⁹ Prov. xxix. 22 (LXX.) 0Anh\r qumw/dhj e0gei/rei nei=koj, a0nh\r de\ o\rgiloj e0cw/rucen a9marti/an. The old Latin as given by Sabatier has "Vir animosus parit zixas: vir autem iracundus effodit peccata." The verse is quoted by Gregory the Great in a passage which seems a reminiscence of Cassian's words with the reading effundit for effodit (Moral V. xxxi.) Jerome's rendering in the Vulgate is quite different: "Vir iracundus provocat zixas: et qui ad indignandum facilis est erit ad peccandum proclivior."
