Ηᾶν κτῆνος δικηλοῦν ὁπλήν. Δικηλῆ τὸν εὐσεβῶς ἐν τῷ αἰῶνι τούτῳ πολιτευόμενον καὶ διὰ τὸν μέλλοντα αἰῶνα ἐπʼ ἐκεῖνον σπεύδοντα· πρὸς δὲ τὸ διχηλεῖν καὶ ὀνυχιστῆρας ὀνυχίζειν περιαιρούμενον τὰ περιττὰ καὶ νεκρὰ. ἀπὸ τῶν χειρῶν, τοῦτʼ ἔστι πράξεων· καὶ ποδῶν, τουτέστι τῆς πορείας. Πρὸς τοὐτοις καὶ ἀνὰ μηρυκισμὸν οὐκ ἀποτιθέμενον μόνον τὴν πνευματικὴν τροφὴν, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀναμιμνησκόμενον καὶ συνεχῶς αὐτὴν μελετῶντα.
