How much more rightly you would say: “Manichaeus said the same thing in his letter to Patricius. He also said it in the letter he wrote to his daughter Menoch, and in many other writings that you have thoroughly absorbed.” Instead, you try to draw the bishop of Milan into your company. Because you cannot obtain a defense, you want to find consolation.

Latin

Quanto rectius diceres: Dixit hoc idem et Manichaeus in epistola ad Patricium; dixit et in epistola quam scripsit ad filiam Menoch, dixit et in aliis multis scriptis, quae tu penitus imbibisti? Sed in consortium tuum episcopum Mediolanensem conaris attrahere, et quia non potes habere praesidium, vis invenire solatium.
