καὶ τοῦ δεσμώτου τὰ δεσμὰ διαρρυῆναι. Μετὰ δὲ ταῦτα καὶ πρὸς βασιλέα παραγενέσθαι ἐν Βυζαντίῳ διατρίβοντα τότε, ἑτοίμως τε τὴν χάριν λαβεῖν. Οὐ γὰρ εἴωθε Κωνσταντῖνος δυσχεραίνειν ἐπὶ ταῖς αὐτοῦ αἰτήσεσι: σφόδρα γὰρ ἐν πλείστῃ τιμῇ τὸν ἄνδρα ἦγε. Τάδε μὲν ἡμῖν ὡς ἐν βραχεῖ δεδηλώσθω, περὶ τῶν τότε λαμπρῶς ἐν μοναχοῖς φιλοσοφησάντων. Ὧι δὲ ἀκριβείας τῆς περὶ τούτων μέλει, ζητῶν ἂν εὕροι τῶν πλειόνων τοὺς βιοὺς ἀναγράπτους.
