PREFACE. 

The Coptic texts relating to the tortures and martyr- 
dom and miracles of Saint George printed in this book 
are edited from five manuscripts, three written in the 
Memphitic, and two in the Sahidic dialect. These MSS. 
are indicated in the following pages by the letters A, B, 
C, D and E. 

The MS. 1 A is preserved in the Bodleian Library, 
Oxford, and bears the numbers Mareschal 23, Bodl. 157, 
and MS. Copt. Uri liv. It consists of 179 paper leaves 
measuring about 10V-2 in. by 7 ! /2. Each page is occupied 
by one column of Coptic, and one column of Arabic writing, 
generally containing 19 and 16 lines respectively. The 
quires are eighteen in number, and on the top of the first 
and last leaves of each quire is written ic xc 'Jesus Christ.' 
On fol. 3 a, at the foot of the page, are three lines of badly 
written Arabic which read:

"Remember, Lord, thy servant the sinner, drowned 
in the sea of sins and transgressions, who is not worthy 
that ........... ' ?1 

On fol. 35, is a partially obliterated Coptic cross 
printed in yellow, red, and green colours: in the spaces 
between the four arms are written iy, xy, Ri and KA, and 
on each side of the foot of the cross is a dove. The initial 
letters of some of the paragraphs have been gilded, the 
border of fol. 4 a, is prettily illuminated, and the headings 
of the several sections of the MS. are written in red. On fol. 
82 a, are two lines of Coptic letters which read: 



Beneath these are two lines of Greek letters, and then 
we have another line of Coptic letters thus: 



My friend Dr. Henri Hyvernat of Rome informs me 
that these lines give the date in which the manuscript was 
written; and as he intends to discuss them at full length 
in his forthcoming treatise on the palaeography of Coptic 
MSS., and to reproduce them by photography, it will be 
sufficient to refer the reader to that work. On fol. 1785, 
is a colophon in Arabic which reads:

PREFACE. XI 



"This holy book belongs by wakf (gift or bequest for 
] >ious purposes) to the church of the Virgin in the convent 
of Baramus. 1 And no one has power from the Lord (may 
He be glorified) to take it out of the possession of the 
aid convent as long as it continues to be inhabited by 
monks; and glory be to God for ever." On the last leaf 
of the book the scribe has practised making in outline the 
borders and small illuminations which begin and end each 
quire. This manuscript is written in the Memphitic dialect 
in a good, regular hand of the latter half of the xivth cen- 
tury, and contains: 

1. The Martyrdom of Saint Greorge of Cappadocia by 
Pasikrates his servant. 2 Fol. 3b. 



1 The convent of Baramus is situated in Lat. 30 19' N., Long. 
30 16' E., in the Natron Valley, ^^J\ ^>\$, near the convents of 
St. Macarius and Amba Bishoi, aud between the Natron Lakes and 
the Bahar el-Farigh. In Mahmud Bey's map of Egypt it is placed at 
the junction of the caravan routes from Alexandria and Tripoli to 
Cairo. For descriptions of this famous convent see Curzon, Visits to 
Monasteries in the Levant, pp. 94, 95, and Butler, Ancient Coptic Churches 
of Egypt, vol. i, pp. 334337.

Bishop of Jerusalem. 1 Fol. 8 3 a. 

3. The nine Miracles wrought by Saint George. 2 Fol. 956. 
The paper manuscript B is in the possession of Lord 

Crawford, and formerly belonged to Henry Tattam. It 
consists of 148 leaves measuring 8% in. by 5 3 / 4 . Each page 
is occupied by one column of writing of 15 lines. The 
quires were originally 18 in number, and some of the 
leaves have been much stained by water. Leaves 1 to 31, 
40, and 179184 are wanting; two leaves have been paged 
pF instead of pe and pr; and leaves poA and pob have been 
bound up at the end of the manuscript instead of in their 
proper place. The manuscript is written in the JVfemphitic 
dialect in a fine bold hand, and belongs in all probability 
to the xiith century. On fol. 90 &, are three lines of Arabic 
which run:

PREFACE. XIII 



"May God (may He be glorified) bless him that had 
his book written, and may He, as He promised in His holy 

rpel, reward him thirty, sixty and a hundredfold." 
The contents of this manuscript when complete were 
same as those of A, and the variant readings from what 
:.'emains of it are printed at the foot of the pages of the 
translation, because my edition from the Bodleian MS. A, 
yvas in type before I knew of its existence. 

The parchment manuscript C is preserved in the Vatican 
Library, where it bears the number 63 ; it was brought by 
Assemani from a monastery near the Natron lakes. Many 
of the leaves have been injured by water, and some are so 
rotten that the letters can only be deciphered with the 
greatest difficulty. The Martyrdom of Saint George is 
written on ff. 106 172 of the manuscript, the leaves of 
which measure 13 in by 9 3 /4. This portion of the manuscript 
was originally a separate book, and bore the number 
CZ (267) which is still to be seen on the lower margin of 
the first leaf. The margins of the first page are ornamented 
with an intertwining line border painted in divers colours. 
This page is divided into two unequal parts by a painted 
line ornament, in the upper, or larger, is the title of the 
work written in slender uncials, and in the lower are the first 
few words of the text of the martyrdom. The manuscript 
is written with fine tenth century uncials in the Memphitic 
dialect. The 67 parchment leaves on which the martyrdom 
is written are divided into eight quires: the first six contain 
eight leaves each, the seventh contains seven, and the eighth 
(which is unnumbered) twelve. The leaves are paginated 



XIV PKEFACE. 

consecutively, on their reverse sides only, for the first six 
quires; there are mistakes in the seventh quire, and the 
eighth quire is not paginated at all. The manuscript is 
bound in red skin, and bears the arms of Pope Clement XI 
and Cardinal Pamphili. On fol. 172 a, are written 17 lines 
of small uncials which tell us that the manuscript was 
written by the care of the God-loving brethren Peter the 
deacon, Kelloug the deacon, and their spiritual son, whose 
name is not given, and placed in the Church of Saint 
Michael of Gephroene/et. 1 On the reverse of the same 
page are 1 3 lines of writing, the last of which states that 
the manuscript was written in the year of the Martyrs 
672 = A. D. 956. 

The fragment of the Sahidic version of the Martyrdom 
and Miracles of Saint George, D, is preserved in the Vatican 
Library. 2 The "leaves are eleven in number, nine paged 
IP KA, and two, containing fragments of his miracles, un- 
paged. There are two columns of writing to each page, 
and the manuscript was written probably in the viiith or 
ixth century. "We learn from the colophon that the, manu- 
script was written by two brothers called Stephen and 
John; and that it was made at the expense of Apa Jacob 
the son of the Arch- Apa Lues and Kulban, of the town of 
Shmin 3 Panos, "for the salvation of his soul, and that Saint

>rge might show favour to him before the king Christ, 
save him in this wicked world, and give to him a lot 
an inheritance with all the saints in the world which 
is to come." 

