Saint-cultus is an element which mingles in the subject-matter proper to historians, liturgiologists and archaeologists. Sometimes they are tempted to draw conclusions with regard to questions belonging to their own fields of study in dependence upon the estimate which they have formed of some hagiological situation. Only too often the hagiological situation differs in some way from their idea of it, and the conclusion which they have reached is accordingly unsound.

In the Funeral Oration on St. Ephraem attributed to Nyssen the passage from the Testament is reproduced in a form which very closely resembles the passage in the Panegyric.

30 ἀλλoτρίων τάϕων is another example of the ‘plural of vagueness,’ and may be translated ‘of some tomb made for another.' The omission of τάϕων leaves ἀλλoτρίων πάρoικoς as a colourless phrase continuing the idea of ‘stranger and sojourner’ μετὰ θάνατoν.

page 248 note 51 This exorcism is in the Gregorovitch MS. 819, and is headed, A Prayer for deliverance from all evil, and from the power of the enemy, and against the aura of the evil demon. There follow three forms, of which the first lays a spell upon any aviso of the demon, on the masculine aura and the feminine aura, on the aura of water and the aura of blood, of cooked food and of cold food, the aura of cattle and the aura of adjuration and any kind of aura. ‘It turns back with the terrible sickle the tongue and tail and talons of the demon so that he cannot make them straight again, nor move his tail.’; The spell then invokes three hundred angels to hurl thunderings and lightnings upon the unclean spirits, and then passes into exorcism. ‘Hark you, Harmful One, let go and depart from the servant of God, N, and from his house.’
The second form is for maladies of the head, and binds the aura of any beast, even asp or basilisk, or the aura of burning fire or of blood, and so on. It is in oratio obliqua as follows: This aura came out of the deep and the chief archangel Michael met her and said to her, Whence comest thou and whither goest thou? Thou black aura, turn thee back, hairy head! And she said, I go to eat the bones of the man N and to break up his body. And the archangel Michael said to her, Mayest thou have no power at all to eat this man's bones or to break up his body, but may the Lord God pour down upon thee from heaven fire to destroy thy malice. Depart thou to the deep; depart from the limbs and from the bones of the servant of God N!
The third form is against the aura that may be encountered in travel or that crosses one's path, the (masculine) aura of the serpent, the aura of the spring, the aura of noonday and of the road: Depart and go forth from the servant of God N and from his flesh and from his bones. Depart to the high mountain and hide in the dragon and eat his bones and drink his blood. Return not to the servant of God N nor into his house.
The Thaumaturge is only mentioned as one of the saints empowering the exorcisms, and one may conjecture that the visits of Russian pilgrims to Hagia Sophia may be the explanation of his presence here.

Salzenberg's Altchristliche Baudenkmale von Constantinopel (1864) is an unreliable book, but the author had the opportunity of ascending the scaffolding in the south wall while the mosaics were uncovered. ‘Ignatius Oneos’ gives the measure of the historical insight of the architects, but helps to confirm the dating of the mosaics in question. The Patriarch Ignatius was the favoured of Rome against Photius, and his honouring as the ‘New’ St. Ignatius is in accord particularly with the ecclesiastico-political situation of the reign of Basil II.

