Letter 33: The praises that are borne to us by the many who speak of you match what I already knew of your character.
Theodoret to Aphthonius.
The praises that are borne to us by the many who speak of you match what I already knew of your character. I rejoice to hear confirmed what I had long believed — that you are a man of integrity, wisdom, and devotion.
I am sending this letter by a trustworthy messenger, and through him I greet you warmly and commend to your care the bearer's errand. I am confident that your kindness will not disappoint, for generosity is second nature to those who fear God and honor their fellow men.
