[224] ὧν ἀποτροπὴν εὐχώμεθα γενέσθαι τὸν πάντα ἵλεω ποτνιώμενοι θεόν, ἵνα καὶ τὴν ἀγρίαν ταύτην ἄμπελον διολέσῃ καὶ τοῖς εὐνούχοις καὶ πᾶσιν ἀγόνοις ἀρετῆς ἀίδιον ψηφίσηται φυγήν, ἀντὶ δὲ τούτων ἥμερα μὲν ταῖς
ψυχαῖς ἡμῶν δένδρα τὰ παιδείας ὀρθῆς ἐμφυτεύσῃ, γενναίους δὲ καὶ ἄρρενας ὡς ἀληθῶς καρποὺς καὶ λόγους χαρίσηται δυναμένους μὲν σπείρειν καλὰς πράξεις, δυναμένους δὲ συναύξειν ἀρετάς, ἱκανοὺς δὲ τὴν εὐδαιμονίας ἅπασαν συνέχειν καὶ διαφυλάττειν εἰς ἀεὶ συγγένειαν.

[224] For which wounds, however, we pray that a relief may be found by propitiating the all-merciful God, in order that he may destroy this wild vine, and may condemn the eunuchs and all persons who are barren of virtue to everlasting punishment; and that, instead of them he may implant in our souls the valuable trees of right instruction, and may bestow upon us noble and masculine reason as its fruit, such as is able to bear within it good actions by way of seed, and is able to increase the virtues, and is calculated to maintain and preserve for ever the entire connection and system of happiness.