The fragment of the Sahidic version of the Martyrdom 
of Saint George, E, is preserved in the library of the Earl 
of Crawford and Balcarres. The leaves, paged MF J, are 
eight in number and measure 12 ! /2 in. by 8V2. There are 
"wo columns of writing to each page, and each column 
contains twenty-six lines. The manuscript is written in a 
fine bold handwriting and belongs probably to the viiith 
or ixth century. A few of the leaves have been damaged 
by water, and, in places, the writing is erased. I suspect 
that this fragment belonged to the manuscript of which D 
once formed a part. At the foot of page w, beneath the 
second column of writing are the words TTME & NCDU) 
"the fourth time of reading", which show that the martyr- 
dom was read through in four or five readings in the church 
to which this manuscript originally belonged. The first 
two or three words of the passage allotted for the fourth 
time of reading are in capital letters painted red.

factories and jewel cutting. See Strabo, xvii, 41 (Didot's edition 
p. 690); Champollion, L'Egypte sous les Pharaons, i, 257. The accuracy 
of Strabo's description is supported by the large numbers of pieces 
of beautifully worked linen lately found at Ahmim which are now 
preserved in the British and South Kensington Museums. For a 
description of the monasteries at Ahmim see Quatremere, Memoires, 
i, p. 448. 



XVI PREFACE. 

in the manuscript A appears to be of a good antiquity, 
but contains several bad readings. The aim of the original 
translator appears to have been to make the work as brief 
as possible, so much so that, without the more discursive 
encomium of Theodotus, it would have been exceedingly 
difficult to translate portions of it at all. The name of the 
Coptic translator of the martyrdom attributed to Pasikrates 
is not mentioned in the manuscript, nor have I been able 
to find an allusion in the encomium of Theodotus, Bishop 
of Ancyra, to any other work on St. George save the en- 
comium upon him attributed to Theodosius, Bishop of Jeru- 
salem. If this latter encomium, or a Greek original, was 
really written by Theodosius it is a very interesting fact, 
and takes us back to within 150 years of the time when 
Saint George is said to have been martyred. The enco- 
mium upon Saint George by Theodotus is clearly based 
upon an older work, and the original of the Coptic text in A 
might very well be the older work. It is a significant fact 
that many of the passages in it which offer difficulties to 
the modern translator, are either omitted entirely from 
the encomium by^ Theodotus, or are paraphrased. The 
Greek texts of the encomiums by Simeon Metaphrastes, 
Andrew of Crete, and Gregory of Cyprus, appear to have 
been based upon some such account of the martyrdom of 
Saint George as that offered to us by the Coptic text. The 
Arabic version in A is, on the whole, very good ; but at 
times the translator paraphrased the Coptic so loosely that 
these parts of his work do not help us to understand the 
original Coptic. In the spelling of proper names he followed

)lindly the corrupt forms of Greek names given in the 
Coptic text. 

The summary of the life and death of George the Mar- 
:yr l as given by the Coptic texts is as follows: 

In the days of the impious emperor Diocletian the devil 
saw that the belief in Christ was spreading throughout the 
whole world and causing the worship of idols to cease. He 
then entered into the emperor's heart and made him raise up 
a terrible persecution against the Christians. Then Diocletian 
prepared instruments of torture of the most devilish nature, 
and published two edicts. By the first he summoned the 
governors of every province to his presence to discuss 
with him what steps should be taken to prevent the increase 
of the worship of "Him that Mary bore", and by the 
second, published after seventy governors had come to his 
presence, he utterly forbade any person to utter the name 
of Christ, or to worship Him under pain of torture by the 
wheel, the wooden horse, the flesh scrapers arid many other 
instruments of torture: thus three years passed by before 
any dared to confess that he was a Christian. At the end 
of this time, George, a native of Melitene, a city in the very 
far east of Cappadocia, came to Dadianus and desired to

be made a count. George 1 was the grandson of John, the 
chief governor of Cappadocia, and the son of Anastasius, 
the governor of Melitene, and of Kira Theognosta, a noble 
lady the daughter of Dionysius the count of Lydda or 
Diospolis. George's ancestors had been orthodox Christians, 
and he boasts that none of them had ever been idolaters. 
When Anastasius was about thirty-six years old, he died, 
and left behind a widow and a family of three children, 
George and his two sisters, Kasia and Mathrona, aged ten, 
six and two years respectively. Anastasius and his wife 
were exceedingly rich in cattle and possessions, and they 
were greatly beloved by all the country round about by 
reason of their good deeds. Shortly after the death of 
Anastasius, a new governor called Justus was appointed 
to rule over Palestine, and he was a God-fearing and 
good man; and he asked permission from George's 
mother to bring the boy up to the profession of a soldier. 
Kira Theognosta consented, and Justus shortly after ap- 
pointed George captain over five thousand men. Justus 
next wrote to the emperor and informed him of thje birth 
and position of the young man, and the emperor paid 
George a salary of three thousand pieces of money a 
month. For ten years George lived happily with Justus, 
who associated him with himself in the government of 
Palestine, and made him master of his house, and heir 
to all that he possessed. Moreover, Justus betrothed his 
daughter then about twelve years of age to him, but while 

1 He is said to have been called George after the name of his 
great-grandfather. 






PREFACE. XIX 

] reparations were being made for the marriage he died, 
leaving George about twenty years of age and very hand- 
* ome. In battle he was very valiant, and when he attacked 
Ids enemies they went down before him like chaff before 
he wind. The marriage of George was delayed in con- < 
sequence of the death of his adopted father, and shortly 
after George gathered together a large sum of money and 
gifts, and made preparations to set out for Tyre, intending 
1:0 ask the emperor Diocletian to make him a count and 
governor of Palestine. George's wealth must have been 
considerable, for when Dadianus offered him one hundred 
pounds of gold to depart from the city, he replied 
that he had left behind him twenty thousand pounds of 
gold and forty thousand pounds of silver, besides cattle, 
horses, fields and vineyards, to follow Christ. Having 
loaded himself with gifts for the emperor and the go- 
vernors who had gathered together to him at Tyre for the 
purpose of laying down the boundaries of the empire, he 
set out with his servants in a ship and came to that city. 
When he arrived there he found a mighty multitude of 
governors and soldiers madly sacrificing to the gods of the 
Roman empire. Disgust laid hold of George when he saw 
their folly, and casting from him the idea of asking a favour 
at the hands of the governor Dadianus, he distributed 
among the poor all the money which he had brought to 
give to the governors, and determined to become a Christ- 
ian. He then went back to his ship and told his servants 
of his resolution, and they entreated him to allow them to 
return to their native city. George paid them their wages, 






