Re: Clement of Alexandria
μὴ γὰρ ὕπνος σὲ ἐπικρατείτω πολὺς τῶν πρὸς θεὸν εὐχῶν τε καὶ ὕμνων θανάτῳ γὰρ ὁ μακρὸς ὕπνος ἐφάμιλλος.

Gregory N. Oration 42 Question
I answered my own question after further research, but could not figure out how to delete this post. So, here is an snippet from Gregory of Nazianzen to brighten your day. :lol: ὅσον ἐν ἄρχουσιν, ὅσον ἐν ἀρχομένοις, ἐνταῦθα πᾶσι καλῶς ἀρχομένοις: ὅσον ἐν στρατιώταις, ὅσον ἐν εὐγενέσιν, ὅσον ἐν λόγοι...