page 263 note 82 In the Bυζἀντινoν 'Eoρτoλóγιoν (N. Gedeon, 1899). November 17 is devoted to Lazarus Zographus. Professor D. S. Balanos, of Athens, told the present writer in 1932 that he did not know of any existence of cultus-interest in the Thaumaturge among the present-day Orthodox.
page 263 note 83 Some further indications of the position occupied by the Thaumaturge in Constantinopolitan thought are as follows: In the sixth century, the African correspondents with the imperial city in the affair of the Three Chapters, Facundus of Hermiane and Liberatus, Deacon of Carthage, bring what little they know about the Thaumaturge into play, and each mentions his Greek title Θαυματoυργóς (Facundus, M.P.L. 67, 787 and Liberatus, M.P.L. 68, 991). By this title he is named in the second section of the First Canon of the Trullan Council of 692 (Mansi, XI, 940 E). Germanus, Patriarch of Constantinople, 715–730, driven out by the Iconoclasts, in his De Haeresibus, treats the Revealed Creed as the ‘knock-out blow’ for Arianism (M.P.G. 98, 48–49). George the Syncellus of Tarasius, Patriarch of Constantinople, 784–806, began a Chronographia from the time of Diocletian, but he died before completing it. Theophanes subsequently continued from the point where he left off. Some of George survives in the Historia Ecclesiastics of Anastasius Bibliothecarius, including a passage in which George considers the anomaly that Eusebius should not relate the miracles of the Thaumaturge, and accepts as the only solution that Eusebius was so infected with the errors of Origen and Arius that the glory of Gregory was distasteful to him. Nicetas Choniates, 12th—18th century, makes the Revealed Creed the starting point of his theology, Thesaurus, Liber II, c. 32; M.P.G. 139, 1168. The Menology of Basil II made a hagiographical knowledge of the Thaumaturge general in the 10th century. (See his μνήμη, M.P.G. 117, 165 B.)
page 264 note 84 The iconographic evidence for Byzantine interest in the Thaumaturge belongs to the period between the 10th and 12th centuries. Examples are the beautiful ikon reproduced as frontispiece in Sagarda, belonging to the 11th century, two ivory diptychs of the mid 10th century published by A. Goldschmidt and K. Weitzmann, Die Byzantinischen Elfenbeinskulpturen (1934), and the mosaic of the reign of Basil II in the Catholicon of 'Oσως Λoυκάς at Stiris; O.

Priess of Magdeburg in the following year (Z. f. B., 1904, pp. 441–448). Strzygowski stood by his view in his Kleinasien, which appeared in 1903 (pp. 221 ff.); Groeschel replied at length in the Z. f. B. in 1904, and the editor then closed the discussion.

Agresta calls the place Chigliodromi, which is recognizable as the old name of Ikos, Kheliodromi, and mentions two other island houses of the Basilian order that had been dedicated to a St. Gregory unspecified. Agresta was Roman Archimandrite-general of the Basilian order, and it is to be presumed that the bouses of which he had such knowledge were formerly in some way related to the Basilianism of the West.

page 282 note 44 This was realized by one Domenico Martire, of Cropani, who proceeded in a thorough and modern way to collect the local antiquities of Calabria, at some time in the middle 17th century. He left manuscript which was published at Cosenza in 1876 under the title La Calabria Sacra e Profana. He knew of a great deal of unpublished matter on Calabria written by Cardinal Sirleto. In his Book II, c. 5, note 13, he discusses the topography of Cassiodore's monastery, and decides that the ‘chiesetta sotto il titolo di S. Maria Vetere’ surrounded by signs of other buildings, on a promontory at the foot of which beats the sea, is part of the site; and that the two monasteries of S. Maria Vetere, and San Gregorio di Stalletti represent the dual monastery of Cassiodore. His description of the position of S. Maria Vetere shews that it is the same as Romano's S. Maria del Mare.

page 291 note 24 The way had been pioneered by the Dialogi of the Englishman Alanus Copus, published at Antwerp in 1566. Centuriae, Book III, c. 18 attacks Rufinus for his stories about the Thaumaturge; Narrationes de Gregorio mendaces et superstitiosas, quales monachorum otiosum genus finxit. To the Centuriasts, Rufinus' additions appeared typical monkish corruption of good church history. Copus beat them by knowing Nyssen. The Dissertatio de S. Gregorio Thaumaturgo, of J. L. Boye, Jena, 1709, of which a copy is in the Bodleian, under the class-mark Diss. K. 112, shews knowledge of the strong Roman interest in the Thaumaturge, and its reason. The Jesuit Peter Halloix was at one time promising to publish a Life of the saint.
page 291 note 25 Hymnorum libri tres in universos sanctos, quos hodierni Breviarii Calendarium continet. The hymn for the Thaumaturge is on p. 199. The preoccupations of the age ring out in the last verse:
Seu tuis miris, prece seu potenti
Haereses fac in tenebras recedant.
Utque, sub nostro cadat ense fractus
Barbarus hostis.
Obrizius' Hymnorum libri septem in Christi Jesu, Virginis Deiparae, divorumque gloriam was printed at Orchies, near Lens, and is used, for example, by Tamayus de Salazar in his work on Spanish saints. The hymn Fulserit haec sine nube dies occupies pp. 213–215.

