ἀπαγορευούσης τῆς γυναικὸς μὴ ἅπτεσθαι αὐτοῖς, καὶ λεγούσης ὅτι αὑτῆς εἴη ἐν τῇ προικὶ τετιμημένα καὶ ὅτι ‘τὰ πρόβατα ἔχετε πεντήκοντα καὶ τὸν παῖδα καὶ τὸν ποιμένα, πλείονος ἄξια ἢ κατεδικάσασθε:’ ἀπήγγειλε γάρ τις αὐτοῖς τῶν γειτόνων κόψας τὴν θύραν. ἔτι δὲ ἔφη τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτοῖς κείμενον εἶναι ἐπὶ τῇ τραπέζῃ: ἠκηκόει γὰρ ἐμοῦ: ‘κἂν περιμείνητε’, ἔφη, ‘ἢ μετέλθῃ τις ὑμῶν αὐτόν, ἔχοντες ἄπιτε τὸ ἀργύριον ἤδη: τὰ δὲ σκεύη ἐᾶτε, καὶ μηδὲν τῶν ἐμῶν φέρετε, ἄλλως τε καὶ ἔχοντες ἄξια τῆς καταδίκης.’
