239:1
Post illum sacrosanctum Domini Natalis diem nullius hominis nativitatem legimus celebrari nisi solius beuti Joannis Baptistae, etc. Desinit: Quis, inquam, nisi obediendo doctoribus, et vitiis et injustitiis ex cupiditate nascentibus resistendo, deflectendo peccata, et ea jejuniis atque eleemosynis redimendo, etc. Ut supenor pariter ab iisdem editoribus vulgatus est in appendice serm. sancti Augustini num. 65, pag. 565. Nihil ergo nos movet auctoritas cod. Parisien. 3785, qui sancti Maximi nomen defert inscriptum.
「在主降生那至聖之日以後，我們讀不到有任何人的誕生被慶祝，唯獨那有福的施洗約翰的誕生」等等。結尾為：「我說，除非藉著順服眾師傅、抵擋那從貪慾而生的諸惡與不義、遠離罪惡、並藉禁食施捨予以補贖」等等。與前篇一樣，它也被同一批編者刊入聖奧古斯丁講道附錄第六十五號，第五六五頁。因此，那題有聖馬克西姆斯之名的巴黎 3785 號抄本的權威，絲毫不能動搖我們。
'After that most holy day of the Lord's Nativity, we read of the birth of no man being celebrated except of the blessed John the Baptist alone,' etc. It ends: 'Who, I say, except by obeying teachers, and by resisting the vices and injustices born of covetousness, by turning away from sins, and by redeeming them through fastings and almsgivings,' etc. Like the preceding, it too was published by the same editors in the appendix of the sermons of Saint Augustine, number 65, page 565. Therefore the authority of the Paris codex 3785, which bears inscribed the name of Saint Maximus, does not at all move us.
