(1.) Ὡρμημένον με πρὸς ὑμᾶς κατὰ πᾶσαν σπουδὴν καὶ μέχρις Εὐφημιάδος γενόμενον ἐπέσχεν ἡ σύνοδος ἣν αὐτόθι τελεῖτε τοῖς ἁγίοις μάρτυσι, καὶ τὸ μὴ μετασχεῖν ταύτης οἷόν τε εἶναι διὰ τὴν ἀρρωστίαν, καὶ ἄλλως βαρὺν ἂν γενέσθαι τῇ ἀκαιρίᾳ. (......)
‘To Gregory of Nyssa
I had set out in all haste to go to you, and had reached as far as Euphemias, when the festival you celebrate there for the holy martyrs checked me, both because I could not take part in owing to my ill health, and because the untimeliness might inconvenience you. (......)’
