τούτῳ δὲ καὶ τῶν ἀπ’ Αἰγύπτου συνῆσαν πλείους, ἐν οἷς ἦν καὶ Ἰωάννης, ὃς τῇ περὶ μνήμας ἀρετῇ τοὺς καθ’ ἡμᾶς ὑπερεβάλετο πάντας. τῶν μὲν οὖν ὄψεων καὶ πρότερον οὗτος ἐστέρητο, ὅμως δὲ καὶ ἐφ’ αἷς διέπρεψεν ὁμολογίαις ὁμοίως τοῖς ἄλλοις καυτῆρσιν ἀφανισθεὶς τὸν πόδα, κατὰ τῆς μὴ ἐνεργούσης ὁράσεως τὸν αὐτὸν τοῦ πυρὸς καυτῆρα εἰλήφει, τῶν δημίων ἐπὶ τὸ ἀνηλεὲς καὶ ἀσυμπαθὲς τὸ τοῦ τρόπου ὠμὸν καὶ ἀπάνθρωπον ἐπιτεινόντων.
