Ὁ δὲ θεῖος Μελέτιος Διόδωρον ἐκεῖνον οὑ καὶ πρόσθεν ἐμνήσθην, τὸν ἐν τῷ παγχαλέπῳ κλύδωνι ἀβάπτιστον τὸ τῆς ἐκκλησίας διασώσαντα σκάφος Ταρσῶν κατέστησε ποιμένα καὶ τὸ Κιλίκων αὐτῶ ἐνεχείρισεν ἔθνος. ’Απαμείας δὲ τὴν ἀρχιερατικὴν ἐπιμέλειαν Ἰωάννῃ πεπίοτευκεν, ὃς εἶχε μὲν καὶ τοῦ γένους τὴν περιφάνειαν, κατορθώμασι δὲ μᾶλλον οἰκείοις ἢ προγονικοῖς ἐλαμπρύνετο· κατὰ ταὐτὸν γὰρ αὐτὸν καὶ λόγος ἐκόσμει καὶ βίος.
