τούτους οὐκ ἄν τις ἔτι θαλαττεύοντας αἰτιάσαιτο· ἀκούσιος γὰρ αὐτοῖς ἐπειγομένοις γέγονεν ἡ βραδυτής. τίς οὖν ἀπεικάζεται τούτοις ἢ ὁ τὴν μεγάλην λεγομένην εὐξάμενος εὐχήν; „ἐὰν γάρ τις“ φησίν „ἀποθάνῃ ἐπ’ αὐτῷ αἰφνίδιον, παραχρῆμα μιανθήσεται ἡ κεφαλὴ εὐχῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ξυρήσεται“· εἶτα ὀλίγα προσειπὼν ἐπιφέρει· „αἱ δ’ ἡμέραι αἱ πρότεραι ἄλογοι ἔσονται, ὅτι ἐμιάνθη κεφαλὴ εὐχῆς αὐτοῦ“ (Num. 6,9. 12)·
