[107] τοῦτ’ ἐστὶν ἱλασμός — καὶ γὰρ οὗτος δεκάτῃ τοῦ μηνὸς ¹² βεβαιοῦται (Lev. 23,27), τὸν δέκατον ἱκετευούσης θεὸν ψυχῆς καὶ τὴν ταπεινότητα καὶ οὐδένειαν τοῦ γενητοῦ περίνοιαν λογισμοῦ πεποιθυίας καὶ τὰς ἐν ἅπασι τοῖς καλοῖς ὑπερβολὰς καὶ ἀκρότητας τοῦ ἀγενήτου δεδιδαγμένης. ἵλεως οὖν καὶ ἄνευ ἱκετείας ἵλεως εὐθὺς γίνεται τοῖς ἑαυτοὺς κακοῦσι καὶ συστέλλουσι καὶ μὴ καυχήσει καὶ οἰήσει φυσωμένοις —,
τοῦτ’ ἐστὶν ἄφεσις (Lev. 25,9 sqq.),

[107] For this propitiation also is established in the tenth day of the month, when the soul addresses its supplications to the tenth portion, namely to God, and has learnt, by its own sagacity and acuteness, the insignificance and nothingness of the creature, and also the excessive perfection and preeminent excellence in all good things of the uncreated God. Therefore God becomes at once propitious, and propitious too, even without any supplications being addressed to him, to those who abase and humble themselves, and who are not puffed up with vain arrogance and self-opinion.
