Ἐν δὲ τῇ μονῇ πολυπραγμονῶν ἀκριβέστερον τὰ περὶ τὴν κτῆσιν, ἐμέμψατό που καὶ τὰ περὶ τὸν οἰκονόμον Φωκᾶν· τὸ δὲ τῆς μέμψεως οὐ περαιτέρω προῆλθεν, ἀλλὰ μέχρι ῥημάτων. Εὗρε δὲ καιρὸν ἡ Πλαγγών, καὶ περίφοβος εἰσέδραμε πρὸς τὴν Καλλιρρόην, σπαράσσουσα τὴν κόμην ἑαυτῆς· λαβομένη δὲ τῶν γονάτων αὐτῆς “δέομαί σου” φησίν, “κυρία, σῶσον ἡμᾶς· τῷ γὰρ ἀνδρί μου χαλεπαίνει Διονύσιος· φύσει δέ ἐστι βαρύθυμος, ὥσπερ καὶ φιλάνθρωπος.
