F Ratres , narrationem volo facere :
de- magno , inquam , & celebri Ba-
filio 5 & Ephraem Syro : & ea quidem, E
quæ fpedant ad Patrem noftrum } ipfe
vidi ; quæ autem ad fandum & exi-
mium Ephraem , ex veraci ejus ore au-
divi . Sic autem habent . Ubi Celebris
ille Ephraem agens in deferto , qua ex
Spiritus fandi illuftratione vidiflet , qua
ex defîdcrio & percontatione didiciflet ,
admiranda Patris noftri Bafilii opera j
Deum intente jugiterque orabat , ut ipfi
revelaret , qualis magnus Bafilius effet . F
In extafim ergo raptus , videt Columnam
ignis , cujus vertex attingebat coa-
lum : voxque de coelo audita e ft,
dicens : Ephraem , Ephraem : quem-
admodum vidifti Columnam ignis :
ejufmodi eft Magnus Bafilius . Et fta-
tim adhibito interprété , velut rudis
linguæ Græcæ , venit ad magnam

Not yortanjimus pondus diei, oejhon , _
nihil profecimus ; liic autem in tanto
comitatu , & honore humano ,
eft Columna ignis ? Plane miror .
Hæc itaque ipfo cogitante , mifit
ad cum Sandus Archidiaconum fuum ;
dicens : Vade ad portam , quæ rc-
fpicit Occidentem , ibique in ecclefiæ
C angulo reperies Abbatem , cucullam
habentem in capite , cum quodam
alio , raribarbium , pufîllum , & cæ-
tera vultus ejus , dicefque ci : Quæ-
fo , ingredere in facrarium : vocat
te Archiepifcopus . Archidiaconus autem
3 difeiffa multo labore populi
multitudine , venit ad locum , ubi fan-
dus Ephraem conftiterat , & ait il-
li : Benedic Domine ; velis ingredi
D in facrarium ; vocat enim te Pater
tuus Archiepifcopus . Ubi autem in-
tellexit per interpretem quod diceba-
tur , exeufavit , dicens : Erras , frater
; nos homines peregrini fumus ,
& ei ignoti . Rediens autem Archidiaconus
, nunciavit Magno Bafilio .
Porro 3 dum Bafilius libros facros
exponit populo 5 videt fandus E-
phraem linguam igneam ejus ore lo-
E quentem . Aitque rurfus Magnus Bafilius
Archidiacono : vade , & die ei : Domine
Ephraem ; velis ingredi ad facrum Al-
tare : vocat te Archiepifcopus. Et abiens
ad eum Archidiaconus , ejufque veftigiis
imprefïo ofeulo , dixit illi : Domine E-
phracm : quæfo , te accerfit Pater tuus
Archiepifcopus, ut ingrediaris in presbyterium.
Sandus ergo fuper his attonitus ,
dédit gloriam Deo : ac reverentiam faci-
ens , excipienfque , ait : Vere Magnus Bafilius
: Vere Columna ignis Bafilius :
Vere per os ejus loquitur Spiritus fandus.
Rogavit vero Archidiaconum , ut refpon-
deret , opportunius poft peradam rem
facram , falutaturum in fecretario. Poft
Miffam vero ingreffus Bafilius fecre-
tarium 5 eo fandum Ephraem accer-
fendum curavit ; danfque in Domino
