127 Laudat faciem, ad personam principum trahit. Literally, He praises the face (i.e. the person of Theophilus) and draws him on to act the part of (only fit for) princes.

128 Canon 6 says that the old customs are to hold good, that all Egypt is to be subject to the authority of the bishop of Alexandria, just as the custom holds at Rome; and similarly that at Antioch, and in the other churches the authority of the churches should be preserved to them. Canon 7 says: "Since custom and ancient tradition has prevailed to cause honour to be given to the bishop of Aelia (Jerusalem), let him have the proper results of this honour; saving, however, the proper authority due to the metropolis" (that is, Caesarea).

129 This relates to Paulinianus, who was ordained by Epiphanius, and was then living with him in Cyprus.

130 Theophilus, whose sympathies had suddenly changed, turned violently against Isidore, who had previously been his confidential friend, accused him of Origenism, and, on his taking refuge with Chrysostom at Constantinople, pursued both him and Chrysostom with unrelenting animosity.

131 Reading portantes errorem. Another reading is, "Through the error of the bearer."

132 John, to whom the letters were really written.

133 Isidore was closely associated with the three brothers known as the Long Monks from their great size, and seems to have shared the appellation with them.

134 i.e. Jerome and his friends. This was Isidore's report, incorporated probably into John's letter.

135 Numb. xxxv. 30; Deut. xvii. 6; 2 Cor. xiii. 1.

136 Dating probably from Jerome's coming to Palestine. See Prefatory Note.

137 Jerome was ordained at Antioch, Vincentius at Constantinople.

138 That is, Jerome argues, Epiphanius, who ordained him.

139 This perhaps means, "No virtue has gone out of you-you have conferred nothing upon me."

140 Lydda.

141 The allusion is believed to be to the Prefect Rufinus, who was at the head of the government under the young Arcadius, and whose intrigues with Alaric with a view to obtain the empire for himself led to his death in the end of 395.-Comp. Letter LXXXII. 10.

142 See Letter LI., which begins as John says, though Jerome denies it.
