Translation:
Bishop of Synada.[1] Eusebius [the spiritual son] of Pamphilus[2] gives him great praise and mentions his amazing miracles: his shifting of boundaries and rivers and raisings of the dead. He also relates that when he was a soldier Maximinus[3] wanted to kill him for being a Christian, since he had learned that many were extremely impressed by the things he had accomplished.
Greek Original:
Ἀγαπητός: ἐπίσκοπος Συνάδων, ὃν ἐν ἐπαίνῳ πολλῷ τίθεται Εὐσέβιος ὁ Παμφίλου καὶ θαυμάτων αὐτοῦ ἐξαισίων μνήμην ποιεῖται, ὁρῶν μεταστάσεις καὶ ποταμῶν καὶ νεκρῶν ἐγέρσεις. καὶ ὅτι στρατιώτην ὄντα ἠβουλήθη Μαξιμῖνος ὡς Χριστιανὸν ἀποκτεῖναι, διὰ τὸ πυνθάνεσθαι πολλοὺς τὰ πρὸς αὐτοῦ τελούμενα ὑπεραγαμένους.
