I for my part have known certain people who, out of insensibility and much wickedness, were unwilling even to receive the physician of souls when he drew near to them bringing loving-kindness.
Τινὰς ἔγνων ἔγωγε, μηδὲ πλησιάζοντα οἷα φιλ-
ανθρωπίαν τῶν τῶν ψυχῶν ἰατρὸν παραδέξασθαι
βουληθέντας, ἀπὸ ἀναισθησίας, καὶ πονηρίας πολ-
λῆς.
