It happened, however, by the will of God, that there
came the Venerable EKulogius, Presbyter, son of the
good Hypatius, of worthy memory, on that evening
with the Pious Presbyter James. Seizing these per-
sons, also, the very next day, we hurried them off to
go to appear and give evidence (before the Judges).
But these, too, the Judges refused to admit, stating
(every time) that it was befitting and proper for others
to be summoned. ‘To this we have replied at length,

Excellency (to demand) of those, also, who were
found with us at Berytus, and all those who are cog-

they know of the matter.
6 The Jupcx said:-—

Whatever was said at Berytus by the God-fearing
Samuel, the Presbyter, the (Documentary) Acts
admit as evidence; but, what these other Venerable
Presbyters also have to inform us of, let them declare
if they will.
(a) The Venerable Maras, Presbyter, said:—
That is the case; the chief count was discussed;
and we request those, who have knowledge of it, to


speak.
