4th cent. C.E.

"Holy trinity, holy trinity, holy trinity. Through the holy martyrs I pray to the Lord. For even the angel is not ignorant of our suffering; thus bear witness to the fact that Theodosius has a tyrannical temper. I have suffered utter adversity as a result of his tyrannical way, without finding aid, except for strength from the Lord and witness to me through the saints. Through them I flee to you, and weeping I look to your holiness, in order to behold your might; how much malice he has done me. For weeping(?), I have suffered utter evil at his hand. Lord, do not disregard this and do not stand by him, this Theodosius, as I mentioned before; and do not neglect me, since alone the Lord is God, in the son and in the father and in the holy spirit, forever and ever. Amen, Amen, Amen, Amen.
