σώματός τε ῥαστώνης ἢ ἐπιμελείας παντελῶς ἀμελεῖν. Ἔνιοι δὲ ἐπὶ τοσοῦτον ἐγκρατείας ἦλθον, ὡς Βατθαίου μὲν ὑπὸ τῆς ἄγαν ἐγκρατείας καὶ ἀσιτίας, σκώληκας ἐκ τῶν ὀδόντων ἕρπειν: Ἀλᾶν δὲ ἐπὶ ὀγδοήκοντα ἐνιαυτοὺς, ἄρτου μὴ γεύσασθαι: τὸν δὲ Ἡλιόδωρον ἀΰπνους τὰς πολλὰς διακαρτερῆσαι νύκτας, ἑβδομάδας ἡμερῶν ἐν νηστείαις ἐπισυνάψαντα.
