[Footnote 50: Clerici qui hic sunt contristantur, quod
ecclesia Alexandrina nudata sit hujus causa turbelae: et
debet praeter illa quae hinc transmissa sint auri libras
mille quingentas. Et nunc ei scriptum est ut praestet; sed
de tua ecclesia praesta avaritiae quorum nosti, &c. This
curious and original letter, from Cyril's archdeacon to his
creature the new bishop of Constantinople, has been
unaccountably preserved in an old Latin version, (Synodicon,
c. 203, Concil. tom. iv. p. 465 - 468.) The mask is almost
dropped, and the saints speak the honest language of
interest and confederacy.]
