[43] Λάβαν δ’ ὁ μισάρετος οὐδὲ καταφιλῆσαι δυνήσεται τὰς προσκεκληρωμένας τῷ ἀσκητικῷ
δυνάμεις, ἀλλ’ ὑποκρίσεως καὶ ψευδῶν πλασμάτων ἀνηρτηκὼς τὸν ἑαυτοῦ βίον, ὡσανεὶ δυσχεραίνων, οὐ πρὸς ἀλήθειαν ἀλγῶν, φησίν· „οὐκ ἠξιώθην καταφιλῆσαι τὰ παιδία μου καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας“ (Gen. 31, 28)· εἰκότως γε καὶ προσηκόντως· εἰρωνείαν γὰρ μισεῖν ἀκαταλλάκτως ἐπαιδεύθημεν.

[43] But Laban, the hater of virtue, will neither be able to kiss the virtues which are assigned to the man who is inclined to the practise of virtue, but, making his own life to depend on hypocrisy and false pretenses, he, as if indignant, for he is not in reality affected, says, "I was not accounted worthy to kiss my children and my daughters;" ¹ speaking very naturally and decorously, for we have all been taught to hate irony irreconcileably.
