Greek testimony · printed p. 295
Ἐγὼ ἀφ’ οὗ ἔγνων ὅτι ἄδικα λαλεῖ περὶ τοῦ κυρίου μου, οὐ κοινωνῶ αὐτῷ οὔτε ἀναφέρω τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ· ἐκεῖνος γὰρ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐπίσκοπος.Editorial translation: Since I learned that he speaks wrongly about my Lord, I do not commune with him or commemorate his name; for he is not a bishop.
Reported speech in a saint's Life, not an independently collated transcript. The book itself notes a chronological error in the Life's account.
