The Twelfth Sentence of the Letter to Theodore as Transcribed by Agamemnon Tselikas

Οὕτως οὖν προπαρεσκεύασεν, οὐ φθονερῶς οὐδ᾽ ἀπροφυλάκτως, ὡς ἐγὼ οἶμαι, καὶ ἀποθνήσκων κατέλιπε τὸ αὐτοῦ σύγγραμμα τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ τῇ ἐν Ἀλεξανδρείᾳ, ὅπου εἰσέτι νῦν ἀσφαλῶς εὖ μάλα τηρεῖται, ἀναγινωσκόμενον πρὸς αὐτοὺς μόνους τοὺς μυουμένους τὰ μεγάλα μυστήρια.
"So he prepared in such a way, not enviously or negligently, as I think, and, dying, he left his writing to the church in Alexandria, where even now it is securely and well preserved, being read only by those who are initiated into the great mysteries."
