St Basil the Great, tr. Lowther Clarke, 1925

Chapter 13

That one must always be sober and do God’s works zealously, recognising the danger of delay. Lk. xii. 35; 36 ἀναλύσει for ἀναλύσῃ**; 37 ἐλθών before ὁ κύριος K; 38 καὶ ἐάν for κἄν K, add ἔλθῃ after ἐάν K, add φυλακῇ after δευτέρᾳ K, add οἱ δοῦλοι K; 39 add ἄν after οὐκ K, τὴν οἰκίαν for τὸν οἶκον; 40 add οὖν after ὑμεῖς K; 1 Thess. v. 1 γράφεσθαι before ὑμῖν*; 2 add ἡ before ἡμέρα K; 6 add καί before οἱ K. 2That one must consider every time fitting for the zeal of those who would please God. Jn. ix. 4 ἐμέ for ἡμᾶς K; Phil. ii. 12.
