Greek text · Dindorf 4:237

“ὑπομνήσω γοῦν “πολλοὺς τῶν ἀδελφῶν πρᾶγμα ἐφʼ ἡμῶν γενόμενον, “ὃ νομίζω ὅτι εἰ ἐν Σοδόμοις ἐγεγόνει, τυχὸν ἂν “κἀκείνους ἐνουθέτησε. Νατάλιος ἦν τις ὁμολογη- “τὴς, οὐ πάλαι, ἀλλʼ ἐπὶ τῶν ἡμετέρων γενόμενος “καιρῶν.

English · Claude translation

“I will remind many of the brothers of an event that happened in our time, which, I think, if it had happened in Sodom, might perhaps have warned even them. There was a certain Natalius, a confessor, not long ago but in our own times.
