Λόγος δὲ καὶ τὰ ἄλλα ἐνδύματα τῶν ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ μοναχῶν συλλαμβάνεσθαι εἰς ὑπόδειγμα φιλοσοφίας τινός: μηδὲ ὡς ἔτυχε παραλλάσσειν τῶν ἄλλων. Καὶ τοὺς μὲν χιτῶνας ἀχειριδώτους ἐνδεδύσκεσθαι, παιδεύοντας μὴ ἑτοίμους ἔχειν τὰς χεῖρας εἰς ὕβριν. Τὸ δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς σκέπασμα, ὃ κουκούλιον καλοῦσιν, ὥστε ἐπίσης ἀκεραίως καὶ καθαρῶς βιοῦν τοῖς γάλακτι τρεφομένοις παισὶν, οἷς αἱ τοιαῦται τιάραι ἐπίκεινται, τὸ ἡγεμονικὸν σκέπουσαί τε καὶ περιθάλπουσαι.
