Quibus apertas probabilesque refutantibus causas, veritisque ne offenderetur Eusebius, cubiculi tunc praepositus, si documenta suscepissent perspicue demonstrantia, Sabiniani pertinaci ignavia haec accidisse, quae contigerunt, a veritate detorti, inania quaedam, longeque a negotio distantia, scrutabantur.
