Ep. CXXII.

You owe me, even as a sick man, tending, for one of the commandments is the visitation of the sick.&#160; And you also owe to the Holy Martyrs their annual honour, which we celebrate in your own Arianzus on the 23rd of the month which we call Dathusa. &#160; And at the same time there are ecclesiastical affairs not a few which need our common examination.&#160; For all these reasons then, I beg you to come at once:&#160; for though the labour is great, the reward is equivalent.
