Note:
Adler formatted this entry as headword plus glossing phrase, followed by a separate (unidentified) quotation. In fact, as a TLG search shows,
all this material -- again at
epsilon 785 and
epsilon 3671 -- comes from a passage in John Chrysostom's
Second Homily on Lazarus (PG 48.988); here it is first lightly paraphrased, then quoted (but note that JC's verb is future
kolaso/meqa, 'we will be punished').
St. John Chrysostom, On Wealth and Poverty, translated by Catharine P. Roth (Crestwood: St. Vladimir's Seminary Press, 1999) 49.
