On Pascha · §1.109

Shoes on the feet

He also says that those who chew the Passover are to have the shoes on their feet — which might seem to some a contradiction of what was used toward Moses. For since Moses was treading on holy ground, he is commanded to loose the shoe from his feet. How then, when the Passover too is holy, are those who chew it commanded to have their shoes bound on?

Greek

Λέγει καὶ τὰ ὑποδήματα ἐν τοῖς ποσὶν [ἔ]χειν τοὺς τρώγοντας τὸ π[ά]σχα, ὅπερ ἐναντίωμα τ[ο]ῖς χρησθεῖσιν πρὸς Μωϋσῆ[ν] δόξειέ τισιν εἶναι· ἐπεὶ γὰρ Μ[ω]ϋσῆς ἐφ' ἁγίαν ἐπάτει γ[ῆν], κελεύεται λῦσα<ι> τὸ ὑπό[δημ]α ἐκ τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ. [Π]ῶς οὖν, ἁγίου ὄντος καὶ τοῦ πάσχα, οἱ τοῦτο τ[ρ]ώγοντες ὑποδεδέσθαι κελεύονται τὰ ὑποδήματα αὐτῶν;
