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).

τῶν λογισμῶν, οἱ μὲν ἐκ τοῦ χρόνου μόνον· οἱ δὲ, ἐκ τοῦ χρόνου καὶ ἐκ τῆς κατ' ἐνέργειαν ἁμαρτίας τὸν ἄνθρωπον βλάπτουσιν· καὶ ἐκ τοῦ χρόνου μὲν μόνου, οἱ φυσικοί· ἐκ τοῦ χρόνου δὲ καὶ ἐκ τῆς ἐνεργείας, οἱ παρὰ φύσιν· κοινὸν γὰρ πάντων τῶν λογισμῶν τὸ βλάπτειν ἐκ τοῦ χρόνου.

Τῶν ἀκαθάρτων λογισμῶν, οἱ μὲν ἔξωθεν εἰσίασιν· οἱ δὲ ἐκ τῆς μνήμης γεννῶνται τῆς ψυχῆς· καὶ οἱ μὲν ἔξωθεν προϋπάρχουσιν τῆς ἑαυτῶν γνώσεως, οἱ δὲ ἔσωθεν μετὰ τὴν αὐτῶν γνῶσιν·

Λογισμὸς δαιμονιώδης ἐστὶ νόημα πράγματος αἰσθητοῦ, θυμὸν ἢ ἐπιθυμίαν παρὰ φύσιν κινῶν.

Χοῖρος βορβορώδης ἐστὶν ὁ τῆς πορνείας δαίμων, ὁ δὲ σύαγρος ὁ τῆς ὀργῆς ἐστίν· ὁ δὲ διασπῶν τοὺς ὀδόντας αὐτῶν ἐν δυνάμει θεοῦ τὴν δύναμιν αὐτῶν καταθραύσει.
