Iconium is a city of Pisidia, anciently the first after the greatest, i.e. Antioch. and now it is capital of a part, consisting of an union of different portions, and allowed the government of a distinct province.  Iconium too calls me to visit her and to give her a bishop; for Faustinus He was succeeded by John I.  cf. Letter clxi. and note. is dead.  Whether I ought to shrink from consecrations over the border; what answer I ought to give to the Sebastenes; what attitude I should show to the propositions of Evagrius; all these are questions to which I was anxious to get answers in a personal interview with you, for here in my present weakness I am cut off from everything.  If, then, you can find any one soon coming this way, be so good as to give me your answer on them all.  If not, pray that what is pleasing to the Lord may come into my mind.  In your synod also bid mention to be made of me, and pray for me yourself, and join your people with you in the prayer that it may be permitted me to continue my service through the remaining days or hours of my sojourning here in a manner pleasing to the Lord.
