G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914, p. 28,1-30,1
Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ὁ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἄνθρωπος ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὴν ἔρημον, λυπούμενος μὲν ὅτι οὐ μεμαρτύρηκε, μαρτυρῶν δὲ καθ' ἡμέραν τῇ συνειδήσει (30,1) καὶ ἀντιπαλαίων πρὸς τὰς ἀρχὰς καὶ ἐξουσίας, πρὸς τοὺς κοσμοκράτορας τοῦ σκότους τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου, πρὸς τὰ πνευματικὰ τῆς πονηρίας, ὡς φησὶν ὁ μακάριος Παῦλος.
Jacobus Billius Prunaeus, 1577 A.D., Migne no. 73, col. 451c1-451d1
Ita egressus Dei homo in solitudinem secessit, moerore quidem eo nomine affectus, quod martyrium minime obiisset, caeterum nullo non die, quantum ad conscientiam attinet, martyrio fungens, atque adversus principatus et potestates, adversus mundi rectores (451d,1) tenebrarum hujus saeculi, adversus spiritualia nequitiae, ut ait beatus Paulus, dimicans (Ephes. VI).
G.R. Woodward, H. Mattingly, 1914
So the man of God went out and withdrew to the desert, grieved to have lost the crown of martyrdom, but daily a martyr in his conscience, and ‘wrestling against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness’; as saith Blessed Paul.
Keyser & Unger p. 7,1
þvi nest gek sa hinn goðe guðs vinr ifra konongenom. þat eitt harmannde oc syrgiannde at hann skylldi eigi þa firir guðs saker dœya.
H.E.Kinck, 1852 p. 11,1
Dernæst gik den gode Gudsven fra Kongen, kun derfor bedrövet og sorgfuld, at han ikke skulde dö da for Guds Skyld.
Ed. Gimaret 1972 101,1