XX PREFACE. 

and set them free on the condition that they did not go 
to his native city and inform his mother and sisters and 
his betrothed of his intention to die for Christ's sake. 
Three of Ins servants, Pasikrates, Lukios and Kirennios refus- 
ed to forsake their master, and having hired a house at Tyre, 
they witnessed his strife and death. Having stripped 
himself of all he possessed, even to his very clothes, 
he went into the presence of the governor Dadianus and 
proclaimed boldly that he was a Christian. Dadianus 
asked him questions about his birth, and parentage, and 
position in this world, adjuring him by the name of Christ 
to tell him the whole of his history. When Dadianus 
learned from George that he was of noble birth, and had 
served in the imperial army with considerable distinction, 
he endeavoured to turn him aside from his fatal decision: 
and admiring his beautiful form and handsome face he 
tried to allure him into further service by promises of ad- 
vancement in the empire and great rewards. George 
rejected his offers with scorn, and began to revile the im- 
perial gods, pointing out at the same time how aboniinably 
polluted they were as compared with Peter, Elijah, the 
Virgin Mary, and other saints. The patience of Dadianus 
being at last tired out by George's resistance he ordered 
him to be stripped naked by the attendants and thrown 
upon the wooden horse, or rack, to wrench his bones from 
their sockets; and they forced his feet into iron boots and 
drove nails into them; they put a weight of six hundred 
pounds upon him so that he burst asunder; they broke in 
his head with iron bars; they scraped him with scrapers, 






PREFACE. XXI 

and then poured vinegar and brine upon his wounds: and 
} aving nailed him to a bed they cast him into prison, 
vhere during the night Christ came and healed him 
entirely. On the following day when Dadianus found 
that he was healed he had him tied to four posts and 
beaten with eight hundred stripes, and vinegar and brine 
poured over him. That night Christ visited him again 
in prison and healed him. The next day Dadianus made 
a proclamation in which he invited any magician who 
was able to overcome George to come to his presence, 
promising to reward him well if he could defeat and kill 
him. In answer to this proclamation a man called Atha- 
nasius appeared and told the governor that he was able 
to do anything. When Dadianus asked for a proof of his 
assertion, Athanasius asked that an ox might be brought 
to him ; and when it was brought he whispered in its ear, 
and it split asunder into two parts which, when weighed, 
were found to be of equal weight. The governor was 
satisfied at his proof of power, and ordered that either he 
should overcome George, or that George should overcome 
him. Athanasius then filled a cup with drugs, and having 
uttered the mighty names of demons over it gave it to 
George to drink; George drank it, but the poison had no 
effect upon him. Athanasius begged for one more trial 
of his skill, and having mixed a more potent draught of 
poison, and having pronounced the names of more power- 
ful demons than the first over it, he gave it to George to 
drink; and he drank it without any evil consequence 
following. Athanasius the sorcerer, seeing that his magic 



XXII PKEFACE. 

was powerless, entreated that he might be baptized, and 
the apostle Thomas came and baptized him in the name 
of the Persons of the Trinity. Enraged at the defeat of 
the magician, Dadianus next ordered that George should 
be broken on the wheel, and when this was done the frag- 
ments of his body were thrown into a dry pit. And 
straightway there were earthquakes and lightnings, and 
Christ came down with His angels and commanded Michael 
to gather together the fragments of George's body and to 
bring them up out of the pit. Christ then reconstructed 
his body, and filled him with joy. After George had been 
thus raised from the dead at the request of Magnentius 
the governor of Armenia he wrought a miracle, and made 
the wooden legs of seventy seats to take root, and to put 
forth leaves, and to bear both blossom and fruit. This 
wonderful thing Dadianus ascribed to the power of his 
gods; and he continued to torture George with every con- 
ceivable act of cruelty, until at last he destroyed him by 
sawing him in twain and by boiling him to death in a 
cauldron of pitch, sulphur and tar. The cauldron which 
contained his rernains was then buried deep down in the 
earth, but Christ came down with His angels, and raised 
him up from the dead a second time. After George 
had been raised from the dead a second time he wrought 
four miracles. I He raised to life the dead ox of a woman 
called Cholastike, or Schollastike; II he raised to life some 
men and women who had been dead and buried for more 
than two hundred years; III he caused the pillar of the 
poor widow woman's house to take root and become a 



PREFACE. XXIII 

mighty tree twenty feet higher than any building in the 
town; IV he made the son of the widow to see. After 
t lese miracles Dadianus tortured him, and burnt him to 
( (uith, and when the attendants had scattered his ashes to 
ttie four winds of heaven Christ commanded the winds, 
iind they brought the ashes back, and He again restored 
George to life. When the governor had put to death all 
the soldiers who believed on God because He had raised 
George up from the dead, he commanded that George 
should be brought to him. When he had come Dadianus 
offered him one thousand pounds of gold to depart quietly 
out of the city, but he rejected the offer with scorn, and 
the governor began to torture him again. When Dadianus 
had had George's tongue torn out, his eyes destroyed and 
his legs broken, he made them throw him into prison until 
lie should make up his mind how to destroy him effectually. 
On the night following the torturing of George, Christ 
appeared into him in prison, and, bidding him be of 
good cheer, healed him of his wounds. When Dadianus 
found that he had spent seven years in torturing and 
killing George without having effected his purpose of 
making him sacrifice to the gods, he changed his tactics 
and began to flatter him, and pretended that he had only 
treated him as a loving father would treat a disobedient 
and wilful child. He would have followed up these peace- 
ful words by kissing George, but he told the governor that 
he would not accept his kiss until he had offered sacrifice 
to the gods. Dadianus, misunderstanding this reply, then 
took him into his palace, and leaving him in the chamber 






XXIV PREFACE. 

