καὶ τῆς ἐλπίδος οὐκ ἐψεύσθη· τῇ γὰρ πνευματικῇ χρώμενος διδασκαλίᾳ μετέβαλε τοὺς λύκους εἰς πρόβατα. Ὁ δὲ μέγας Εὐσέβιος ἐκ τῆς ὑπερορίας ἐπανελθὼν Ἀκάκιον μέν, οὗ πολὺ τὸ κλέος ἐν Βεροίᾳ κεχειροτόνηκεν, ἐν Ἱεραπόλει δὲ θεόδοτον, οὑ τὴν ἀσκητικὴν πολιτείαν μέχρι καὶ τήμερον ᾄδουσιν ἅπαντες, Εὐσέβιον δὲ Χαλκίδος, Κύρου δὲ τῆς ἡμετέρας Ἰσίδωρον ἀξιαγάστω δὲ ἤστην ἄμφω κοὶ ζήλῳ θείῳ κεκοσμημένω.
