Letter 706
To Tapiscus the Deacon.
"In the fullness of bread," it says [Ezekiel 16:49, LXX], "Sodom lived in luxury, and grew proud." For the soul that is becoming like Sodom, once it has been filled with the bread of knowledge, then kicks back in revolt, and becomes insufferable.

Ἐν πλησμονῇ, φησίν, ἄρτων ἐσπατάλησε Σόδομα,
καὶ ὑπερηφανεύσατο. Ἡ γὰρ σοδομουμένη ψυχὴ χορ-
τασθεῖσα τῶν ἄρτων τῆς γνώσεως, ἀπολακτίζει λοι-
πὸν, καὶ δυσφόρητός ἐστιν.
