Ἀλλὰ σώφρων ὁ Ἰωσήφ; Ἀλλὰ δέδοικα μὴ γέλως ᾖ τὸν Παῦλον ἐντεῦθεν ἐγκωμιάζειν, ὃς ἐσταύρωσεν ἑαυτὸν τῷ κόσμῳ, καὶ οὐ τὰ λαμπρὰ ἐν τοῖς σώμασι μόνον, ἀλλὰ πάντα τὰ πράγματα οὕτως ἑώρα, ὡς ἡμεῖς τὴν κόνιν καὶ τὴν τέφραν, καὶ ὡς ἂν νεκρὸς πρὸς νεκρὸν ἀκίνητος γένοιτο. Οὕτω μετὰ ἀκριβείας τῆς φύσεως τὰ σκιρτήματα κατευνάζων, οὐδὲν οὐδέποτε πρὸς οὐδὲν ἀνθρώπινον πάθος ἔπαθεν.
