Although we live far from you, we have fun, rejoice, rejoice, hearing about your exploits and the abundant generosity that you show to the poor. We would like to see your honesty face to face and, during a personal meeting, personally testify to you our great gratitude. Unfortunately, this is still impossible, because the danger from the Isaurians is increasing more and more, and all communication is currently blocked, and I am sure that if this were not the case, then you would not spare the trouble to come here and would come to us yourself. But since this is still impossible, here we are writing to you, applauding your honesty, and earnestly asking you, as soon as circumstances permit, to constantly write to us and notify us about the health of you and your entire home. Letters of this kind from your honesty will bring us considerable consolation in our life here. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” The present and the five following letters were written from Cucus in 404. You might be interested in:
