The nineteenth Homily was delivered as the title has it, τῃ κυριακῃ της ἐπισωζομ™νης, or as Fronto Ducæus reads it, της σωζομ™νμς. Among the Cappadocians, ἐπισωζομ™νη is Ascension Day, as Allatius says in his book on the Sundays and Weeks of the Greeks, adding that the Sunday thus called is the fifth after Easter, i.e. the one which precedes the Ascension of our Lord. But Savile says that it is the first Sunday after Easter; from whence he got his information I know not. Yet there seems no doubt that it was some one of the last Sundays in Lent, or, as Tillemont supposes, Passion-Sunday, to which I rather incline. Chrysostom, who had been detained at home for some time by sickness, after he has prefaced his subject with some remarks on the Festival of the Martyrs, which had been just celebrated at Antioch, and on the arrival of the rustics, speaks according to his custom against oaths, and illustrates their pernicious effects by many examples.
