Greek text · Dindorf 4:340

τούτου μετρίως τὰς γραφὰς ἐπὶ τῆς ἐκκλησίας διηγουμένου κατηκούσαμεν. μετὰ δὲ Κύριλλον Τύραννος τῆς Ἀντιοχέων παροικίας τὴν ἐπισκοπὴν διεδέξατο, καθʼ ὃν ἤκμασεν ἡ τῶν ἐκκλησιῶν πολιορκία.

English · Claude translation

We heard him expounding the Scriptures in the church with moderation. After Cyril, Tyrannus succeeded to the episcopate of the community of Antioch, in whose time the siege of the churches reached its height.