where Alexandra the Queen was, went out and caused a 
herald to proclaim that George would offer sacrifice to the 
gods on the morrow. When George had come into the 
palace he began to pray, and Alexandra hearing the prayer 
asked him to explain it to her, and to tell her about Christ. 
And Greorge told her of the creation of man and of his fall, 
of his enemy the devil, and of the coming of the Son of 
God into the world to save man from the fires of Amenti. 
When Alexandra learned that Apollo and Herakles and 
the other gods of the empire were not gods, but only idols, 
she believed on Christ, and entreated George to pray to 
Him on her behalf. On the following day Dadianus sent 
to bring George to offer sacrifice to Apollo, whereupon 
George commanded the little boy, to whom he had given the 
power of hearing, seeing, and walking, to go into the temple 
of Apollo, and to bid him to come to him. When the 
devil which sojourned in the idol heard George's command 
he leaped down from his pedestal and came to him; and 
he at once told George that he was the rebellious spirit 
who refused to bow down before Adam, and jbhat on 
account of this act of rebellion he was expelled from 
heaven. And when the devil had confessed all his evil 
deeds, George struck the earth with his foot, and it opened, 
and swallowed him up. Then George went into the temple, 
and threw down the images of Herakles and the other 
gods, and trampled them in the dust. When the priests 
saw what George had done they bound him with cords, 
and took him to Dadianus, who charged him with having 
lied and broken his promise to worship Apollo. Dadianus

b( ing greatly ashamed and enraged at the destruction of 
his idol, went into his palace and lamented to Alexandra 
h< >w much he had suffered at the hands of the Christians. 
Tien Alexandra reproached him for having maltreated 
tl em, whereupon Dadianus laid hold of her hair and 
d 'Egged her out before the governors, and told them what 
bid happened. And they ordered that she should be first 
stripped naked and tortured on the wooden horse, and 
'then that she should be beheaded, which took place 
on the 15th day of Pharmuthi. After these things 
Dadianus the governor passed sentence of death upon 
George, and each of the sixty-nine other governors signed 
[it, and George rejoiced greatly. And while the seventy 
governors were sitting at meat George prayed to God, and 
fire came down from heaven and consumed them; and 
when he had prayed concerning the resting place of his 
[body and the welfare of all mankind, he was beheaded on 
tie 23rd day of Pharmuthi. When George had been be- 
teaded, Pasikrates and Lukios and Kirennios his servants 
iame up and took away the head and trunk, and laid them 
together, and they went and bought spices, and embalmed the 
>ody, and laid it in a rock hewn tomb outside the city. And 
i1i chanced that the captain of a merchant ship from Joppa 
ut in at Tyre to sell his cargo, and the servants of George 
argained with him to carry the body of George to Joppa. 
iVlien it arrived there a certain kinsman of George caUed 
^eontius provided horses, and they carried the body to 
da or Dio spoils, together with an account of George's 
sufferings and martyrdom written by Pasikrates his servant. 






XXVI PREFACE. 

During the seven years in which George had been tortured, 
his mother and sisters and betrothed had all died, and the 
only kinsman of his left in Diospolis was his mother's 
brother called Andrew. When Andrew heard of the good 
things promised by Christ to those who should build a 
shrine to the name of George, he pulled down the house 
in which George had lived, and began to build at his own 
cost a small martyrium in which to deposit his body. 
Finding the work very expensive he fell into great grief, 
fearing lest he should be unable to complete the building 
which he had begun; but George appeared to him by night, 
and showed him a place in the ground where he had hid- 
den money during his life-time, and with this, and the help 
of his neighbours, he completed the building which was 
consecrated by Abba Theodosius the Bishop of Jerusalem 
on the 7th day of Athor. Soon after the consecration of 
the shrine it was wrecked by one of Diocletian's generals 
called Euchios, but it was afterwards rebuilt and greatly 
enlarged by the emperor Constantine. "When the emperor 
Theodosius II had reigned twenty years, he built a church 
in honour of George, and he gathered together the Bishops ] 
from all parts of the world, among them being Theodotus, 
Bishop of Ancyra, to the consecration of it. 

The most cursory examination of the Coptic version 
of the martyrdom of George is sufficient to show that the 
writer of it, or of the Greek text from which the Coptic 
version was probably made, was fully acquainted with 
certain facts relating to the persecution of the Christians 
by Diocletian; but it is also clear that the names of the 



PBEFACE. XXVII 

poisons who took part in it have been either wilfully or 
ignorantly corrupted by him, and that the historical se- 
Iquence of the events which took place during that period 
!h;is been destroyed. The first account of George's mar- 
tyrdom is said to have been written by his servant Pasi- 
k L'ates, 1 flotaixpaTT]?, but it has been considered to be un- 
trustworthy by many. However this may be, it is certain 
that both Theodosius, Bishop of Jerusalem about A. D. 
450, and Theodotus, Bishop of Ancyra, who lived in the 
early part of the Vth century, used and accepted the 
account of the martyrdom of George said to have been 
written by him. If, however, the encomiums attributed to 
Theodosius and Theodotus are not genuine, though I see 
no reason why they should not be, they were probably 
written about a century later. A Syriac version of the 
vork of Pasikrates existed in the YIth century, 2 and it has 
so much in common with the Coptic account of A published 
in this book, that I originally intended to publish it side 
by side with the Coptic text, edited from three MSS. in 
the British Museum, and a Nestorian Syriac MS. in the

The Coptic account makes George to be martyred 
by Dadianus the 'great governor of the Persians', in 
the presence of seventy governors from all parts of the 
world. From the description of the ferocity of this go- 
vernor and his cruel tortures of the Christians no other 
historical character than Galerius Valerius Maximianus, 
who reigned jointly with Diocletian can be intended. This 
man was born of peasant parents and came from Dacia, 3 
he embraced the profession of a soldier and grew up 
without either manners or education. 4 The general called 
Euchios in the ninth miracle of St. George (p. 77) who 
was sent by Diocletian to overthrow George's shrine at 
Lydda, is described as being of savage disposition, and from

j the description of the manner of his death Gralerius must 
b3 the man described. The Coptic text and Lactantius 1 
d ascribe him as being more wicked than any other man 
upon earth, and it is well known that he was not only the 
first and principal cause of the persecution of the Chri- 
s ians, but also the man who incited Diocletian to publish 
his edicts against the Christians. His appellation of 'great 
governor of the Persians' was given to him by the Copts 
1 ecause of his celebrated defeat of Narses, king of 
Persia, about 297 A. D. 2 The two edicts against the 
Christians which are attributed to Dadianus are no 
doubt those of Diocletian published at Mcomedia in the 
year 303. 3 The first was directed against the property of 
the Christians, and the second against their lives: these 
facts agree exactly with the statements respecting the 
edicts of Dadianus given in the Coptic text. According 
to the statements in the Coptic account of the martyrdom 
of Gleorge he cannot have been finally put to death 
by the sword before 310 A. D. 4 The Christian church 
grew and flourished under the first twenty years of the 
reign of Diocletian, A. D. 284 303, and it was not until 
Gralerius had conquered the Persians that any serious 
check was put upon Christianity. During the winter of 
the year 303 Gralerius and Diocletian were at Mcomedia

