Chapter XXVIII.—Effort
of Innocent, Bishop of Rome, to recall John through a Council.
Concerning those who were sent by him to make Trial of the Matter. The
Death of John Chrysostom.
Innocent, bishop of Rome, was
very anxious, as appears by his former letter, to procure the recall of
John.1620

He sent five bishops and two presbyters of the Roman church, with the
bishops who had been delegated as ambassadors to him from the East, to
the emperors Honorius and Arcadius,
to request the convocation of a council, and solicit them to name time
and place. The enemies of John at Constantinople framed a charge as
though these things were done to insult the Eastern emperor, and caused
the ambassadors to be ignominiously dismissed as if they had invaded a
foreign government. John was at the same time condemned by an imperial
edict to a remoter place of banishment, and soldiers were sent to
conduct him to Pityus; the soldiers were soon on hand, and effected the
removal. It is said that during this journey, Basiliscus, the martyr,
appeared to him at Comani, in Armenia, and apprised him of the day of
his death. Being attacked with pain in the head, and being unable to
bear the heat of the sun, he could not prosecute his journey, but
closed his life in that town.
