Postea ut cogitati sceleris officina pateret aperte, honoratorum inducitur globus, vertices ipsos continens rerum. Cumque nihil praeter se quisque cernens, ruinam suam impelleret super alium, permisso quaesitorum coeptans dicere Theodorus, primo in precem venialem prostratus, dein artius respondere compulsus, ostendit se cognita per Euserium, ne ad imperatorem referret, ut conatus est aliquotiens, ab eo prohibitum, asserente, non appetitu regni occupandi illicito, sed ratione quadam indeclinabilis fati, id quod sperabatur ultro venturum.
