The Serpent And The Horse


Ὁ δόλους συμπλέκων,καὶ κεκρυμμένως καποποιῶν, ὄφις ἐστι, κατὰ τὴν Γραφὴν, ὁ καθήμενος ἐν ὁδῷ, καὶ δάκνων πτέρναν ἵππου..

Ἅγιος Μάρκος ὁ Ἐρημίτης, Περὶ Νόμου Πνευματικοῦ 

Source: Migne PG 65.919d
He who weaves wickedness and strikes while hidden is a serpent, one who, according to Scripture, bites the heel of the horse on the way. 1


Saint Mark The Ascetic, On The Spiritual Law.
