The Second Sentence of the Letter to Theodore from Agamemnon Tselikas's Transcription

Οὗτοι γὰρ οἱ προφητευθέντες ἀστέρες πλανῆται, οἱ ἀπὸ τῆς στενῆς τῶν ἐντολῶν ὁδοῦ εἰς ἀπέρατον ἄβυσσον πλανώμενοι τῶν σαρκικῶν καὶ ἐνσωμάτων ἁμαρτιῶν
"For these are the prophesied stars wandering, those from the narrow path of commandments into the boundless abyss, wandering from bodily and embodied sins." 

It seems to convey a metaphorical or allegorical meaning, perhaps referring to individuals who deviate from the path of righteousness or truth into moral or spiritual corruption.
