residence at Jerusalem, her devotion, alms, etc., see
Socrates (1. vii. c. 47) and Evagrius (1. i. c. 20, 21, 22).
The Paschal Chronicle may sometimes deserve regard: and, in
the domestic history of Antioch, John Malala becomes a

the fertility of Palestine, of which I have only seen an
extract, calculates the gifts of Eudocia at 20,488 pounds of
gold, above 800,000 pounds sterling.
