CXVI. BASIL, ANOTHER BISHOP asil, bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia,1 which was formerly called Mazaca, composed excellent works: Against Eunomius;2 a work, On the Holy Spirit;3 nine Homilies on the Hexameron;4 an j Askhtikovn;5 and other various short works.6 2. He died in the reign of the emperor Gratian.7 notes 1. A rather curt entry; in the Chron. under a.d. 376 (ed. Helm, 248e), we read what may be the reason for his antipathy: “Basil of Caesarea the bishop of Cappadocia was a famous man. By the one fault of pride he ruined his many good qualities of chastity and talent” (trans. Donalson, 55–56). 2. Q 3, 209–210; Dr, 229; text in SC 299; for Against Eunomius cf. Dihle, Greek and Latin, 549, who dates it to 364; the work contains five books, the last two of which belong to Didymus. 3. Q 3, 210–11; Dr, 230–31. Text: SC 17, 19682 , ed. B. Pruche. 4.
