ἐδικαίωσεν οὖν ὁ ἱερὸς λόγος τῷ τοῦ θεοῦ βωμῷ, δι’ οὗ πάντων ἁμαρτημάτων καὶ παρανομημάτων ἀπολύσεις γίνονται καὶ παντελεῖς ἀφέσεις, μὴ προσφέρειν ἀγγεῖον, ἐν ᾧ ποτε φωλεύσας ὁ νοῦς ἐπὶ τὴν ἀδικίας καὶ ἀσεβείας ἀνοδίαν ἐχώρησεν ἐκτραπόμενος τὴν ἐπ’ ἀρετὴν καὶ καλοκἀγαθίαν ἄγουσαν ὁδόν· εὔηθες γὰρ τὰς θυσίας ὑπόμνησιν ἁμαρτημάτων ἀλλὰ μὴ λήθην αὐτῶν κατασκευάζειν. τοῦτ’ αἴτιον εἶναί μοι δοκεῖ τοῦ μηδέτερον τῶν ἡγεμονίαν ἐχόντων, ἐγκέφαλον ἢ καρδίαν, προσφέρεσθαι.
