Philo and Agathopus the deacons salute you. I salute the company of virgins, and the order of widows ; of whom may I have joy ! I salute the people of the Lord, from the least unto the greatest. I have sent you this letter through Euphaniiis the reader, a man honoured of God, and very faithful, happening to meet with him at Rhegium, just as he was going on board ship. Remember my bonds, ^ that I may be made perfect in Christ. Fare ye well in the flesh, the soul, and the spirit, while ye think of things per- fect, and turn }'ourselves away from the workers of iniquity, who corrupt the word of truth, and are strengthened inwardly by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.
