Τοῦ ἁγίου Ἱππολύτου ἐπισκόπου καὶ μάρτυρος ἐκ τοῦ λόγου τοῦ εἰς τὸ „κύριος ποιμαίνει με“. Καὶ „κιβωτὸς“ δὲ „ἐκ ξύλων ἀσήπτων“ αὐτὸς ἦν ὁ σωτήρ. τὸ γὰρ ἄσηπτον αὐτοῦ καὶ ἀδιάφθορον σκῆνος ταύτῃ κατηγγέλλετο, τὸ μηδεμίαν ἁμαρτήματος σηπεδόνα φύσαν. ὁ γὰρ ἁμαρτήσας καὶ ἐξομολογούμενός φησι „προσώζεσαν καὶ ἐσάπησαν οἱ μώλωπές μου ἀπὸ προσώπου τῆς ἀφροσύνης μου.“ ὁ δὲ κύριος ἀναμάρτητος ἦν, ἐκ τῶν „ἀσήπτων ξύλων“ τὸ κατὰ ἄνθρωπον, τουτέστιν ἐκ τῆς παρθένου καὶ τοῦ ἁγίου πνεύματος, ἔσωθεν καὶ ἔξωθεν τοῦ λόγου τοῦ θεοῦ οἷα καθαρωτάτῳ χρυσίῳ περικεκαλυμμένος.
