Letter 348
To Thyrsus the Monk.
If you are a busybody, and take pleasure in prying into the affairs of those who practice indecency, you have forgotten your own heart, you do not know your own cell, you have strayed from the truth, and you are walking a trackless path; and consider toward what kind of end you will come.

Latin / Greek Original
Ἐὰν πολυπραγμονῇς, καὶ ἡδέως περιεργάζῃ τὰ πράγματα τῶν τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην ἐργαζομένων, ἐλάθου τῆς σεαυτοῦ καρδίας, οὐκ οἶδας τὴν κέλλαν σου, ἐπλανήθης ἀπὸ τῆς ἀληθείας, καὶ ἀνοδίαν βαδίζεις· καὶ βλέπε, πρὸς ποῖον ἀλεύσῃ πέρας.
