Note 1604 — THE PASTOR OF HERMAS.

Frederick Crombie translation

I have translated the Vat. reading here. The Greek seems to mean, “Do not partake of God’s creatures alone by way of mere relish.” The Pal. has, “Do not partake of God’s creatures alone joylessly, in a way calculated to defeat enjoyment of them.”

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
