[144] πλήρης γὰρ πραγμάτων, οὐκ ὀνειράτων καὶ κενῶν φαντασμάτων ἦν. οὐδ’ οἱ τυφλοὶ διάνοιαν Σοδομῖται σπουδάσαντες ἐκθύμως αἰσχῦναι τοὺς ἱεροὺς καὶ ἀμιάντους λόγους εὗρον τὴν εἰς τοῦτ’ ἄγουσαν ὁδόν, ἀλλ’, ὥς φησι
τὸ λόγιον, „παρελύθησαν ζητοῦντες τὴν θύραν“ (Gen. 19, 11), καίτοι γε ἐν κύκλῳ πᾶσαν τὴν οἰκίαν περιθέοντες καὶ πάντα κινήσαντες λίθον πρὸς ἐκπλήρωσιν τῆς ἐκφύλου καὶ ἀσεβοῦς ἐπιθυμίας.

[144] Nor did the inhabitants of Sodom, blind in their minds, who were insanely eager to defile the holy and unpolluted reasonings, "find the road which led to this" ¹ object; but, as the sacred scriptures tell us, they were wearied with their exertions to find the door, although they ran in a circle all round the house, and left no stone unturned for the accomplishment of their unnatural and impious desires.
