To Eulogius the Oeconomus,

We have heard from many quarters of your piety's efforts on behalf of true religion. It is therefore only right that you should readily support someone being slandered for the same cause, and refute the liars' accusations.

You, revered sir, know what I believe and what I teach. No one has ever heard me preach two sons. Bring to bear, I implore you, your characteristic energy in this case as well, and stop the mouths of those who speak evil.

In battles like this one must help not only one's friends, but even those who have caused us pain.
