Greek text · Dindorf 4:332

πάντων οὖν κατὰ καιροὺς διαφόρως καὶ πολλάκις ἐπὶ ταὐτὸ συνιόντων, λόγοι καὶ ζητήσεις καθʼ ἑκάστην ἀνεκινοῦντο σύνοδον, τῶν μὲν ἀμφὶ τὸν Σαμοσατέα τὰ τῆς ἑτεροδοξίας ἐπικρύπτειν ἔτι καὶ παρακαλύπτεσθαι πειρωμένων, τῶν δὲ ἀπογυμνοῦν καὶ εἰς φανερὸν ἄγειν τὴν αἵρεσιν καὶ τὴν εἰς Χριστὸν βλασφημίαν αὐτοῦ διὰ σπουδῆς ποιουμένων.

English · Claude translation

All of them met at various times and often, and at each synod arguments and questions were raised, Paul of Samosata's party still trying to hide and conceal his heterodoxy, while the others were eager to strip bare and bring into the open his heresy and blasphemy against Christ.
