ἀλλ’ ὁ μὲν ἐκ μακροῦ καὶ πρόπαλαι τῷ λογισμῷ ταῦτα προτυπούμενος ἀφιέρου τοῖς ἀποστόλοις τὸν νεών, ὠφέλειαν ψυχῆς ὀωησιφόρον τὴν τῶνδε μνή- μην ποιεῖσθαι αὐτῷ πιστεών, θεὸς δὲ αὐτὸν καὶ τῶν κατ’ εὐχὰς προσδοκηθέντων οὐκ ἀπηξίου. ὡς γὰρ τὰς πρώτας τῆς τοῦ πάσχα ἑορτῆς συνεπλήρου ἀσκήσεις τήν τε σωτήριον διήγαγεν ἡμέραν λαμπρὰν ἠδὲ εὐφρόσυνον, αὐτῷ τε καὶ τοῖς πᾶσι τὴν ἑορτὴν κατα- φαιδρύνας, ἐν τούτῳ μέχρι τέλους τὴν ζωὴν διανύοντα καὶ ἐν τούτοις ὄντα θεός, ᾧ ταῦτα συνεξετάλει, κατὰ καιρὸν εὔκαιρον τῆς θείας ἐπὶ τὸ κρεῖττον μεταβάσεως αὐτὸν ἠξίου.
