36. The restoration of the Pagan worship is described by
Julian (Misopogon, p. 346), Libanius (Orat. Parent. c. 60,
p. 286, 287, and Orat. Consular. ad Julian. p. 245, 246,
edit. Morel.), Ammianus (xxii. 12), and Gregory Nazianzen
(Orat iv. p. 121). These writers agree in the essential, and
even minute, facts; but the different lights in which they
view the extreme devotion of Julian are expressive of the
gradations of self-applause passionate admiration, mild
reproof, and partiai invective.
