II.
From an Epistle to the Antinoites.
1232
Narcissus salutes you, who held the episcopate in
this district before me, who is now also my colleague and competitor in
prayer for you,
1233
and who,
having now attained to
1234
his hundred and tenth year, unites with
me in exhorting you to be of one mind.

In Euseb.,
Hist. Eccles.
, book vi. ch. xi.
1233
συνεξεταζόμενός
μοι διὰ τῶν
εὐχῶν
. Jerome renders it:
Salutat vos Narcissus, qui ante me hic tenuit episcopalem locum et
nunc mecum eundem orationibus regit.
1234
ηνυκώς
.
1235
The
text gives
ὁμοίως ἐμοὶ
φρονῆσαι
. Several
of the codices and also Nicephorus give the better reading,
ὁμοίως ἐμοὶ
ὁμοφρονῆσαι
,
which is confirmed by the interpretations of Rufinus and Jerome.
