Βάρσην δέ, οὗ καὶ νῦν πολὺ τὸ κλέος οὐκ ἐν Εδἐσσῃ μόνον >̓͂ν ἴθυνε καὶ ταῖς ταύτης πλησιοχώροις πόλεσιν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν Φοινίκῃ καὶ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ καὶ Ο-ηβαίδι (ταῦτα γὰρ πάντα διελήλυρε τὰ ἔθνη διὰ τὴν τῆς ἀρετῆς περιφερόμενος λαμπηδόνα), πρῶτον μὲν αὐτὸν ὁ βάλῃς Ἄραδον οἰκεῖν τὴν νῆσον προσέταξεν· ἐπειδὴ δὲ ἔγνω μυρία πάντοθεν πρὸς αὐτὸν συρρέοντα πλήθη (ἀποστολικῆς γὰρ χάριτος ἀνάπλεως ὢν λόγῳ τὰς νόσους ἐξήλαυνεν) εἰς ᾿Οξύρυγχον αὐτὸν ὁ τὴν Αἰγυπτίαν ἐξέπεμψε πόλιν.
