228:1
Natalis dominici dies hac de causa a Patribus votivæ solemnitati institas at, etc. Desinit: Quemque ideo observare per revolutum circulum anni festa solemnitate debemus, ut in memoriam revocetur quod natus est Christus. Indicatur cod. 3786, a quo exscriptus, et sex aliorum codd. testimonio confirmatur sancto Maximo. Nisi iisdem laboraret ineptiis, inter dubios saltem locum haberet; sed neque illam in classem est traduceodus. Praeterea fragmentum potius quam sermo videtur.
'The day of the Lord's Nativity was for this reason instituted by the Fathers for a votive solemnity,' etc. It ends: 'And which therefore we ought to observe throughout the revolving cycle of the year with festal solemnity, that it may be called to remembrance that Christ was born.' Codex 3786 is indicated, from which it was copied, and it is confirmed by the testimony of six other codices as belonging to Saint Maximus. Were it not laboring under the same ineptitudes, it would at least have a place among the doubtful ones; but it must not be transferred even into that class. Moreover, it seems to be a fragment rather than a sermon.
「主降生之日因此緣故被眾教父定為還願的莊嚴慶節」等等。結尾為：「因此我們應在一年循環往復之際，以隆重的節慶謹守此日，好使人記念基督已降生。」所指乃 3786 號抄本，此篇即由該抄本抄出，又有另外六份抄本作證歸於聖馬克西姆斯。若非它也犯有同樣的拙劣，至少尚可列入存疑之屬；但即便那一類也不該移入。況且，它看來更像是一段殘篇，而非一篇講道。
