To Abramius, bishop of
Batnæ
.
2440
Ever
since the autumn I have
been quite ignorant of the whereabouts of your reverence; for I kept
hearing uncertain rumours, some saying that you were stopping at
Samosata, and some in the country, while others maintained that they
had seen you at Batnæ. This is the reason of my not writing
frequently. Now, on hearing that you are staying at Antioch, in
the house of the honourable Count Saturninus, I have been glad to give
this letter to our beloved and reverend brother Sanctissimus, our
fellow presbyter,
by whom I salute
you, and exhort you, whereever you be, to remember firstly God, and
secondly myself, whom you determined from the beginning to love and to
reckon among your most intimate friends.
