Letter 249
Late Antiquity Basil of Caesarea Greek- Without address, on behalf of a devout man.
I rejoice with this brother, both that he is being delivered from the tumults here and that he is reaching your Reverence. For he has chosen for himself a good provision for the age to come, a good way of life among those who fear the Lord. We commend him to your Honour, and I beg you to pray, through him, for our pitiable life, that, delivered from these trials, we may begin to serve the Lord according to the Gospel.
