Chapter XXX.—Of the church of the Goths.
It was
perceived by John that the Scythians were involved in the Arian net; he
therefore devised counter contrivances and discovered a means of
winning them over. Appointing presbyters and deacons and readers of the
divine oracles who spoke the Scythian tongue, he assigned a church to
them,918

error. He used frequently himself to visit it and preach there, using
an interpreter who was skilled in both languages, and he got other good
speakers to do the same. This was his constant practice in the city,
and many of those who had been deceived he rescued by pointing out to
them the truth of the apostolic preaching.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