discussing their future treatment of the Christians, and 
on the 24th February, the day after the demolition of 
the church of Mcomedia, the first edict against them was 
passed. The edict had scarcely been exhibited in the public 
place when it was torn down by a Christian, who took 
the opportunity of abusing the governors at the same time. 
This young man was seized, and after having been tortured 
most cruelly, was slowly roasted to death. I do not think 
that this young man was Saint George as Eusebius believes 
(Hist. Eccles. viii, 5), but I think it more than probable that 
his manner of death suggested the romance of the martyr- 
dom of Saint George. The Coptic text makes George to 
be tortured by Dadianus for seven years at Tyre, and as 
the torturing of the Christians did not begin until after 
the publication of Diocletian's second edict that would 
make the year of George's death to be 310 or 311 A. D. 
The youth, however, who tore down the edict was tortured 
at Mcomedia in the year 303 and, according o the Greek 
churches, was called John. It is not easy to account for 
the sixty-nine governors who were gathered together to the 
presence of Dadianus, but we must not forget that, in 
the narrative, only four of them appear to take any active 
part in the martyrdom of Saint George, a fact which 
reminds us of Diocletian and his three associates, Maximian, 
Galerius and Constantius. When we read of St. George 
causing the governors to be burnt up by divine fire just 
before his death, it seems very possible that an allusion to 
the two attempts made to destroy Diocletian and Galerius 
and their palace by fire within fifteen days of the publica- 



PREFACE. XXXI 

ti3n of the first edict against the Christians, is intended. 1 
Thus there is some evidence that the original writer of 
the martyrdom of St. G-eorge was well acquainted with 
tlie facts of the persecution of the Christians by Galerius, 
Lut that either wilfully or ignorantly the names of those 
v r ho took part in it were corrupted or changed, and the 
historical sequence of events destroyed. 

I am unable to say when the Coptic version of the 
Martyrdom of Greorge was made, but it must have been 
known and read as early as the time of Theodotus, Bishop 
of Ancyra, in the early part of the Yth century. The 
fragments D and B of the Sahidic version show that the 
work was known all over Egypt in the IXth century; and 
as we find in E a marginal note, I7MF & NCDUJ, "the fourth 
time of reading", indicating the passage which was to be 
read at the fourth reading of the martyrdom, we are cer- 
tain that it was read publicly in the churches of Upper 
Egypt at that period. 

The Coptic text shows us clearly that the dragon which 
George fought and overcame was none other than the 
impious Dadianus, and it proves, if further proof is needed, 
that George the martyr and George the opponent of 
Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria, were two distinct per- 
sons; the fact being that Athanasius the Bishop has been 
confused with Athanasius the sorcerer whom Greorge the 
martyr overcame. And the princess whom popular 
tradition says Saint George rescued from the dragon, 



1 Till era ont, Memoir es, v, 9.

is Alexandra the wife of Dadianus who was converted to 
the Christian religion, and was baptized and suffered 
martyrdom. 

As for Saint George the martyr it is very improbable 
that such a person ever lived. The young man who tore 
down the edict at Mcomedia, and the fearful sufferings 
which he suffered, afforded ample material for the con- 
struction of a martyr who should not only be able to endure 
every suffering and torture which the malice and hate of 
a tyrannical governor could devise, but who should die 
several times and be raised up again to life by the power 
of Jesus Christ. Every new version which was made of 
the martyrdom contained some new wonder or miracle, 
and we know that the acta of Saint George became ab- 
solutely incredible before the end of the fifth century, for 
about the year 495, Pope Gelasius decreed that, al- 
though George was to be esteemed as a genuine martyr, 
yet his passion was not to be read because of it being the 
work of heretics. 1 The popular versions of the martyrdom 
of Saint George current among Christian nations assign 
to him tortures which he never could have endured, and 
^endow him with powers which he never could have 
possessed. He has been universally regarded as a helper 
of the poor and needy, a defender of the weak against 
the strong, a mediator between God and man, a bene- 
factor of all mankind, a co-regent of the Holy Trinity

heaven, and, in short, the traditions of Saint George 
made him to usurp all the power possessed by man 
ud beast upon earth, and the omniscience and omni- 
x)tence of God in heaven. Moreover, round about him 
uve gathered the myths of the most ancient nations of 
tl ie world , and I doubt much if the whole story of Saint 
George is anything more than one of the many versions 
o::' the old-world story of the conflict between Light and 
Darkness, or Ba and Apepi, 1 andMarduk andTiamat, woven 
upon a few slender threads of historical fact. Tiamat 2 the 
scaly, winged, foul dragon, and Apepi the powerful enemy 
of the glorious Sungod, were both destroyed and made 
to perish in the fire which he sent against them and their 
fiends: and Dadianus, also called the 'dragon', with his 
friends the sixty-nine governors, was also destroyed by fire 
called down from heaven by the prayer of Saint George. 3

XXXIV PBEFACE. 

The information which the Coptic martyrdom of Saint 
George affords us in respect of hell is very interesting; 
firstly, because it shows what the Copts thought hell was 
like, and secondly, because we see from it that the ideas of 
the ancient Egyptians on this subject are reproduced with 
but slight variation. The Coptic translators of the Bible 

rendered b*WD and 6 G&YK by AMEN'h i. e. ^ Amentet, 

\ r\^/i 

a word which meant first of all 'the place where the sun 
hid himself, and afterwards 'the place of the dead'. 1 In 
this place Osiris sat in a hall of judgment surrounded by 
the forty-two "assessors" of the dead. 2 Anubis, the god 
of the dead, stood by waiting to seize and carry off the 
unfortunate soul that had been "weighed in the balance 
and found wanting", 3 and near him stood the beast, part 
lion, part crocodile, and part hippopotamus. The Copts 
inherited their idea of the judgment hall in Amenti from 
their ancestors the ancient Egyptians; and the burning 
fires which, in the old mythology, consumed the enemies 
of the Sun god, were made to assist in torturing the souls 
of the damned. 

