αὐτὸς δὲ ἀμφοτέρων ὑπερίπτατο τῷ λογισμῷ, τὸν μὲν φόβον τῆς ἀγάπης, ὥς φησιν ἡ Γραφή, ἔξω βαλλούσης, τὸν πόνον δὲ τοῦ πόθου ἐπικουφίζοντος. οὕτως οὖν πολλαῖς καὶ ποικίλαις συμφοραῖς καὶ ταλαιπωρίαις πυκτεύσας, δι᾽ ἡμερῶν οὐκ ὀλίγων κατέλαβε τὴν ἔρημον ἐκείνην τῆς Σενααρίτιδος γῆς, ἐν ᾗ ὁ Βαρλαὰμ ᾤκει· ἔνθα καὶ ὕδατος τυχὼν τὴν φλόγα κατέσβεσε τῆς δίψης.
