Homily V. is on Julitta, a lady of Cæsarea martyred
in 306, and commemorated on July 30. (In the Basilian menology,
July 31.) Her property being seized by an iniquitous magistrate,
she was refused permission to proceed with a suit for restitution
unless she abjured Christianity. On her refusal to do this she
was arraigned and burned. She is described as having said that
women no less than men were made after the image of God; that women as
well as men were made by their Creator capable of manly virtue; that it
took bone as well as flesh to make the woman, and that constancy,
fortitude, and endurance are as womanly as they are manly.
