II. The Letters, of
which two hundred and forty-three are extant, are characterised by a
clear, concise, and pleasant style and spirit. Some of them treat
of the theological questions of the day, as for example the two to
Cledonius, and one to Nectarius his Successor in the See of
Constantinople; these deal with the Apollinarian errors. Most of
them however are letters to private friends; sometimes of condolence or
congratulation, sometimes of recommendation, sometimes on mere general
subjects of interest. To this section must be ascribed his Will,
which is probably genuine.
