conjectures that the drive was to St. Eupsychius, but the day of St.
Eupsychius fell in September, which the Ben. note thinks too late
for the date of this letter. The memorials of St. Julitta and
St. Gordius were also near Cæsarea, but their days fell in
January, which the same note thinks too early. Gregory of
Nyssa (Migne iii. p. 653) says that there were more altars in
Cappadocia than in all the world, so that we need have no difficulty
in supposing some saint whose date would synchronize with the
letter. Basil, however, may have tried to drive to the shrine
of some martyr on some other day than the anniversary of his
death.