The Coptic hell was a place of fervent and parching 
heat, and it is said that "the heat of the sun is nothing 
beside that of Amenti, and if a man were to pass all his 
time standing in the sun, it would not be equal to one day

o: punishment. 1 When John, the son of Pisentios, Bishop 
of Coptos, complained of having had no water for two or 
t iree days, his father asked him to imagine what the suffer- 
i igs must be 2 of those who had to pass through the river 
cf fire in hell. The punishments meted out to souls in 
junenti were various: "some, whose sins are many, are 
now in Amenti, some are in outer darkness, some are in 
pits and wells filled with fire, some are in the nethermost 
hell, AMUN'f ETCA TTFCHT, some are in the river of fire, 
and to these no rest hath been vouchsafed until this 
minute." 3 

The dead men who were raised to life by the martyrs 
give us accounts of what they saw and what they suffered. 
'When Macarius of Antioch had raised to life a man who 
had been dead six hours, he asked him that had been 
lead to describe his state after death, 4 and the man replied, 
"I was a man who worshipped idols ; and when I came to die 
the dekans (gANkHKANOc), came after me, and their faces 
and forms were different from one another. Some had the 
face of a beast, some had the face of a dragon, some had 
the face of a lion, some had the face of a crocodile and 
some had the face of a bear. 5 And they tore my soul from 
my body with terrible mercilessness, and they ran away

with it to the great river of fire and plunged me in it to a 
depth of four hundred cubits; then they took me and set 
me before the Judge of truth. And I heard this sentence 
come forth from him: -Take away from before me this 
soul which has made devils to be gods, and which has 
denied the God who made it, and let it know that Grod 
liveth on high. After these things they ran away with me to 
a place of darkness wherein there was no light, and they 
cast me out into the cold where there was gnashing of teeth. 
And I saw there the worm that dieth not having the head 
of a crocodile. 1 And he was surrounded by reptiles of all 
(kinds) who threw down souls before him, and when his 
own mouth was full he made the other beasts to eat also, 
and they rent us but we did not die. After these things 
they brought me out of that place, and carried me to 
Amenti for ever. And while they were dragging me 
along I heard a voice behind me, saying, "Bring him back, 
for he must needs be sent back to the world again through 
the prayers of Saint Apa Macarius of Antioch;" and they 
brought my soul back and placed it in my body." 

.A fuller description of the inhabitants and tortures of 
hell is given in the following extract which states that the 
damned do not suffer on the Sabbath day. The man who 
had been dead two hundred years (infra p. 2 1 9) when George 
raised him up from the dead, said that rest was given on 
the Lord's day to every soul in hell, except to those who,

the face of a crocodile in the vignette of the 125th chap, of the Book 
of the Dead.

in their lifetime, had worshipped idols. John, the son of 
L'lsentios, used to go to take water to his father every 

Sabbath day, and one day when he came he heard 
Iscmeone weeping sorrowfully and entreating his father, 
Isrying, "I beseech thee, my father and master, to 

entreat the Lord for me that He may release me from 

these punishments, and may not cast me back again into 

[them, for I have suffered greatly." And I thought that it 

was a man talking with my father, for the place was dark; 
I and I sat down and listened to the mummy talking with 
I my father. Then my father said to the mummy, "From 
I what nome comest thou?" and the mummy said, "I am 
I from the town of Erment." My father said to him, "Who 
I was thy father?" and the mummy said, "My father was 
I Agricola, and my mother was Eustathia." My father said, 
I 'What god did they serve?" and the mummy said, "They 

worshipped Poseidon the god of the sea." My father said 
to him, "Didst thou hear if Christ had come into the world 
before thou diedst?" The mummy said, "No, my father, 
for my parents were pagans (gANguAnNOc), and I followed 
their manner of life. Woe, woe is me, that I was born 
into the world. Why did not my mother's womb become 
my grave? And it came to pass that when I came to the 
necessity of death the chief evil spirits (wKOCMOKpAToap) 
came round about me, and they spoke of all the evil which 
I had wrought, saying, "Let me come now and deliver 
thee from the punishments into which thou wilt be thrown." 
And they had iron knives and iron goads pointed like 
spears in their hands, and they stuck them into me, and 



XXXVIII PREFACE. 

they gnashed me with their teeth. And after a short time 
my eyes were opened and I saw the dead hovering about 
in the air in a multitude of forms. Then straightway the 
merciless angels brought my wretched soul out of my body 
and tied it under a bodiless horse, and dragged me down 
to Amenti. woe is every sinner like myself born into 
the world! 0, my master and father, how numerous were] 
the pitiless torturers, each with a different form, into whose j 
power they gave me! what a number of wild beasts] 
did I see on the way! how exceeding great was the 
power of those that tortured me! And when they had 
cast me forth into outer darkness I saw a huge place more 
than two hundred cubits deep filled with reptiles, and some 
of them had seven heads, and their whole bodies were .... 
like scorpions. And there was also a huge worm most 
terrible to behold, and the teeth in his mouth were 
like iron stakes ; and they threw me down for that worm, 
which never rests, to eat. And all the beasts are assembled 
round about him at all times, and when he fills his mouth, 
all the wild beasts round about him fill their mouths." My 
father said to him, "Since thou art dead until this 'present 
has there never been any repose given to thee, or any time 
in which thou hast not been made to suffer?" The mummy 
replied, "Yes, my father, pity is shown to those who are 
enduring punishment every Sabbath and every Lord's day. 
When the Lord's day has come to an end, we are (again) 
cast into the punishments which we deserve that we may 
forget the years that we have lived in the world; and when 
we have forgotten the sorrow of this punishment they

cast us into others yet more painful. And while thou wast 
piaying for me, straightway the Lord commanded those 
w 10 were scourging me, and they took out the iron gag 
aich they had put in my mouth and set me free, and I 
c;me to thee. Behold now I have told thee what I have 
suffered. Pray for me, my master and father, that a 
li:tle rest may be given to me, and that they may not cast 
n.e into that place again." My father said, "The Lord is 
merciful, and He will show mercy unto thee. Lie down and 
sleep until the general resurrection in which every one 
shall arise, and thou also shalt arise with them." 1 

In the winter of 1885 I wrote to Prof. Ignazio Gruidi 
of Rome asking him if it would be possible to obtain a 
copy of the Sahidic fragment of the Martyrdom of Saint 
Greorge preserved in the Vatican. He mentioned my wish 
to Prof. Henri Hyvernat, Professor of Assyriology and 
Egyptology in Rome, who immediately sent to me his copy 
of the fragment which he had made some time before. He 
gave me permission to publish it, and most kindly offered 
to collate the 'proofs' with the original. As soon as Prof. 
Hyvernat knew that I was printing the martyrdom and 
miracles of Saint Greorge from the Bodleian manuscript, 
be sent to me, unasked, his copy of the encomium of Theo- 
dotus, Bishop of Ancyra, upon Saint George, and promised 
that if I printed it he would collate the proofs with the 
manuscript. This offer I gladly accepted, and not only I, but 
all lovers of Coptic literature, and all who are interested

XL PREFACE. 

in matters relating to the Coptic church, owe him a large 
debt of gratitude for his generosity. My thanks are alsc 
due to the Curators of the Bodleian Library for their loan 
to me of the manuscript A; and to the Earl of Crawford 
and Balcarres for the use of the MSS. B and E, and foi 
his kind permission to print any part of them. 

