Translation: When this man[1] returned from India he spent time in
Antioch, not having any church assigned to him in particular, but being a sort of common [missionary] and allowed to visit all [churches] without fear as if they were his own. The emperor treated him as much as possible with all honor and respect, and everyone else whom he met received him with all goodwill and was amazed at the greatness of his virtue. For he was a man greater than one could make clear in words, like some image of the apostles. Indeed he is said to have raised a corpse of a certain person in
Antioch of Judea. Thalassios says this, one of those who were with the man for no little time, and very little to be suspected of falsehood in such matters; besides, he had not a few fellow-witnesses among those who were with him at the same time.
