ὑπηγόρευεν. ὥστε ἀμέλει καὶ τὸν τοῦ βασιλέως θεῖον Εὐχέριον, αἰτοῦντά τι παρὰ τὸ προσῆκον, ἀποσεισάμενος εἰς τοσοῦτον ἐκίνησεν ὥστε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα διαβαλεῖν. ἐπεὶ δὲ ὁ βασιλεὺς αἴτιον εἶπεν εἶναι Ῥουφῖνον ἀνδρὶ τοιούτῳ τοσαύτην ἀρχὴν δεδωκότα, λαβὼν πρόφασιν ὁ Ῥουφῖνος, καὶ ἐφ̓ οἷς ἐμέμψατο βασιλεὺς δῆθεν ἀγανακτῶν, οὐδενὶ τὴν γνώμην ἣν εἶχεν ἐκφήνας, ἅμα σφόδρα ὀλίγοις ἐπὶ τὴν Ἀντιόχειαν ἵεται, νυκτός τε βαθείας ἐπιδημήσας τῇ πόλει τὸν Λουκιανὸν συναρπάσας εἰς εὐθύνας ἄγει, κατηγοροῦντος παντάπασιν οὐδενός.
