Greek text · Dindorf 4:481

διόπερ εἴ τινας τοιούτους ἀνθρώπους ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ μανίᾳ ἐπιμένειν κατίδοις, ἄνευ τινὸς ἀμφιβολίας τοῖς προειρημένοις δικασταῖς πρόσελθε, καὶ αὐτὸ τοῦτο προσανένεγκε, ὅπως αὐτοὺς ἐκεῖνοι, καθάπερ αὐτοῖς παροῦσιν ἐκέλευσα, ἐπιστρέψωσιν. ἡ θειότης τοῦ μεγάλου θεοῦ σε διαφυλάξοι ἐπὶ πολλοῖς ἔτεσιν.”

English · Claude translation

Wherefore, if you see any such persons persisting in this madness, go without any hesitation to the aforesaid judges and report this very matter to them, so that they may correct them, as I commanded them in person. May the divinity of the great God preserve you for many years.”
