Recipient of letter 150, addressed under the persona of Heraclides.
To Amphilochius, as from Heraclides
And I know that, if the bond of caring for your aged father did not hold you, you yourself would have preferred nothing to meeting the bishop, nor would you have advised me to leave him and wander into deserts.
except that I have in no way repented of my first impulse, nor does my soul flag toward the goal of the life that is according to God — which you feared on my behalf, doing rightly and fittingly for yourself, lest, turning back, I should become a pillar of salt, as a certain woman suffered, as I hear.
