Subscriptions and personal confessions
After the main letter, Eusebius, Asterius, Paulinus, and Carterius each add their own subscription or confession, with Paulinus and Carterius signing after the tome was sent from Alexandria.
Eusebius also subscribed to these things in Latin, and this is the translation: “I, Eusebius, bishop, with the precision that is yours, which was agreed upon by both parties as they composed it together concerning the persons, have also myself assented. Moreover, concerning the incarnation of our Savior, I have also given my assurance according to the style of the letter: that the Son of God also became man, taking up all things without sin, such as our old humanity was constituted. And since it is said abroad that the Sardican document, to avoid seeming to set forth anything beyond the faith at Nicaea, should be set aside, I also assent, that the Nicene faith not seem to be excluded by this, and that the document is not to be brought forward. I pray that you may be well in the Lord.”
I, Asterius, concur with what has been written above, and I pray that you may be well in the Lord.
And after this tome was sent from Alexandria, signed in this way by those mentioned above, after these things they themselves also subscribed: “I, Paulinus, think thus, as I received from the Fathers: the Father perfect, being and subsisting; the Son perfect, being and subsisting; and the Holy Spirit perfect, being and subsisting. Therefore I also accept the interpretation written above concerning the three persons and the one person, that is, being, and those who think thus. For it is pious to think and confess the Holy Trinity in one divinity. And concerning the incarnation of the Word of the Father that took place for our sake, I think thus, as it is written: according to John, the Word became flesh (John 1:14). Not according to the most impious ones who say that he underwent change, but that he became man for our sake, born of the holy Virgin Mary and the Holy Spirit. For the Savior did not have a body without soul, without feeling, or without mind. For it was not possible, when the Lord became man for our sake, that his body should be without mind. Therefore I condemn those who reject the faith confessed at Nicaea and do not say that the Son is from the being of the Father and same in being with the Father. I condemn those who say that the Holy Spirit is a creature made through the Son. And further I condemn Sabellius and Photinus and every heresy, standing with the faith of Nicaea and with all those written above. I pray that you may be well in the Lord. I, Carterius.”

Τούτοις καὶ Εὐσέβιος ὑπέγραψε Ῥωμαϊστὶ, ὧν ἡ ἑρμηνεία· Ἐγὼ Εὐσέβιος ἐπίσκοπος κατὰ τὴν ἀκρίβειαν ὑμῶν τὴν παρ' ἑκατέρων τῶν μερῶν ὁμολογηθεῖσαν ἀλλήλοις συντιθεμένων περὶ τῶν ὑποστάσεων, καὶ αὐτὸς συγκατεθέμην· οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ περὶ τῆς σαρκώσεως τοῦ Σωτῆρος ἡμῶν, ὅτι ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ Υἱὸς, καὶ ἄνθρωπος γέγονεν, ἀναλαβὼν πάντα ἄνευ ἁμαρτίας, οἷος ὁ παλαιὸς ἡμῶν ἄνθρωπος συνέστηκε, κατὰ τὸ τῆς ἐπιστολῆς ὕφος ἐπιστωσάμην. Καὶ ἐπειδὴ ἔξωθεν λέγεται τὸ τῆς Σαρδικῆς πιττάκιον ἕνεκεν τοῦ μὴ παρὰ τὴν ἐν Νικαίᾳ πίστιν δοκεῖν ἐκτίθεσθαι, καὶ ἐγὼ συγκατατίθεμαι, ἵνα μὴ ἡ ἐν Νικαίᾳ πίστις διὰ τούτου ἐκκλείεσθαι δόξῃ, μήτε εἶναι προκομιστέον. Ἐῤῥῶσθαι ὑμᾶς ἐν Κυρίῳ εὔχομαι. Ἐγὼ Ἀστέριος συνευδοκῶ τοῖς προγεγραμμένοις, καὶ ἐῤῥῶσθαι ὑμᾶς ἐν Κυρίῳ εὔχομαι. Καὶ μετὰ τὸ ἀποσταλῆναι ἀπὸ Ἀλεξανδρείας τὸν τόμον τοῦτον, οὕτω παρὰ τῶν προειρημένων ὑπογεγραμμένον, μετὰ ταῦτα καὶ αὐτοὶ ὑπέγραψαν· Ἐγὼ Παυλῖνος οὕτω φρονῶ, καθὼς παρέλαβον παρὰ τῶν Πατέρων, Ὄντα καὶ ὑφεστῶτα Πατέρα τέλειον καὶ ὑφεστῶτα Υἱὸν τέλειον, καὶ ὑφεστηκὸς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον τέλειον. Διὸ καὶ ἀποδέχομαι τὴν προγεγραμμένην ἑρμηνείαν περὶ τῶν τριῶν ὑποστάσεων, καὶ τῆς μιᾶς ὑποστάσεως, ἤτοι οὐσίας, καὶ τοὺς φρονοῦντας οὕτως. Εὐσεβὲς γάρ ἐστι φρονεῖν καὶ ὁμολογεῖν τὴν ἁγίαν Τριάδα ἐν μιᾷ θεότητι. Καὶ περὶ τῆς ἐνανθρωπήσεως δὲ τῆς δι' ἡμᾶς γενομένης τοῦ Λόγου τοῦ Πατρὸς οὕτω φρονῶ, καθὼς γέγραπται, ὅτι, κατὰ τὸν Ἰωάννην, ὁ Λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο· οὐ κατὰ τοὺς ἀσεβεστάτους τοὺς λέγοντας μεταβολὴν αὐτὸν πεπονθέναι, ἀλλ' ὅτι ἄνθρωπος δι' ἡμᾶς γέγονεν, ἐκ τῆς ἁγίας Παρθένου Μαρίας καὶ ἁγίου Πνεύματος γεννηθείς. Οὔτε γὰρ ἄψυχον, οὔτε ἀναίσθητον, οὔτε ἀνόητον σῶμα εἶχεν ὁ Σωτήρ· οὔτε γὰρ οἷόν τ' ἦν, τοῦ Κυρίου ἀνθρώπου δι' ἡμᾶς γενομένου, ἀνόητον εἶναι αὐτοῦ τὸ σῶμα. Ὅθεν ἀναθεματίζω τοὺς τὴν ἐν Νικαίᾳ ὁμολογηθεῖσαν πίστιν ἀθετοῦντας, καὶ μὴ λέγοντας ἐκ τῆς οὐσίας τοῦ Πατρὸς, καὶ ὁμοούσιον εἶναι τὸν Υἱὸν τῷ Πατρί. Ἀναθεματίζω δὲ τοὺς λέγοντας τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ ἅγιον κτίσμα δι' Υἱοῦ γεγονός. Ἔτι δὲ ἀναθεματίζω Σαβελλίου καὶ Φωτεινοῦ, καὶ πᾶσαν αἵρεσιν, στοιχῶν τῇ πίστει τῇ κατὰ Νίκαιαν, καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς προγεγραμμένοις. Ἐῤῥῶσθαι ὑμᾶς εὔχομαι ἐγὼ Καρτέριος.
