οὐδεὶς οἶμαι ἀντερεῖ. Ἀθανάσιον δὲ λόγος, κατὰ θείαν ὄψιν ὡδὶ ὑποθεμένην αὐτῷ σωθήσεσθαι, πρὸς ταύτην τὴν παρθένον καταφυγεῖν. Καί μοι δοκεῖ πρὸς τὴν ἀπόβασιν ὁρῶντι, οὐκ ἀθεεὶ ταῦτα οἰκονομηθῆναι: ἀλλ̓ ὥστε καὶ τοὺς Ἀθανασίου ἐπιτηδείους μὴ ἔχειν πράγματα, εἴ τις αὐτοὺς πολυπραγμονεῖν περὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπεχείρησεν, ἢ ὀμνύναι ἐβιάσατο: καὶ αὐτὸν διαλαθεῖν παρὰ ταύτῃ κρυπτόμενον, ἣ τῷ μὲν κάλλει οὐ συνεχώρει ὑπονοεῖσθαι ἐνθάδε διάγειν τὸν ἱερέα.
