ταῦτα προλαβὼν δι' ἔργων ἐπεδείξατο, ἀγάπην γνησίαν καὶ θερμήν, χρημάτων ὑπεροψίαν, τὴν περὶ τοὺς οἰκείους τοῦ σπέρματος κηδεμονίαν· καὶ τὸν τῦφον δὲ ἅπαντα ἐπάτησε καὶ τὸν ὑγρὸν καὶ διαλελυμένον διεκρούσατο βίον, τῶν νῦν τὰς κορυφὰς τῶν ὀρῶν κατειληφότων μοναχῶν ἀκριβέστερον ζῶν. Οὔτε γὰρ οἰκία ἦν αὐτῷ, ἀλλ' ἡ σκιὰ τῶν φύλλων ὄροφος ἦν τῷ δικαίῳ καὶ στέγη· οὐδέ, ἐπειδὴ ξένος ἦν, ῥᾳθυμότερος περὶ τὴν φιλοξενίαν ἐγένετο, ἀλλ' ὁ ξένος ἐν ξένῃ ἔργον τοῦτο ἐποίει, τὸ διηνεκῶς ἐν μεσημβρίᾳ μέσῃ τοὺς παριόντας ὑποδέχεσθαι καὶ θεραπεύειν. Καὶ δι' ἑαυτοῦ τὸ ἔργον ἅπαν ἤνυε καὶ τὴν γυναῖκα κοινωνὸν ἐποίει τῆς καλῆς ταύτης πραγματείας.