Since the whole of my edition of the Coptic texts 
relating to Saint Greorge, and the English translation 
them was in type , M. Amelineau has published a very 
interesting little work entitled Contes et Romans de U Egypt 
Chretienne, in which he has given a translation of the A 
manuscript, the text of which is printed in this book 
As a large number of the sheets of this book were printed of 
I was unable in my edition to note the variations in our 
translations, and as they agree substantially, there was per- 
haps little need to do so. I must in justice to myself stat< 
that the publication of my edition of the Coptic texts anc 
the English translation of themwas delayed nearly a year 
through my absence from England on the two missions to 
Egypt and Mesopotamia which the Trustees of the British 
Museum did me the honour to entrust to me. 

Finally I dedicate this book to Mr. P. Le Page Renouf 
in recognition of many kindnesses shown to me, and as a 
mark of respect for the distinguished Egyptologist who 
first threw scientific light upon the difficult subjects of 
Egyptian grammar and mythology.

IN THE NAME OF GOD. 



Martyrdom of Saint George^, the valiant martyr of our\\\ 
/ord Jesus Christ, who completed his strife on the 23rd of 
the month Pharmuthi 2 , in the peace of God, Amen. 

Now in times of old there arose a severe and terrible storm, 
and a great and mighty storm and persecution came upon the 
Church. In all places the governors had gone astray, and they 
dragged the preachers of the, truth to the altars of the idols, 
and compelled them all to offer sacrifices to devilish idols. Thus 
also did the governor Dadianus 3 , who had acquired dominion 
and had obtained the rule over the four quarters of the earth. 
When Dadianus had become chief, he s'at upon the tribune, and 
wrote edicts to be proclaimed throughout the whole world; and 
these are the things that were written in them. "Inasmuch 



1 See Acta Sanctorum, April 23; Butler, Lives of the Saints, April 23, 
(Dublin edit. 1833, vol. i, p. 508) ; Smith, Diet. Christ. Biog., ed. Wace, voL ii, 
p. 645, and Baring Gould, Curious Myths of the Middle Ages, p. 266. 

2 I. e. ,April 18. For the proofs that all the churches accept April 23 as the 
lay on which Saint George consummated his martyrdom, see Assemani in KaL, 
Eccles. Univ., t. vi, p. 284 ; and Malan, The Calendar of the Coptic Church, p. 28. 

3 Arab.^bob, Syr. rdli.l.i, Ethiop. 



The Greek version 

of Metaphrastes , the encomium of Andrew of Crete on S. George, and the 
discourse of Gregory of Cyprus, state that George was tortured and martyred 
by Diocletian. Peter Heylin makes Dadianus, or Dacianus, to be Galerius 
Maximinianus, or Galerius Caesar, who was by birth a Dacian, and who suc- 
ceeded Diocletian in "all those parts that he commanded". See The Historic of 
St. George of Cappadocia, p. 173. Whoever Dadianus may have been, he, according 
to the Coptic text, was not Diocletian, for this emperor commanded py^lOC 
to go to Palestine and destroy the shrine of Saint George "whose head Dadianus 
the Persian cut off several years ago". See p. 81. There was no king of 
Persia at this time called Dadianus.

birth is the God who is alone to be worshipped, and that Apollo

and Uranus and Scamandros and the other gods are not to be 
[2] worshipped at all, || but that Jesus Christ whom the Jews slew is 
to be worshipped, I, therefore, write to every place, and to the 
governors of every land, and to all rulers under the authority 
of my government to come to me speedily that they may know 
the decision of my power." 2 Then seventy 3 governors from all 
parts of the world were gathered together there with so great 
and mighty a multitude, that the land could not contain them for 
their number. 4 . And Dadianus the governor sat upon the tribune 
and made them bring forth all the instruments of the torture 
chamber and lay them before him; and these were they. The 
brazen bed, the bone smashing choppers, the iron rods (?), the 
wheels with knives fixed to them, the wooden horses, the wooden 



1 The Greek, Latin, Syriac and Arabic texts do not help us in trans- 
lating the name of this god, and it is not to be found among the seventy 
gods and goddesses of Diocletian enumerated by Giorgi, De Miraculis Sancti 
Coluthi, p. cc. 

2 The Arabic version of this edict in the Oxford MS. is as follows: 




The inventor of the story of St. George was probably thinking of the first 
edict of Diocletian against the Christians published Feb. 24th A. D. 303. The 
idea that George was the nameless young man who tore down the edict, and 
who suffered martyrdom on the 23rd of April following is not supported by 
the Coptic or Syriac texts. For the arguments on this point see Acta Sancto- 
rum, April 23, p. 108. 

3 The number of the governors is variously given as three, four, seven, 
seventy and seventy-two. 

4 In the martyrdom of Saints Piroon and Athom we are told that 
Diocletian ordered the eparchs, dukes, counts and governors of every town to 
assemble at Antioch. See Hyvernat, Les Actes des Martyrs de V&gypte, p. 149-

g.oves, the iron gloves, the tongue slitting knives, the tools for 
drawing out the teeth, the iron bone borers, the sharp saws and 
other implements of cruel torture. 1 And Dadianus swore an oath, 
saying, "If I find any people of doubtful mind and refusing to 
vorship the gods, I will reverse t the commands of my fathers 
find will torture them with bitter sufferings, I will break in the 
lowers of their hearts, I will smash their heads, I will cut out 
Iheir brains with sharp knives, I will saw off their shin bones, 
I will tear open their bodies, and I will cut off their limbs from 
their bodies." When the multitude heard these things they feared 
the tortures greatly, and those who wished to become martyrs 
[refrained] when they considered the numbers || of tortures which 
they ran the risk of suffering; and three whole years went by 
without any one daring to say, "I am a Christian". 

Now there was a young man whose name was George, the 
sun of truth and the glorious star betwixt heaven and earth 2 ; 
he was a tribune in the imperial army 3 , and came from Cappa- 
docia. And when he had served his time as tribune and acquired 
much wealth, he came to the governor Dadianus and wished to 
be made a count by him. When Saint George had come to the 
city and saw the frenzied idolatry of the governors and that they 
had forsaken God, he straightway decided to give up his rank 
of tribune, saying. "I will become a soldier of my Lord Jesus 
Christ the King of heaven." And when he had distributed all his 
wealth and given what he had to the poor, he rushed into the 
presence of the governors and cried out, saying, "Cease your 
frenzy, governors, and proclaim not to be gods the things 
which are not gods; let the gods who have not made heaven 
and earth perish! As for me, I will worship one God, the

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit." The 
dragon l looked at him, and said, "Every person who has gone forth 
from the benevolent guidance of the gods perishes, and as for us, we 
worship things which are beneath [the heavens], for the gods Fire and 
Sun appear to us as mighty beings; 2 know now that thou hast not 
only despised us, 3 but thou hast also despised the righteous gods. 

