Greek text · Dindorf 4:444

ὁ δʼ ἐπὶ τούτοις ἔτι ἐμπνέων, ἀνθομολογούμενος τῷ κυρίῳ, θάνατον ἐπεκαλεῖτο, καὶ τὸ πανύστατον ἐνδίκως ταῦτα τῆς κατὰ τοῦ Χριστοῦ παροινίας χάριν ὁμολογήσας παθεῖν τὴν ψυχὴν ἀφίησιν.

English · Claude translation

Still breathing after this, he made confession to the Lord and called for death; and at the very last, having confessed that he suffered these things justly because of his violence against Christ, he gave up his soul.
