τὰ προσόντα τῷ μοχθηρῷ, τὰ δ’ ὧν ἐκεῖνος ἐστέρηται περιουσία καὶ εὔκλεια τοῖς ἀστείοις ἐστίν· ἐστέρηται δὲ ἀρετῶν, αἳ δὴ κτήματα τῶνδε γεγόνασιν, ἵνα καὶ τὸ ἑτέρωθι λεχθὲν συνᾴδῃ· „τὰ βδελύγματα Αἰγύπτου θύσομεν κυρίῳ τῷ θεῷ“ (Exod. 8,26)· τέλεια γὰρ καὶ ἄμωμα ἱερεῖα αἱ ἀρεταὶ καὶ αἱ κατὰ ἀρετὰς πράξεις, ἃς τὸ φιλοπαθὲς Αἰγύπτιον βδελύττεται σῶμα.
