καὶ πρᾴως ἐπελαφρίζοντα. μαρτυρίαι δὲ τούτων ἐν ταῖς ἱεραῖς βίβλοις κατάκεινται, ἃς οὐ θέμις ψευδομαρτυριῶν ἁλῶναι, μηνύουσαι ὅτι βραχέα τῷ σώματι ἐπιδακρύσας θᾶττον ἀπανέστη τοῦ νεκροῦ, τὸ πενθεῖν ἐπὶ πλέον, ὡς ἔοικεν, ἀλλότριον ἡγησάμενος σοφίας, ὑφ’ ἧς ἀνεδιδάχθη τὸν θάνατον νομίζειν μὴ σβέσιν ψυχῆς, ἀλλὰ χωρισμὸν καὶ διάζευξιν ἀπὸ σώματος, ὅθεν ἦλθεν ἀπιούσης· ἦλθε δέ, ὡς ἐν τῇ κοσμοποιίᾳ δεδήλωται, παρὰ θεοῦ.
