οὕτως γὰρ καὶ Σόδομα φθείρεται, μηδενὸς οἷα ἐπὶ πλάστιγγος ἀμυθήτῳ πλήθει κακῶν ἀντιρρέψαι δυνηθέντος ἀγαθοῦ· ὡς εἴ γε ὁ πεντηκοστὸς λόγος εὑρέθη, καθ’ ὃν ἄφεσις ψυχῇ δουλείας καὶ παντελὴς ἐλευθερία προκηρύττεται (Lev. 25, 10), ἤ τις τῶν μετ’ αὐτὸν ἀριθμῶν, οὓς ὁ σοφὸς Ἀβραὰμ καταλέγεται μέχρι τῆς κατὰ παιδείαν ὁρίζων δεκάδος τὴν ὕφεσιν, οὐκ ἂν οὕτως ἀκλεῶς ὁ νοῦς ἐφθάρη (Gen. 18, 24 sqq.).
