To Domninus the Presbyter.

You have learned that certain people are reproached in the Holy Scripture, because, hastening themselves unseasonably, they did not wait for the counsel of the Master. It is best, therefore, at every season to make use of long-suffering, and patience, and prayer.

Latin / Greek Original

Ἔγνως μέμψει τινὰς ὑποβληθέντας παρὰ τῇ ἁγίᾳ Γραφῇ, ὅτι ἀκαίρως κατασπεύδοντες ἑαυτούς, οὐχ ὑπέμειναν τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ Δεσπότου. Βέλτιστον τοίνυν ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ μακροθυμίᾳ, καὶ ὑπομονῇ, καὶ εὐχῇ κεχρῆσθαι.
