[235] οὐκοῦν τρισὶ μετανοίας τρόποις ἱλάσκεται τοῖς εἰρημένοις, κτήνεσιν ἢ πτηνοῖς ἢ λευκοπύροις, πρὸς τὴν τοῦ καθαιρομένου
καὶ μετανοοῦντος δήπου δύναμιν· οὔτε γὰρ μικρὰ μεγάλων οὔτε μεγάλα μικρῶν δεῖται καθαρσίων, τῶν δὲ πρὸς τὸ ἀνάλογον ἴσων καὶ ὁμοίων. τί δήποτ’ οὖν διὰ τριῶν ἡ κάθαρσις, ἄξιον ἐρευνῆσαι.

[235] God therefore here is propitiated by three different kinds of repentance, by the aforesaid beasts, or by the birds, or by the white flour, according, in short, to the ability of him who is being purified and who repents. For small offences do not require great purifications, nor are small purifications fit for great crimes; but they should be equal, and similar, and in due proportion.
