περὶ γὰρ >τοῦ μεγάλου καὶ εὐγηροτάτου καὶ ὁμολογητοῦ ἀληθῶς Ὁσίου >ἐστιν ἐμὲ καὶ λέγειν· ἴσως γὰρ ἐγνώσθη πᾶσιν ὅτι καὶ τοῦτον >ρισθῆναι πεποιήκασιν, οὐ γὰρ ἄσημος ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντων >περιφανὴς ὁ γέρων. ποίας γὰρ οὐχ ἡγήσατο συνόδου καὶ >ὀρθῶς οὐ πάντας ἔπεισε; ποία ἐκκλησία τῆς τούτου προστασίας >ἔχει μνήματα κάλλιστα; τίς ὀδυρόμενός ποτε προσελθὼν αὐτῷ >χαίρων ἀπῆλθεν ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ; τίς ᾔτησε δεόμενος καὶ οὐκ >τυχὼν ὢν ἠθέλησεν; καὶ ὅμως καὶ κατὰ τούτου τετολμήκασιν, >καὶ οὗτος εἰδὼς ἃς ποιοῦσι διὰ τὴν ἀσέβειαν αὐτῶν >οὐχ ὑπέγραψε ταῖς καθ’ ἡμῶν.«
