τοιαῦτα τῆς Μαξιμίνου μεγαλαυχίας καὶ τῶν κατὰ πόλεις καθʼ ἡμῶν ψηφισμάτων τἀπίχειρα ἦν, ὅτε καὶ τῆς Χριστιανῶν περὶ πάντα σπουδῆς τε καὶ εὐσεβείας πᾶσιν ἔθνεσιν διάδηλα κατέστη τὰ τεκμήρια.

Such were the rewards of Maximin's boasting and of the cities' resolutions against us, when the proofs of the Christians' zeal and piety in all things became plain to all the Gentiles.
