ON SAINT DOROTHEUS
A Accusation of oneself, 407. If I am struck, brother, and seek that I have given no occasion, why must I accuse myself? 408.

Concerning conversations and conferences, 447. Composition, modest and pleasing to God, what it is, 465. To condemn, what it is, 402. Conscience, what it is, and from whom, and to what end it is, 388. A trodden-down conscience, it was necessary for the law, the prophets and the Gospel, ibid. Let us strive therefore to keep our conscience, lest if we reject it, we be reproved in many things by the Lord, 589. But for the diligence and keeping of the conscience there are many differences: for we have a relation of conscience to God, to our neighbor, and to things, ibid. If spiritual consolation is lacking, what must be done for a man, 20. Consolation for the sick and afflicted, 417. Custom. It is no small struggle to overcome the custom of oneself, 431. Contempt regarding humility, what it is, 457. What shall I do, since I fear the shame of contempt, 459. Contrition of heart, what it is, 457. Correction of a sinner, not to be done for the sake of vengeance, 458.
D Diet, what the rule for it ought to be, 447. Expositions and doctrines of the holy archimandrite Dorotheus, 371. What the manner of life and instruction of the holy Dorotheus was, 419, 426, 428. Index of the works of this holy archimandrite, 469.
[E] Almsgiving, what a great good and what a great grace it is, 443. That almsgiving can be done by all, 444. Saying of Evagrius, 429.
[F] By the name of firmament is also called the space which is between heaven and earth, 459. How brothers ought to be under their superiors, 450. Gastrimargia (gluttony), what it is, and from whence this word is derived, 446.
[G] The creation of the human race, its corruption and reformation through the law, 374. Through the incarnation, 375. A passage of Gregory Nazianzen concerning Pascha, explained by the holy Dorotheus, 459. Also another passage which is sung concerning the martyrs, 462.
[H] Of what utility humility is, 376. The contrary effects of this and of pride, 376, 377. The daughters of humility are: continual self-accusation, hatred of one's own will, loathing of one's own counsel and senses, 378. Concerning humility, the doctrine of the holy Dorotheus, 383. A certain senior says: Before all things we have need of humility. Let us inquire what this doctrine is, etc., 383. Attend to how great the power of humility is, ibid. Why he [the Lord] neither provoked humility, nor was ever provoked, 384. There are two kinds of humility, as likewise there are two kinds of pride, ibid. What the first and second humility are, 385.

J Sanctity of fasting, 415. Fasting is our tithing, ibid. How one should fast, ibid. Sanctity of a certain abbot John, 395. John the monk, disciple of Barsanuphius, why he was called a prophet, 433. Judgment of one’s neighbor is to be avoided, 402. It is one thing to speak ill, another to condemn, another to despise, ibid. Rash judgment exceeds every sin, 403. Nothing is graver than to judge and despise a neighbor, ibid. God alone is the one who undertakes judgment concerning individuals, as He alone knows all things, 404. Men are accustomed to judge their neighbor because charity is not in them, 405. Let us therefore cultivate humanity toward our neighbor in ourselves, let us flee from detraction, judgment, and contempt, 406. Example of the circle, ibid. Each one of us makes himself righteous, and anyone falls into whatever observance he makes of no law, and he extorts precepts from his neighbor, 410. The devil is wicked: he acts perversely when he mingles justice with our justice, 398.

No liar can adhere to God, for9 lying is alien to God, 415. There are three kinds of lying: in thought, in word, and in life, ibid.

P What the Pascha of Christ is, 459. On the Pascha, 457. Passion. On those who restrain passions, 421. And those who root out passions, 422. Let us strive to cut off passions from ourselves immediately, before they pass into a habit of the soul, 423. Certain examples pertinent to the matter, 424. How miserable it is to arrive at a habit of passion is shown by example, 426, 427. Let not passion disturb or afflict us; for to be afflicted by passion is a sign of ignorance and pride, 435. See Christ, Pascha. Abbot Pastor said that the wall between God and men is of brass, 398. Divine Basil distinguishes the sin of a holy man differently than that of a sinner, 435. We do not sin except from our greatest impatience: for God permits nothing in our lives to occur beyond our strength, 455. Before sin is committed in act, man is free, 436. The order of sin, 557. How we can be perfect, 448. How superiors ought to preside over their brethren, 450. Presumption occurs in three ways: by speech, by touch, by sight, 395. One must not trust in one's own prudence, 398. Nothing is more miserable, nothing can be more quickly conquered, than those who have no guides, no authors for the way of God, 398.

S What living sacrifices are, 463. On the sacrifices of the ancients, 463, 464. Which life is more expedient for salvation, 456. Who the blessed Basil hoped would be saved, 582.

How the spiritual building of the soul is to be constructed, 439, 440. There are two kinds of pride and humility, 584. There is monastic pride and lay pride, 385. Suspicions are most mendacious and harm all who have them, 416. The refutation and admonition of a suspicious person, 468.
T Disturbance (ταραχή), 411. The first (ἡ πρώτη), 412. Consolation and exhortation of a tempted man, 466. Temptations are to be borne manfully and with thanksgiving, 454. Abbot Pastor spoke excellently: that the sign of true monks appears mostly in the midst of temptations, ibid. If, in those things that happen adversely, one sins out of grief and anguish, how is he to be considered to believe that these things happen from God for his own utility and advantage, 455. Spirit/Wrath (θυμός), 411. On the fear of God, 390. There are two kinds of fear, isagogic and perfect, ibid. There are three conditions and states by which we are able to be pleasing to God, if we fear punishment, etc., 391. Who is to be judged to possess the fear of God, 593. Audacity (τολμηρία), 412.
V How one is to walk in the way of God, 418. Virtues are intermediate, and there is a royal way, 419. The doctrine is confirmed by examples, 420. Let us also speak of those who still their passions, 421. The building and harmony of the virtues of the soul, 459. Every virtue without humility is not reputed a virtue, 441. Let him who, with the help of God, wishes to arrive at a state of perfection, beware of saying or thinking that virtues are great, and that they cannot be approached by us, 441. Vices are by no means from nature in us: for they have no substance or hypostasis, 453. Abbot Poemen said that the will is a wall of brass between God and man, 398.
Z Apophthegm of Abbot Zosimus, 412.
