κἂν ἐμὲ μὴ κώλυε τὴν εὐθεῖαν βαδίσαι ὁδόν. τοῦτο γὰρ ποθῶ, τούτου ἐφίεμαι, τοῦ πάντων ἀπαλλαγῆναι, καὶ τόπους καταλαβεῖν ἔνθα Βαρλαὰμ ὁ τοῦ Χριστοῦ θεράπων τὰς οἰκήσεις ἔχει, καὶ σὺν αὐτῷ τὸ λοιπὸν τῆς παρούσης μου διανῦσαι ζωῆς. εἰ δὲ βίᾳ κατασχεῖν με θελήσειας, ὄψει με θᾶττον τῇ λύπῃ καὶ ἀδημονίᾳ νεκρόν· καὶ οὔτε σὺ τὸ λοιπὸν πατὴρ κληθήσῃ, οὔτε υἱόν με ἔτι ἕξεις.
