Translation:
[Letter] of Julian the Apostate[1] to Porphyry, Supervisor of Accounts.[2] "The library of George was a very rich and large one, [with books] of all sorts of philosophers and of many historians, and not least there was among them many and miscellaneous books of the Galilaeans.[3] Seek out this library, therefore, and take care to send the whole of it to Antioch, recognising that it is you who will incur the worst punishment if you do not track it down with the utmost care. [Take care] also to remove the books from those who are objects of even the least suspicion; [use] all [possible] scrutinies, and oaths of every kind, and -- if you are not able to persuade -- by further torturing the domestics compel them to bring everything out into the open."

Notes:
[1] Julian, Letter 106, about searching out Christian books in private libraries (in this instance that of George, Arian bishop of Alexandria in 361). For Julian see generally iota 437.
[2] Katholikos is equivalent to Latin terms such as procurator a rationibus and rationalis summarum: see LSJ s.v.
[3] Generally, for "Christians": gamma 37.
