To Valerianus.

Orphanene,3236

district in Armenia Minor. Ramsay, Hist. Geog. A.M.
314. | to see your
excellency; I had also hoped that while you were living at
Corsagæna, there would have been nothing to hinder your coming to
me at a synod which I had expected to hold at Attagæna; since,
however, I failed to hold it, my desire was to see you in the
hill-country; for here again Evesus,3237

Ep. ccli. p. 291. Euassai or Evesus is about fifty
miles north of Cæsarea. | being in that
neighbourhood, held out hopes of our meeting. But since I have
been disappointed on both occasions, I determined to write and beg that
you would deign to visit me; for I think it is but right and proper
that the young man should come to the old. Furthermore, at our
meeting, I would make you a tender of my advice, touching your

be backward in coming to me.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
