Ἐν τούτῳ δὲ καὶ Ἱλαρίων μοναχὸς ἐπιζητούμενος παρὰ τῶν Γαζαίων, ἔφυγεν εἰς Σικελίαν. Ἔνθα δὴ ξύλα συλλέγων ἐκ τῶν ἐρήμων ὀρῶν, καὶ ἐπὶ τῶν ὤμων φέρων, ἐν τῇ πόλει διεπώλει: καὶ ὅσον ἀποζῆν, τούτῳ τῷ τρόπῳ τὴν καθημέραν τροφὴν ἐπορίζετο. Καταμηνυθεὶς δὲ ὅστις εἴη καὶ οἷος ὑπὸ δαιμονῶντος ἀνδρὸς τῶν ἐπισήμων, τοῦ δαιμονᾷν αὐτὸν ἀπαλλάξας, ἦλθεν εἰς Δαλματίαν. Μέγιστά τε καὶ παράδοξα σὺν θείᾳ δυνάμει κἀνταῦθα κατορθώσας, ὡς καὶ τὴν θάλασσαν εὐχῇ στῆσαι ἐξ ὑπονοστήσεως ἐπικλύσαι τὴν ξηρὰν κατατρέχουσαν, πάλιν ἔνθεν ἀνεχώρησεν. Οὐ γὰρ καταθύμιον ἦν αὐτῷ, διατρίβειν παρὰ τοῖς ἐπαινοῦσιν: ἀλλ̓ ἐν τῷ τοὺς τόπους ἀμείβειν, ἐσπούδασεν ἄδηλος εἶναι, καὶ τὴν κρατοῦσαν περὶ αὐτοῦ δόξαν διαλύειν ταῖς συχναῖς μετοικήσεσι.
