90. The sedition of Antioch is represented in a lively and
almost dramatic manner by two orators who had their
respective shares of interest and merit. See Libanius (Orat.
xiv. xv. [xii. xiii.] p. 389-420, edit. Morel.; Orat. i. p.
1-14, Venet. 1754) and the twenty orations of St. John
Chrysostom, de Statuis (tom. ii. p. 1-225, edit.
Montfaucon). I do not pretend to much personal
acquaintance with Chrysostom; but Tillemont (Hist. des
Empereurs, tom. v. p. 263-283) and Hermant (Vie de St.
Chrysostome, tom. i. p. 137-224) had read him with pious
curiosity and diligence.
