Letter cxxxvi., where it appears that Basil kindly nursed a
deacon Eustathius. The fact of an Eustathius being one of
Basil’s deacons is so far in favour of Basil’s having
written the letter. But Eustathius was a common name, and
Eustathius, a monk, is mentioned in the will of Gregory of
Nazianzus.
