Gregory of Nyssa · Comentário Patrístico (catena)

Salmos 6:5

For he who has made the inheritance known has also mentioned the octave, which becomes both the boundary of the present time and the beginning of the age to come. Now the characteristic feature of the octave is that it no longer affords those who are in it opportunity to procure things good or bad, but one hands over instead the sheaves from whatever seeds he has sown for himself through his works. For this reason he prescribes here that the one who is exercised in the same victories effect repentance, as such zeal is idle in hades. — ON THE INSCRIPTIONS OF THE PSALMS 2:11.146-47
