ἐπεὶ καὶ εὐεκτοῦν, οὐδέν με ὤνησεν, ἔφη, καὶ κακῶς πάσχον, οὐκ ἔβλαψε. Κατ̓ ἐκεῖνο δὲ καιροῦ ἐν Σκήτει διέτριβε Μάρκος τε ὁ ἀοίδιμος, καὶ Μακάριος ὁ νέος, καὶ Ἀπολλώνιος, καὶ Μωσῆς ὁ Αἰθίοψ. Φασὶ δὲ Μάρκον μὲν, καὶ ἐν τῷ νέῳ τῆς ἡλικίας εἰς ἄγαν πρᾷον καὶ σώφρονα, καὶ μνήμονα ἱερῶν γραφῶν γενέσθαι: θεοφιλῆ δὲ ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον, ὡς ἰσχυρίζεσθαι Μακάριον τὸν αὐτὸν, πρεσβύτερον ὄντα τῶν Κελλίων, μηδὲ πώποτε παῤ αὐτοῦ λαβεῖν ἃ θέμις ἱερεῦσι διδόναι τοῖς μεμυημένοις περὶ τὴν ἱερὰν τράπεζαν: ἄγγελος δὲ αὐτῷ ἐδίδου, οὗ τὴν χεῖρα μέχρι τοῦ καρποῦ μόνου ἔλεγε θεωρεῖν.
