Letter 834
To the Same Man.
Observe that it was not at the first watch, nor the second, nor the third, but at the fourth watch of the night that was granted [allotted to him], that the Lord came to those who were being tormented by the storm, and by the waves, and by their boundless fear. [an allusion to Christ coming to the disciples walking on the sea, Matthew 14:25; Mark 6:48]

Βλέπετε, ὅτι οὐχὶ πρώτη φυλακή, οὐδὲ δευτέρα,
οὐδὲ τρίτη, ἀλλὰ τετάρτη φυλακὴ τῆς νυκτὸς τῆς
παραχωρουμένης, ἐπέστη ὁ Κύριος τοῖς διὰ τῆς λαί-
λαπος βασανιζομένοις, καὶ τῶν κυμάτων, καὶ τοῦ
ἀμέτρου φόβου.
