43Et facta collatione, duodecim millia drachmas argenti misit Jerosolymam offerri pro peccatis mortuorum sacrificium, bene et religiose de resurrectione cogitans 44(nisi enim eos qui ceciderant resurrecturos speraret, superfluum videretur et vanum orare pro mortuis), 45et quia considerabat quod hi qui cum pietate dormitionem acceperant, optimam haberent repositam gratiam. 46Sancta ergo et salubris est cogitatio pro defunctis exorare, ut a peccatis solvantur.
