Ἀνδρὡπτῳ ἐάν τανι γένηται ἐν δέρματι χρωτὸς αὐτοῦ οὐλή. Ἀνάγεται ταῦτα ἐπί τινας μώμους τῆς ψυχῆς. Καὶ ὥσπερ ἐπὶ τῶν τοῦ σώματος τραυμάτων μετὰ τὴν θεραπείαν ἔσθʼ ὅτε ἴχνος τοῦ πεπονθέναι τοὺς τόπους καταλείπεται ἐν τῇ καλουμένῃ οὐλῇ· τὸν αὐτὸν τρόπον ἡ λαβοῦσα τραῦμα ἁμαρτίας ψυχὴ, κἂν τύχῃ θεραπείας, οἱονεὶ οὐλὴν ἐνίοτε ἔχει καταλειπομένην. Δεῖ δὲ καὶ τὸν τρόπον τοῦ ἀπʼ αὐτῆς καθαρισμεῦ ἢ οὐ καθαρισμοῦ ἐξεπίστασθαι.
