To Cæsarius, brother of
Gregory. Cæsarius
was the youngest brother of Gregory of Nazianzus. After a life
of distinguished service under Julian, Valens, and Valentinian, he
was led, shortly after the escape narrated in this letter, to retire
from the world. A work entitled Πύστεις, or
Quæstiones (sive Dialogi) de Rebus Divinus,
attributed to him, is of doubtful genuineness. Vide D.C.B.
s.v. The earthquake, from the effects of which
Cæsarius was preserved, took place on the tenth of October,
368. cf. Greg. Naz, Orat. x.
