ἡμεῖς ουτε νέηλυν οὔτε πρόσφατον σέβοντες θεόν, κἂν ἐπαφρίξῃς κυ- μαίνων εἰκῆ καὶ προσρήσσῃς ὡς βίαιος ἄνεμος τοῖ, εὐσεβείας ἄχρι θανάτου ἐμπολιτευόμεθα δόγμασιν, οὐκ ἀδύναμον, οὐκ ἄσοφον, οὐ χωρὶς ἀληθείας πώποτε φρονήσαντες θεόν, οὐ ποτὲ μὲν ὄντα πατέρα, ποτὲ δὲ μὴ ὄντα, κατὰ τὸν δυσσεβῆ τοῦτον Ἀρειανόν, χρονικὸν ἢ πρόσκαιρον δοξάζοντες τὸν υἱόν.
