Origenes comment. in Matthaeum Vol. III p. 591 Delarue. ὅπερ δὲ ἐπὶ τῶν κατὰ τὰ ἀφροδίσια λέλεκται περὶ τῶν παιδίων, τοῦτ’ ἂν λεχθείη καὶ περὶ τῶν λοιπῶν παθῶν καὶ ἀῤῥωστημάτων καὶ νοσημάτων τῆς ψυχῆς, εἰς ἃ μὴ πέφυκε παιδία ἐμπίπτειν, ὅσα τὸν λόγον μηδέπω συμπεπλήρωκεν. paulo post: ὁ στραφεὶς ὡς παιδία καὶ ἕξιν ἀναλαβὼν ἐκ λόγου τῆς λύπης ἀπαράδεκτον. － p. 592. ὡς μὲν οὖν πρὸς τὸ ἀκριβὲς ἀποδέδεικται καὶ ἄλλοις ὅτι οὐδὲν τῶν παθῶν πίπτει εἰς τὰ μηδέπω συμπεπληρωκότα τὸν λόγον παιδία· εἰ δ’ οὐδὲν δηλονότι καὶ ὁ φόβος· ἀλλ’ εἰ ἄρα ἀνάλογόν τι τοῖς πάθεσι, καὶ ταῦτα ἀμυδρὰ καὶ τάχιστα ἀνασκευαζόμενα καὶ θεραπευόμενα γίνεται ἐν τοῖς παιδίοις. － － ὅτι τὰ παιδία τὸν μὲν φόβον τῶν φαύλων οὐ πάσχει, ἄλλο δέ τι οἱ διακριβοῦντες τὰ τῶν παθῶν καὶ τῶν ὀνομάτων ἐκείνων λέγουσιν εἶναι φόβον. οἷον δὲ καὶ τὸ. τῶν παιδίων ἀμνησίκακον, παρ’ αὐτοὺς τοὺς τῶν δακρύων καιροὺς ἐν ἀκαρεῖ μεταβαλλομένων καὶ γελώντων καὶ συμπαιζόντων τοῖς νομιζομένοις λελυπηκέναι καὶ πεφοβηκέναι, ἀλλ’ οὐ κατὰ τὴν ἀλήθειαν ταῦτα ἐνηργηκόσιν.
