4 Bishop of Caesarea.

5 Bishop of Ancyra, who had taken an active part at the Synod of the Oak.

6 Except the military escort, whose presence and whose resourcelessness are taken for granted.

7 By the false alarm of Isaurian brigands, which Euethins also took for truth.

8 Here the MSS. add ‘rhetoricians’—probably a gloss, as Professor Tierney suggests.

9 Letters 2 and 3 of the complete collection.

10 The meaning here is uncertain; a suggested emendation would give the sense ‘abdicate’.

11 Literally, ‘draw him out of the pit’. This missionary bishop, a Goth by birth, was not at home among the intrigues of the capital, and might be beguiled by Chrysostom's enemies.
