To this period may be referred Basil’s receipt of the letter from Athanasius, mentioned in Letter CCIV., § 6. Maran, Vit. Bas. viii. 8.  On the accession of Jovian, in June, 363, Athanasius wrote to him asserting the Nicene Faith, but he was greeted also by a Semiarian manifesto from Antioch, Soc. iii. 25. of which the first signatory was Meletius.
