Theophylact of Ohrid — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 18:1-8

Orthodox 1107
Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
“We may observe, that irreverence towards man is a token of a greater degree of wickedness. For as many as fear not God, yet are restrained by their shame before men, are so far the less sinful; but when a man becomes reckless also of other men, the burden of his sins is greatly increased. It follows, And there was a widow in that city.”
