Augustine, de Symbolo, i. 1 (Migne T. vi. p. 930), we learn that the Candidates were brought in before the Congregation one by one for exorcism; and so, as Cyril here shews, they had to wait outside till the others returned., let men be with men, and women with women.  For now I need the example of Noah’s ark:  in which were Noah and his sons, and his wife and his sons’ wives.  For though the ark was one, and the door was shut, yet had things been suitably arranged.  If the Church is shut, and you are all inside, yet let there be a separation, men with men, and women with women Chrys. in Matt. Hom. lxxiv. § 3:  “You ought to have within you the wall that separates you from the women:  but since ye will not, our fathers have thought it necessary to separate you at least by these boards; for I have heard from my elders that there were not these walls in old times.”  These barriers had not yet been introduced at Jerusalem, or Cyril’s admonition would have been needless.  Compare Apostolic Constitutions, II. 57.:  lest the pretext of salvation become an occasion of destruction.  Even if there be a fair pretext for sitting near each other, let passions be put away.  Further, let the men when sitting have a useful book; and let one read, and another listen:  and if there be no book, let one pray, and another speak something useful.  And again let the party of young women sit together in like manner, either singing or reading quietly, so that their lips speak, but others’ ears catch not the sound:  for I suffer not a woman to speak in the Church 1 Cor. xiv. 34; 1 Tim. ii. 12..  And let the married woman also follow the same example, and pray; and let her lips move, but her voice be unheard, that a Samuel 1 Sam. i. 13, 20.  On the various interpretations of the name Samuel, see Dict. Bib. “Samuel,” and Driver on the passage.  Cyril adopts the meaning “heard of God.” may come, and thy barren soul give birth to the salvation of “God who hath heard thy prayer;” for this is the interpretation of the name Samuel.
