Cyril of Alexandria: Fragments on Matthew · §70

Matthew 6:33

To those who seek the things of the soul God also gives what suits the bodies, so that we, not caring about such things more than we must, will not be hindered toward what is finest.

Greek

Ἐκ μεταφορᾶς τοῦτο εἴρηται τῆς ἐν τοῖς στρατοπέδοις σάλπιγγος· ἐκεῖνοι γὰρ ἐπὰν βούλωνται ὁμοῦ συνάγειν τὸν στρατόν, ἠχοῦσι τὸ ἀνα κλητικόν, οἱ δὲ ὑποκριταὶ οὐ συνάγειν βούλονται, ἀλλὰ θεατρίζεσθαι τοῖς πολλοῖς.
