[sc. An image applied to] the law in the Holy Scripture. And Christ [says]: "take up my yoke, because it is good, and my load [is] light.'¹
And David says that the weight of the law [is] a yoke.²

Ζυγός· ὁ νόμος παρὰ τῇ θείᾳ γραφῇ. καὶ ὁ Χριστός· ἄρατε τὸν ζυγόν μου, ὅτι χρηστός ἐστι, καὶ τὸ φορτίον μου ἐλαφρόν. καὶ ζυγὸν τὴν τοῦ νόμου βαρύτητά φησιν ὁ Δαβίδ.
