένε ἡμερῶν κακῶν, ἐλέγξαι σε τὸ σὸν στόμα καὶ οὐκ ἐγώ· τὰ δὲ χείλη σου καταμαρτυρησαι σου«. δήλης δὲ ταύτης τῆς νόσου γεγενημένης, τῆς μὲν Συρίας ἐξηλάθησαν, εἰς δὲ τὴν Παμφυλίαν ἐχώρησαν καὶ ταύτην τῆς λώβης ἐνέπλησαν.
