Regarding the final document that was drafted in Nicaea under Constantine’s auspices, Istoria tou Ellinikou Ethnous (History of the Greek Nation) observes: “It shows [Constantine’s] indifference to doctrinal matters,... his stubborn insistence in trying to restore unity within the church at any cost, and finally his conviction that as ‘ bishop of those outside the church ’ he had the final say about any religious matter. ”
Nikaias Constantinuse eestvedamisel sõnastatud lõppotsuse kohta lausub ” Istoria tou Ellinikou Ethnous ”: ” Sellest ilmneb [Constantinuse] ükskõiksus õpetuslikes küsimustes,.. tema kangekaelne taotlus taastada iga hinna eest kirikusisene ühtsus ja viimaks tema veendumus, et ” väljaspool kirikut olijate piiskopina ” on temal igasuguses usuküsimuses viimane sõna. ”
