And again on another occasion certain first-fruits of wine were sent that it might be given to the brothers cup by cup, (i.e., a cup each). And one of the brothers went up to a roof, that he might escape from drinking, and it parted asunder beneath him, and he fell through it; and when the sound came [to the brothers] they went and found him lying [on the ground], and they began to think about him, and said, 'O lover of vainglory, this has befallen you rightly.' And an old man laid him out, saying to them, ' Forgive you my son, for he has done a good work. And, as the Lord lives, this breach will not be built up in my days, for all the world will know that because of a cup of wine a schism has taken place in Scete.'
