προτρέπων μέ τις θαρρῆσαι Μουσωνίου διῄει λόγον· ἐκεῖνος ἔφη βουλόμενός τινα ἀναστῆσαι κάμνοντα καὶ ἀπειρηκότα οὑτωσί πως εἶπεν καθαπτόμενος· τί μένεις; ποῖ βλέπεις; ἢ μέχρι ἂν αὐτὸς ὁ θεὸς παραστάς σοι φωνὴν ἀφιῇ; ἔκκοψον τὸ τεθνηκὸς τῆς ψυχῆς, καὶ γνώσῃ τὸν θεόν. τοιαῦτʼ ἔφη τὸν Μουσώνιον εἰπεῖν.
