English · Claude translation

And finally the leader and introducer of this teaching, named Coracion, in the hearing of all the brothers present, confessed and testified to us that he would no longer hold to it, nor discuss it, nor mention it, nor teach it, being sufficiently convinced by the arguments against it. And of the other brothers, those present rejoiced at the conference and at the conciliation and agreement reached with all.”
