μετὰ δὲ καὶ ταύτην τὴν ἐπιστολὴν, εἰρηνευσάντων τῶν κατὰ τὴν πόλιν, τοῖς κατʼ Αἴγυπτον ἀδελφοῖς ἑορταστικὴν αὖθις ἐπιστέλλει γραφὴν, καὶ ἐπὶ ταύτῃ ἄλλας διαφόρους πάλιν διατυποῦται. φέρεται δέ τις αὐτοῦ καὶ περὶ σαββάτου, καὶ ἄλλη περὶ γυμνασίου.

After this letter too, when the affairs of the city were at peace, he again sent a festal letter to the brothers in Egypt, and after this he composed various others. There is extant also one of his on the sabbath, and another on exercise.
