Ἐμοῦ δὲ χάριν, ἔφην, εἰ ἐπέμενον, καθ᾿ ἡμέραν ἐβουλόμην ταὐτὸ γίνεσθαι· ἀναχθήσεσθαι δὲ ἤδη προσδοκῶν, ἐπιτρέποντος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ συνεργοῦντος, ὑμᾶς προτρέπομαι, ἐνστησαμένους ὑπὲρ τῆς ἑαυτῶν σωτηρίας μέγιστον τοῦτον ἀγῶνα, τῶν διδασκάλων ὑμῶν σπουδάσαι προτιμῆσαι μᾶλλον τὸν τοῦ παντοκράτορος θεοῦ Χριστόν. Μεθ᾿ ἃ ἀπῄεσαν λοιπὸν εὐχόμενοί τέ μοι σωτηρίαν καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ πλοῦ καὶ ἀπὸ πάσης κακίας· ἐγώ τε ὑπὲρ αὐτῶν εὐχόμενος [fol. 193] ἔφην· Οὐδὲν ἄλλο μεῖζον ὑμῖν εὔχεσθαι δύναμαι, ὦ ἄνδρες, ἢ ἵνα, ἐπιγνόντες διὰ ταύτης τῆς ὁδοῦ δίδοσθαι παντὶ ἀνθρώπῳ εὐδαιμονεῖν. πάντως καὶ αὐτοὶ ἡμῖν ὅμοια ποιήσητε, τὸν Ἰησοῦν εἶναι τὸν Χριστὸν τοῦ θεοῦ.
