''CV. To Eulogius the &#338;conomus.''

We have heard from many sources of your piety&#8217;s efforts on behalf of true religion. It is therefore right that you should readily succour one who is calumniated for the same cause, and should refute the reviler&#8217;s lies. You, O godly Sir, know what I hold, and what I teach, and that no one has ever heard of my preaching two sons. Exert, I implore you, in this case too your divine energy, and stop the mouths of the evil speakers. In conflicts of this kind one must help not only one&#8217;s friends but even those who have caused us pain.
