55. After the exile of Chrysostom, Theophilus published an
'enormous' and 'horrible' volume against him, in which he
perpetually repeats the polite expressions of hostem
humanitatis, sacrilegorum principem, immundum daemonem; he
affirms that John Chrysostom had delivered his soul to be
adulterated by the devil; and wishes that some farther
punishment, adequate (if possible) to the magnitude of his
crimes, may be inflicted on him. St. Jerom, at the request
of his friend Theophilus, translated this edifying
performance from Greek into Latin. See Facundus Hermian.