His book was published by Ottavio Beltrano, but neither the Biblioteca Nazionale, nor the Universitaria, nor the Gerolomini at Naples has a copy. Connections between Squillace and Naples were not wanting, and in particular the Theatine Marcello Megalio (1591–1643) from Squillace was resident in Naples at the same time as Grasso. An incentive may therefore have come from Squillace.

page 293 note 29 The Calabrian writer Romano, ten years before Falcone, uses this catchword, and says that St. Gregory is invoked under this title in many places. It may be of Neapolitan origin.
page 239 note 30 At this stage in the Counter-reformation such a movement gave to the educated the feeling of the power of Holy Church to ‘bring out of her treasures things new and old’ (Matt. 13. 52), whence its value in the hands of the Theatines.

Gourdain was a Canon-regular of St. Victor and died in 1729. The hymn Non obsolescet Gregorii fides is on p. 882.
page 296 note 40 Of the continuance of a special interest in Naples itself there is evidence in the reprint in 1793 by Paolo Severino of Naples of Falcone's Compendio (without acknowledgment), changing only the rubrics of the Soliloquies to make them serve daily for a week for any person, and not seven Wednesdays for different classes of persons.
The taking by Neapolitan ecclesiastics, when made prelates in partibus, of the titular archbishopric of Neocaesarea may reflect the same interest; e.g., Gregorio Carbonelli, under Paul V (Aceto, op. cit., p. 74), and Cardinal Mario Alberico, in 1674.
page 296 note 1 The substance of this section is predominantly drawn from the little book of Raimundo Romano described in this section.

page 308 note 17 The restorers had thus, before 1644, had recourse to Naples. D'Amato, op. cit., p. 229, while saying that in 1644 the churches were trapazzate con indecoro, attributes the iconoclasm to the second landing, in 1645.
page 308 note 18 D'Amato states categorically that the Turks were led by an Italian renegade, with a score to pay off. Romano mentions that there were various such conjectures.
page 310 note 19 Which they sacked, as also Gasparina (D'Amato).
page 310 note 20 M.P.G. 46, 948. But the account of the Turks' movements is irreconcìlable with the supposition that it was a slave-raid.
page 312 note 21 Speculum Historiale, Book ix, c. 87. As Romano knows, this is in the Legenda Aurea, also, of Giacomo di Voragine (Book ii). The Studite does not say that the four saints came from the same place as the Apostle, but merely that they had been cast out by the heathen for a like σημειoύργια. The legend as regards St. Bartholomew, but not his companions, was known to Gregory of Tours in the 6th century. M.P.L. 71, 734.
page 312 note 22 He had Symeon Metaphrastes on St. Bartholomew ‘apportato dal P. Tommaso Trugillo nel suo Santuario.’ This is the Spaniard Tomas de Truxillo, who flourished at the end of the 16th century. His Conciones, printed in Barcelona, 1591, were popular, and a book on dress, translated into Italian, was published at Venice in 1610 under the title Delle Pompe.

Those at Avila he says were from Squillace (cujus sacra pignora primum ad Scyllaceum litus delata), and adds that he had their authentication under the hand of Sanchez d'Avila y Toledo, bishop of Plasencia. Sanchez held Plasencia for the last three years of his life, 1622–1625. Thus the identification of Sant' Agazio of Squillace with the Studite's Acacius got to Avila with a relic from Squillace by the beginning of the 17th century. And Romano seems to imply that he got the theory from de Truxillo, whose name is derived from a village in the diocese of Plasencia. Thus there are two strands of Spanish evidence of the Squillace interpretation of the Studite legend before the end of the 16th century, when the Sirletos were in office. G. Fiore, Delia Calabria Illustrata (1743), p. 189, reproduces the whole theory, and flouts the Messinese view.

In Roman times it was Scyllaceum Minervaeum. It is likely enough that Vulcan was associated in this patronate against shipwreck, and the Thaumaturge seems thus to succeed to it.
