Tillemont supposes the reference to be to Gregory of Nyssa.  Maran, however (Vit. Bas. xxiv.), regards this as an error, partly caused by the introduction into the text of the word ἐμόν, which he has eliminated; and he points out the Gregory of Nyssa, however unwilling to accept consecration, never objected after it had taken place, and was indeed sent to Nazianzus to console the younger Gregory of that place in his distress under like circumstances.  Moreover, Gregory of Nyssa was consecrated in the ordinary manner on the demand of the people and clergy with the assent of the bishops of the province.  (cf. Letter ccxxv.)  Gregory the younger, however, was consecrated to Sasima without these formalities.
