Greek text · Dindorf 4:224

καὶ πάλιν φησὶν ὡς ἄρα Ζωτικὸς, οὗ καὶ ὁ πρότερος συγγραφεὺς ἐμνημόνευσεν, ἐν Πεπούζοις προφητεύειν δὴ προσποιουμένης τῆς Μαξιμίλλης ἐπιστὰς διελέγξαι τὸ ἐνεργοῦν ἐν αὐτῇ πνεῦμα πεπείραται, ἐκωλύθη γε μὴν πρὸς τῶν τὰ ἐκείνης φρονούντων. καὶ Θρασέα δέ τινος τῶν τότε μαρτύρων μνημονεύει.

English · Claude translation

And he says again that Zoticus, whom the earlier writer also mentioned, when Maximilla was pretending to prophesy at Pepuza, stood by and tried to refute the spirit working in her, but was prevented by those who held her views. He also mentions a certain Thraseas among the martyrs of that time.
