>Ταύτῃ τῇ πίστει, θεοφιλέστατε Αὔγουστε, ἐπιμένειν ἀναγκαῖον >ὡς θείᾳ καὶ ἀποστολικῇ, καὶ μηδένα μετακινεῖν αὐτὴν πιθανολογίαις καὶ λογομαχίαις· ὅπερ ἐποίησαν ἐξ ἀρχῆς οἱ ᾿Αρειομανῖται, ἐξ οὐκ ὄντων τὸν υἱὸν τοῦ θεοῦ λέγοντες, καὶ ὅτι ἢν ποτε ὅτε οὐκ ἦν, >καὶ κτιστὸς καὶ ποιητὸς καὶ τρεπτός ἐστι. διὰ τοῦτο γάρ, καθὰ προείπαμεν, καὶ ἡ ἐν Νικαίᾳ σύνοδος ἀνεθεμάτισε τὴν τοιαύτην αἵρεσιν, τὴν δὲ τῆς ἀληθείας πίστιν ὡμολόγησεν.
