[...to the twenty-fourth; and the men returned to A Alexandria. Al-Radi, having become angered at the vizier Mohammed Ebn Ali, replaced him in that office with Abderrahman Ebn Isa in the year three hundred and twenty-four. The Moslems, inciting a riot in the church of Jerusalem on the day of Hosanna, burned the southern doors of the church of Constantine, and half of the portico as well, in the year three hundred and twenty-five. There was then a certain patriarch of Ascalon, who had two sons and as many daughters, by the name of Christopher; the fire occurred on the first day of Pascha, while he was holding the patriarchate. They also destroyed the place of the Skull along with the [temple] of the Resurrection. Furthermore, Al-Radi, angered at Ali Abderrahman Ebn Isa, removed him from his position, appointing unto himself as vizier Al-Phadi Ebn Jaafar, in the year three hundred and twenty-five. And there was made between the Romans and the Moslems a peace welcome to all, in the year three hundred and twenty-six. In the same year, Theophylact, Patriarch of Constantinople, sent a legate to the patriarchs of Alexandria and Antioch, requesting that mention of his name be made in their prayers B and in the performance of the sacred rites. Since this had ceased to be done from the time of the Ommiads, they agreed to this matter.
Thus far reaches the history of Said Ebn Batrik the physician, who is the same as Anba Eutychius, of the Melchite sect, who was appointed patriarch of the city of Alexandria in the year three hundred and twenty-one of the Moslem Hegira, in the sixty-second lunar year of his life. If, therefore, you wish to know the epoch of this book, and before how many years it was composed, begin your calculation from this era, namely from the day on which Said Ebn Batrik was appointed patriarch; which was the eighth day of the month of Safar, of the year of the Mohammedan Hegira three hundred and twenty-one. May God direct us to a good end.
Soli Deo Gloria.

A Melius Anonymus: "They act with a manner of speech and an unseemly practice, and with a kind of madness." Thus correctly. The continuator of Cedrenus says: "He took away the envy of that dignity." They receive both Testaments; but they add certain new prophets, celebrating a certain Montanus and Priscilla. B 19. Pepuzians, who are also called Quintilians, to whom are added the Artotyriti; two heresies. They are numbered with those mentioned above, that is, the Cataphrygians, but they hold some things different from them; and they exalt with divine honors Pepuza, a certain deserted town situated between Galatia, Cappadocia, and Phrygia, saying that it is Jerusalem. There is also another Pepuza. They confer magistracies and priesthoods upon women. They perform sacred rites, piercing a child with bronze needles, as the Cataphrygians are accustomed to do, and from his blood mixed with flour, they prepare bread, and become partakers of the oblation. They feign that Christ once appeared in Pepuza to Quintilla, or even to Priscilla.

...they notice. Fearing that their entire race might gradually overflow into our own, and that they might incite the nations to take up arms, Michael directs his legate to return, and to send forces from the East as quickly as possible. Yet, he encountered an implacable enemy where he expected to find a supporter and ally in war. For after that bragging of words and the threats leveled against the Romans, by which he claimed he would cause a slaughter of men, ravage fields, cut down trees, burn houses, and make an irruption like a river torrent with violent force against us, and bring all under the yoke, the emperor, emboldened by the expedition already undertaken, had restrained these Barbarian threats that exceeded all measure, and had all but forced them to remain within their own borders, and not to burst forth from there to ravage Roman fields. D And as Michael challenged him frequently, having drawn up his line of battle against him, he had refused the gamble of combat by suppressed audacity, or rather, he recognized his own strength and did not dare to raise a hand against the emperor. It seemed sufficient to Michael that he had confined that barbaric ferocity and rashness, as if within their own boundaries, without a battle, the outcome of which is uncertain. "For when," he was saying, "we cannot provoke those on whose forces we rely to commit to battle, but rather force them to decline it and remain within their own borders, what necessity is there to force them to test Mars?"
So, while Michael was considering gradually withdrawing his foot and returning little by little to Roman soil, the matter appeared unworthy to Leo, nor in accordance with the majesty of a Roman emperor, to turn his back to the enemy. For Leo was saying that this was the emperor's excellent plan, which, in truth, he did not rightly or sincerely judge, but with a plan full of deceit and artifice, was intent only on this: to transfer the sum of affairs unto himself. "Come," he said, "O Emperor, and let us advance our standards against them; and you shall see me today openly exert my strength and power against the enemy, and you, trusting in my nod and prayers, will see me fighting strenuously in the first ranks, and clearly coming out the victor." By these words, Michael, moved away from his own contrary opinion, ordered battle to be joined. And soon, in the very first engagement, Leo turns his back and takes to flight—he who had been continuously meditating tyranny, a plan of his that had hitherto eluded both Michael and the enemy. Because nothing of this sort had happened previously, such as the force of battle is wont to bring, and neither line had performed a deed of war, but the first conflict itself was turning, and the parties had hardly noticed that the conflict had begun—to both the Bulgarians and to all the rest, the matter seemed to be a ruse, as is the custom of enemies; namely, that by drawing them away from their battle line, and finally, by turning about from flight to face them, they desired to rush in—but when both lines had nothing...

