14.11 Forsitan non erant sepulcra, etc? ORIG., homil. 5 in Exod. Hæc fatiscentis in tentatione animi verba sunt: beatus est qui sic tentationes excipit ut nulla ei cogitatio ambiguitatis obrepat. Petro etiam dicitur Matth. 13: Modicæ fidei, quare dubitasti? Tentationis et fragilitatis hæc verba sunt. Alioquin falsum est, melius est enim in eremo mori quam Ægyptiis servire. Qui enim in eremo moritur, hoc ipso quod separatus est ab Ægyptiis, id est rectoribus tenebrarum et e potestate Satanæ, habuit aliquem profectum, etiamsi ad integrum non potuit pervenire. Melius est enim perfectam vitam quærenti in itinere mori, quam nec proficisci. Unde eorum videtur falli opinio, qui dum arduum et periculosum iter virtutis exponunt, nec incipiendum judicant. Melius est enim in itinere mori, quam inter Ægyptios necari et falsis atque amaris fluctibus obrui.

BrLXX Καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς Μωυσῆν, παρὰ τὸ μὴ ὑπάρχειν μνήματα ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ, ἐξήγαγες ἡμᾶς θανατῶσαι ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ· τί τοῦτο ἐποίησας ἡμῖν, ἐξαγαγὼν ἐξ Αἰγύπτου;
