To Julius the Monk.
It is to your harm that you gladly take up the more lucrative of the trades, to the considerable distraction of your own soul, so that you no longer have any time left at all, nor can you find any, to remember the Lord your God.
Κακῶς τὰς εὐπορωτέρας τῶν τεχνῶν ἡδέως μεταχειρίζῃ, πρὸς ἱκανὸν περισπασμὸν τῆς ἑαυτοῦ ψυχῆς, ἵνα μηδὲ ὅλως καιρὸν λοιπὸν ἔχῃς, μηδὲ εὑρίσκῃς, μνημονεύειν Κυρίου τοῦ Θεοῦ σου.
