Καὶ τὰ μὲν ὧδε ἔδοξε τοῖς ἐν Σαγγάρῳ συνελθοῦσιν. Ἐξ ἐκείνου δὲ Σαββάτιος τοῖς Ἰουδαίοις ἑπόμενος, εἰ μὴ κατὰ ταυτὸν συνηνέχθη πάντας ἄγειν τὴν ἑορτὴν φθάνων ὡς ἔθος ἐνήστευε: καὶ καθ̓ ἑαυτὸν διὰ τῶν νενομισμένων ἐπετέλει τὸ Πάσχα. Τῷ δὲ σαββάτῳ ἀφ̓ ἑσπέρας ἐπὶ τὸν δέοντα καιρὸν ἐν ἀγρυπνίᾳ καὶ ταῖς προσηκούσαις εὐχαῖς διαγινόμενος, τῇ ἑξῆς ἡμέρᾳ κοινῇ πᾶσιν ἐκκλησίαζε καὶ τῶν μυστηρίων μετεῖχε.
