εἰ γοῦν τις ἐπὶ τούτοις συμπαθὼν ἐκώλυεν παραινέσεως χρώμενος λόγοις, τραυματίας ἀπελύετο ἀλλὰ φεῦ τῶν συμφορῶν, πολλαὶ βίαιον φθορὰν ὑπέστησαν σώματος, πολλαὶ τῶν παρθένων ῥοπάλοις κατὰ κεφαλῆς τυπτόμεναι ἔμενον ἀχανεῖς, οὐκ ἐπιτρεπομένων τῶν σωμάτων οὐδὲ τῇ ὁσίᾳ παραδίδοσθαι· πολλὰ οὑν μέχρι σήμερον τῶν γονέων ὀδυρομένων οὐχ εὑρίσκεται σώματα.
