2. We were to have met the bishops of Cappadocia
Secunda, who, directly they were ranked under another prefecture,
suddenly got the idea that they were made foreigners and strangers to
me. They ignored me, as though they had never been under my
jurisdiction, and had nothing to do with me. I was expecting too
a second meeting with the reverend bishop Eustathius, which actually
took place. For on account of the cry raised by many against him
that he was injuring the faith, I met him, and found, by God’s
grace, that he was heartily following all orthodoxy. By the fault
of the very men who ought to have conveyed my letter, that of the
bishop was not transmitted to your excellency, and, harassed as I was
by a multitude of cares, it escaped my memory.
