ὁ δὲ παιδαγωγός, ἐχέφρων καὶ αὐτὸς ὑπάρχων, καὶ εἰδὼς τὴν τοῦ παιδὸς συνετὴν καὶ τελείαν φρόνησιν, καὶ ὡς οὐκ ἂν αὐτῷ γένοιτο κινδύνου πρόξενος, πάντα αὐτῷ κατὰ μέρος διηγήσατο, τὸν κατὰ τῶν Χριστιανῶν τεθέντα παρὰ τοῦ βασιλέως διωγμὸν καὶ ἐξαιρέτως κατὰ τῶν ἀσκητῶν, ὅπως τε ἀπηλάθησαν καὶ ἐξεβλήθησαν τῆς περιχώρου ἐκείνης, οἷά τε γεννηθέντος (10) αὐτοῦ οἱ ἀστρολόγοι προηγόρευσαν.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 457b1-457c1
Paedagogus autem, ut qui etiam ipse prudens et cordatus esset, puerique sagacitatem ac numeris omnibus absolutam (457c,1) prudentiam exploratam haberet, neque sibi ab eo periculum ullum conflatum iri existimaret, omnia ei sigillatim exposuit, nempe et persecutionem adversus Christianos, ac potissimum adversus eos qui se pietati colendae totos devovissent promulgatam, et quemadmodum ab omnibus finitimis locis expulsi et ejecti fuissent, atque item ea quae ipso in lucem edito astrologi praedixissent.
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
The tutor, himself a prudent man, knowing how bright and mature was the boy’s wit and that he would not betray him, to his peril, discovered to him the whole matter the persecution of the Christians and especially of the anchorets decreed by the king, and how they were driven forth and banished from the country round about; also the prophecies of the astrologers at his birth.

H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 20,1-22,1
Men hans Opdrager svarede ham som en klog Mand; han frygtede, at dersom han löi for (22,1) ham, skulde Kongesönnen en Gang hevne sig paa ham, og sagde ham Sandheden derom, nemlig at hans Fader hadede de Christne og allermest Munke og Klostermænd, og gjorde dem fredlöse i hele sit Rige. Han meddelte ham ogsaa, hvad Stjernetyderen havde spaaet om ham selv, da han blev födt.
