Τῷ τιμιωτάτῳ καὶ ἀγαπητῷ συλλειτουργῷ Φλακίλλῳ Εὐσέβιος ἐν κυρίῳ χαίρειν.

Εἰ πρὸς τὴν ἀδόλεσχον καὶ πολυεπῆ Μαρκέλλου γραφὴν τὰ παρ’ ἡμῶν ἐν βραχέσιν ἤρκεσεν, οὐ χρὴ θαυμάζειν· οὐ γὰρ δὴ πολλῶν ἔδει λόγων πρὸς ἀνατροπὴν τῶν αὐτόθεν καὶ τοῖς τυχοῦσιν κατεγνωσμένων. διὸ δὴ ἐν δυσὶ τοῖς πρώτοις μόνῃ τῇ παραθέσει τῶν τοῦ ἀνδρὸς ῥημάτων χρησάμενος δίχα πάσης ἀντιρρήσεως ἐξ αὐτῶν τὸν κατ’ αὐτῶν ἔλεγχον φανερὸν ἐποιούμην. νυνὶ δὲ πρὸς ἐκείνῃ τῇ φώρᾳ καὶ τὴν ἀνατροπὴν τῶν αὐτῶν διὰ τριῶν τῶν μετὰ χεῖρας προσήγαγον. ὁ μὲν γὰρ ἕν τι διωλύγιον καὶ πολυπλανὲς σύγγραμμα συντάξας τοῦτό φησιν πεποιηκέναι διὰ τὸ ἕνα γνωρίζειν θεόν, μή πη λάθῃ τῷ υἱῷ τοῦ θεοῦ χώραν διδοὺς ὑποστάσεως διελὼν τὴν γραφήν. ἡμεῖς δὲ τὴν παναγίαν καὶ τρισμακαρίαν τιμῶντες τριάδα ἐν τοσούτοις τὴν πᾶσαν ὑπόθεσιν συνειλήφαμεν, φεισάμενοι μὲν πολυλογίας, ἐν ἐπιτόμοις δὲ καὶ βραχέσιν τὴν ἀληθῆ παραστήσαντες θεολογίαν. εἰ μὲν οὖν αὐταρκῶς ἔχει τὰ γραφέντα, κρίνειας ἂν αὐτὸς ἐντυγχάνων· εἰ δέ τινα λείποι, καὶ ταῦτα 〈ἂν〉 ἀναπληρώσειας, δηλαδὴ [ἃ δὴ] ἀδελφὸς ἀδελφοῦ τὰ ὑστερήματα, εἴ που καὶ θεραπείας δέοιτο, δι’ ἐπανορθώσεως ἐξιώμενος.

Ἔρρωσθαί σε καὶ μνημονεύειν μου τῷ κυρίῳ διὰ παντὸς εὔχομαι.