And just as from the rising of the sun all things are illumined without any delay, and in the air that surrounds us, as though arranged in their own place upon the strings of a lyre, even if they are somewhat further removed, they are moved together with the others as light, and become participants of it: just as finally that Phthas who is called Vulcan is so kindled that the intermediate air does not burn: so also the body is transformed and at the same time is kindled by the soul and is illumined, and is filled with its faculties, and with those things by which it might attain the knowledge of things, and with those by which it might bring forth that which is like unto itself. Nor indeed is that gradually diffused through the members of the body, nor does it occupy the heart first, or the liver, or the brain, and from there flow through the other parts; but it embraces the whole at once, and illuminates it with a poured-out light. But the chains by which it is bound to the body are these: the ratios of harmony, A and the decrees of the forms, by which both the universal and the singular nature operate, then the enunciative reason itself, and the concepts, and the perfection, and in addition the continuity of the body itself, together with the aptitude of the body, which, as the faculties yield to stronger ones, are not a little diminished from day to day. In that very encounter operate the prefectures of the angels, which at the same time all prepare the soul with the body, and B they took hold of his feet, as Matthew has recounted—but at that time indeed he did not forbid [it], providing assurance through touch that he is not a phantom; now, however, he does not permit it, because she had forgotten that vision and that touch, and disbelieved. "Go to my..." And yet he was not about to ascend immediately, but after forty days. How then does he say to her, "I ascend"? By leading her mind further, and still confirming that he is higher and more divine, and persuading her to attend to him more reverently for the future. For the word "I ascend" and the word "I will ascend" signify that which is able to extend for a longer time. He reminds the disciples of what he had often said to them before he was betrayed. He called them brothers, as he also was human, and their kinsman according to the human [nature]. But in one way he called the Father his own Father, and in another way [that of] the disciples; his own, by nature as being of the same essence; [those] of the disciples, by the reason of creation and providence, as being counted worthy of creation and providence. [And he called God both his own and of the disciples, as of humans.] And why did he not say simply, "And our God," but even there he distinguished himself? Because, even if he became human and their brother by the nature of humanity, yet he differed much from them in dignity, both because of the union of the divinity and because of [his] being without sin. "Mary Magdalene"—to her. And that he said these things to her, which clearly he has spoken to her. [Since, then, he knew the disciples hearing these things to be either disbelieving of the woman, just as before, or believing, as also Peter and John were coming together, from what they saw [being] grieved that they were not deemed worthy of a sight of him, he appears to them on the same day. For first he exercised their desire, then he offered himself as more desirable to them, who were already thirsting for him.] Being evening. He came in the evening, when they were more afraid and when they were gathered. And the doors he did not strike, that they might not be troubled, but he entered though they were closed, as God, and as [one] whose body had already become fine and light and incorruptible. He stood in the midst, that he might be visible to all. And "peace to you." That is, be not troubled. And even dying he left peace to them: "For peace I leave to you, I give to you." Thus to the women disciples he gave joy before every word. For sorrow...
