120. Athanasius (tom. i. p. 677, 678 [tom. i. p. 239, ed.
Bened.]) defends his innocence by pathetic complaints,
solemn assertions, and specious arguments. He admits that
letters had been forged in his name, but he requests that
his own secretaries and those of the tyrant may be examined,
whether those letters had been written by the former or
received by the latter.
