Letter 518
To Adolios the Jurist [nomikos, a lawyer or legal official].
That men should bathe together with women, the disciples of Christ in no way permitted; rather, they turned away from it, and abhorred it, and forbade it as a thing unseemly and unprofitable for Christians, and they recoiled from it, and spat it out.

Latin / Greek Original
Τὸ λούεσθαι ἄνδρας μετὰ γυναικῶν, οὐδαμῶς ἐπέτρεψαν οἱ τοῦ Χριστοῦ φοιτηταί, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀπέστρεψαν, καὶ ἐβδελύξαντο, καὶ ἀπηγόρευσαν ὡς ἀνάρμοστον, καὶ ἀσύμφορον ὑπάρχον Χριστιανοῖς, καὶ ἀποδεδύκασι, καὶ ἀπέπτυσαν.
