καὶ τοιαύτη τις εὐχαριστίας θθςία τοῖς ἀνδράσιν ἀποτελείται, ἁγνὴ μὲν αἵματος ἁγνὴ δὲ πάσης βίας, οὐδὲ μὴν ὀσμὴ λιβάνων ἐπιποθεῖται οὐδὲ πυρκαϊά, καθαρὸν δὲ φῶς ὅσον ἐξαρκέσαι τοῖς εὐχομένοις πρὸς ἔκλαμψιν, σωφρονέστατα δὲ πολλῶν καὶ τὰ συμπόσια πρὸς ἔλεον καὶ ἀνάκτησιν τῶν δεομένων ποιούμενα καὶ πρὸς βοήθειαν τῶν ἐκπεςόντων. ἅπερ ἄν τις φορτικὰ εἶναι νομίζῃ, οὐ κατὰ τὴν θείαν καὶ μακαρίαν διδασκαλίαν φρονεῖ.
