Hoc egregie confirmatur ex concil. Laod. can. 50, quo dicitur δεῖ
πᾶσαν τὴν τεσσαρακοστὴν νηστεύειν ξηροφαγοῦντας. Hic enim per totam
quadragesimam, ac proinde nocturnas æque ac diurnas horas, jejunare
præcipitur; et tamen aridis vesci permittitur; vel potius per istius
modi ξηροφαγίαν, sive aridorum esum, totum hoc quadragesimale
jejunium celebrari constituitur. Alterum, quod objicit, est, quod
cum Irenæus dixerit, alios uno die, alios biduo, alios vero pluribus
diebus jejunare, quid necesse est addere alios 40 dies jejunare, cum
in eo quod plures dies dixit, quadraginta satis comprehendantur.
Respondeo, quod etiamsi nonnullos plures quam duos dies jejunare
dixerat, non tamen superfluum erat, eorum etiam, qui xl dies
jejunabant, mentionem facere. Cum enim a minimo jejunio, viz. unius
diei, inceperit, quidni in maximum quoque expresse desineret, ut
maximus viz. dierum numerus, quem quispiam in jejuniis observabat,
æque ac minimus innotesceret?
