Translation
[Arian1] and I act like an Arianist and Arianists and suchlike terms [derive] from Arius the heresiarch. At the time of Constantine the Great2 he was ordained among the holy presbyters, but when he wanted to confound everything and had been condemned by the synod of 318 holy bishops in Nicaea,3 he perished by a strange and new sort of death. For when he was in the forum of the city and his stomach ailed him, he turned off towards the privy and he was drained of all the necessary things inside of him along with his excretions. And out of him also [comes the word] Areiophrones ["Arius-minded [people]"].4
