Greek text · Dindorf 4:334

ἔμελλε δὲ καὶ νῦν ὁ Φιρμιλλιανὸς εἰς Ἀντιόχειαν διαβήσεσθαι, καὶ μέχρι γε Ταρσῶν ἧκεν, ἅτε τῆς ἀρνησιθέου κακίας αὐτοῦ πεῖραν εἰληφώς· ἀλλὰ γὰρ μεταξὺ “συνεληλυθότων ἡμῶν καὶ καλούντων καὶ ἀναμενόν- “των, ἄχρις ἂν ἔλθῃ, τέλος ἔσχε τοῦ βίου.’’

English · Claude translation

And Firmilian was now about to cross over to Antioch, and had come as far as Tarsus, having had experience of his God-denying wickedness; but while we were assembled and calling and waiting for him to come, he died.”
