The work termed Skemmata, or Reflections, is a loose, fluid compliation of other works by Evagrius. Sixty-five sentences are divided in three sections: 39 called Gnostic chapters (but not to be confused with the Kephalaia gnostika), 23 from On Thoughts, and 3 unparalleled (and so termed a supplement). The Greek, Armenian, Arabic, and Syriac versions of this text differ in sequence, number, and selection. This text, according to Mar Babai (569-628), who wrote an extensive commentary on the Kephalaia gnostica, was a supplement to the 540 chapters of the 600 promised (Mar Babai's version of Reflections contained only 60 chapters). Gennadius's reference to 'sententiae obscurae' may attest to an early Latin translation of this text. See also 14 Chapters (nocpg02).

Εἴ τις βούλοιτο ἰδεῖν τὴν τοῦ νοῦ κατάστασιν, στερησάτω ἑαυτὸν πάντων τῶν νοημάτων, καὶ τότε ὄψεται ἀυτὸν σαπφείρῳ ἢ οὐρανίῳ χρώματι παρεμφερῆ· Τοῦτο ποιῆσαι ἄνευ ἀπαθείας, τῶν ἀδυνάτων ἐστίν· Θεοῦ γὰρ χρεία συνεργοῦντος τοῦ ἀναπνέοντος αὐτῷ τὸ συγγενὲς φῶς.

Νοῦ κατάστασίς ἐστιν ὕψος νοητὸν οὐρανίῳ χρώματι παρεμφερής· ᾧ καὶ τὸ τῆς ἁγίας Τριάδος κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τῆς προσευχῆς ἐπιγίνεται φῶς.

Θυμιατήριόν ἐστι νοῦς καθαρὸς κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν τῆς προσευχῆς, μὴ ἐφαπτόμενος πράγματος αἰσθητοῦ. Κατὰ μὲν τὴν ἀρετὴν, ἓν ἐσόμεθα ἐν τῇ ὀγδόῃ ἡμέρᾳ· κατὰ δὲ τὴν γνῶσιν, ἐν τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ.

Προσευχή ἐστι κατάστασις νοῦ ὑπὸ φωτὸς μόνου γινομένη τῆς ἁγίας Τριάδος.
