μόνοις δὲ πολέμιος ἢν τοῖς τὴν ἀποστολικὴν διδασκαλίαν πρεσβεύουσι. πρῶτον μὲν γὰρ αὐτοὺς τῶν ἱερῶν ἐξήλασεν οἴκων· αὐτοῖς γὰρ Ἰοβιανὸς ὁ πανεύφημος ἐδεδώκει καὶ τὴν νεόδμητον ἐκκλησίαν. ἐπειδὴ δὲ παρὰ τὴν τοῦ ὄρους συνιόντες κρηπῖδα ὕμνοις τε τὸν δεσπότην ἐγέραιρον καὶ τῶν θείων λογίων άπήλαυον, , τῶν ἐναντίων τοῦ ἀέρος ἀνεχόμενοι προσβολῶν γαῖ ποτὲ μὲν ὑετοῦ καὶ νιφετοῦ καὶ κρυμοῦ, ποτὲ δὲ σφοδροτάτου φλογμοῦ, οὐδὲ τῆς ἐπιπόνου ταύτης ὠφελείας αὐτοὺς μεταλαχεῖν συνεχώρησεν, ἀλλ’ ἀποστείλας στρατιώτας ἐσκέδασεν.
