Letter 935
To Marianus the Monk.
In the season of the war of fornication [the onslaught of lustful temptation], decline the invitations of those who give banquets. But if a stranger comes to you, then attend to him and give him rest; yet fence yourself round, in a concealed manner, with fasting and thirst.

Ἐν τῷ καιρῷ τοῦ τῆς πορνείας πολέμου παραιτοῦ τῶν ἑστιατόρων τὰς κλήσεις. Εἰ δὲ ξένος ἀπαντήσῃ σοι, τότε αὐτὸν μὲν θεραπεύσας ἀνάπαυσον, σεαυτὸν δὲ περικεκαλυμμένως τῇ ἀσιτίᾳ καὶ τῇ δίψῃ περίφραξον.