O] Offer sacrifice then to the || gods and to Apollo 4 who is the saviour 
of the whole world, and be convinced that the gods whom thou hum- 
blest know those who honour and obey them, and know how to punish 
those who disobey them. And now, tell me from whence thou 
comest ? what is thy name ? and for what purpose hast thou come 
hither?" Saint George answered, and said, "The chief name 
which I bear is 'Christian', I am by birth a Cappadocian, I was a 
soldier in a famous company, and I performed my duties of tribune 
satisfactorily in Palestine where it served. Who are the gods 
whom thou wouldst force me to worship, king?" The governor 
said to him, "I desire thee to worship Apollo who hung out the 
heavens, and Poseidon 5 who made fast the earth." Saint George 
answered and said, "Neither for thy sake, evil dragon, nor for 
that of the governors thy companions will I speak about the 
righteous ones and thy dead god, but for the sake of these 
multitudes here present. Whom wouldst thou compel me to 
worship, king? Peter the chosen one ofthe Apostles, or Apollo 
who corrupts the whole world? To which of these wouldst thou 
have me offer sacrifice? to Elijah the Tishbite who was an angel 

[5] upon earth and who walked upon earth and was taken |j up to 
the gates of heaven, or to Scamandros the sorcerer who worked 
enchantments by fire and who led many people astray, who com-

mitted adultery with Timetia (Demeter?), who begat Saar and 
Ssrphat the ophani of the warrior of the city of Pontus, whose 
deeds were evil and who were cast into the abyss of the sea? 1 
Toll me, king, to which of these wouldst thou give judgment? 
to Samuel who prayed to God, or to Poseidon the destroyer 
ol the ships of the sea? to Antaeus and Herakles 2 , or to those

slayer of the prophets or to Mary the Virgin the mother of my 
Lord Jesus Christ? Be ashamed, king, for the things which 
thou worshippest are not gods ? but deaf idols." 

When Saint George had said these things, the governor was 
greatly enraged and commanded them to hang him upon the 
wooden horse 3 , and to torture him until his bowels flowed out 
upon the ground. After these things four quaternions of soldiers

laid him out and beat him with leather whips until the flesh of 
his body was torn in shreds; and they sprinkled salt upon him. And 
they brought hair sacks with which to excoriate his body until 
his blood ran like water ; but he was patient under these sufferings. 
And again Dadianus commanded, and they brought for him 

[6] iron boots with holes bored || in them, and they drove nails into 
the soles of his feet through the boots, and his blood flowed out 
like water; but he endured patiently as if they were not torturing 
him at all. After these things Dadianus made them build a 
high platform J , and bring sixty very sharp stakes and lacerate the 
flesh of the righteous man with them. Then he commanded and 
they brought him down from the platform, and cast him into a 
cauldron of water and boiled him. And the soldiers beat his 
head with iron nails until they broke in the skull, and his brains 
poured out through his mouth white as milk; and his whole body 
was congealed with blood like lead. Then Dadianus commanded 
and they brought part of a pillar, and eight men rolled it along 
and laid it upon his belly, and he made them tie it to the saint 
and leave him until he decided what to do to him. 

And it came to pass that during that night the Lord ap- 
peared to Saint George, and said to him, "Be strong and of 
good cheer, beloved George, for I will strengthen thee to bear 
all these sufferings which they have brought upon thee. And 
I swear by Myself, and by the holy angels, that among those 
born of women nQ one has arisen greater than John tfre Baptist, j 
and that after thee there shall arise none like unto thee; for I

endured, he was confronted by a magician called Alexander, whom he 
came, and he died three times. See Hyvernat, Les Actes des Martyrs

', place of safe keeping which I have prepared for thee for thy 
ly dwelling; be strong and fear not, for I am with thee." And 
.en He had embraced him He went up to heaven with His 
ly angels in great glory. 

When it was morning the governor commanded, and they 
yught him before the tribune. Now Saint George was singing 
Psalm, saying, "0 God, hasten thou to my help, hasten thou 
my defence. 1 " When he had come to the tribune 2 , he cried 
01 1, saying, "0 tribune, I and my Lord Jesus Christ have come 
to thee and thy stone Apollo." And they laid hold of him and 
ti' i d him with four leather straps, and beat him with leather 
yuips upon his back and belly; and they cast him back again 
into prison. And Dadianus the governor wrote a letter in 
wliich he thus said, "I write to the whole world, greeting. Let 
any enchanter or magician who can put an end to the magic of 
tl is Christian come hither to me, and I will give him much 
wealth and any territory that he shall ask for, and he shall be 
second in the kingdom." When this letter had been sent 
throughout the whole world, behold a man appeared whose 
name was Athanasius, and he came to the governor and said, 
"0 king, live for ever! There is nothing which I am not able 
to perform in thy presence." The governor rejoiced, and said, 
"What sign wilt thou work before me that I may know that 
thou art able to put an end to the magic of the Christians?" Atha- 
nasius answered and said, "Let them bring me an ox." And 
when they had brought him he spake some words in his ears, [8] 
i.nd he was rent in twain. Athanasius said to Dadianus, "Let 
them bring me a pair of scales," and they brought them to him; 
and he threw the one half of the ox into one pan of the scales 
;md the other half into the other, and they were exactly equal, 
ind there was not the least difference between the weight of the 
iwo halves. And the governor commanded and they brought 
Saint George to the tribune, and he said to him, "0 George, it 
is for thy sake that I have summoned this man into my domi-

nions; thou must vanquish his magic or he will vanquish thine, 
thou must slay him or he will slay thee." Saint George looked 
at the magician and said, "Hasten, my brother, and do unto me 
speedily whatsoever thou wishest to do, for I see grace drawing 
nigh unto thee." And straightway Athanasius 1 took a cup, 2 and 
washed his face in it, 3 and invoked the names of demons over 
the cup, and gave it to him to drink; and when he had drunk no 
evil happened to him at all. Athanasius answered and said to 
George, 4 "My lord, let me only give thee one other sign, and if 
no evil befall thee then I will believe upon Him Whom they 
crucified." Then he took another cup, and washed his face in 
it, 5 and invoked the names of demons more evil 6 than the first 
over it, and he gave him the cup to drink; 7 and when the saint 
had drunk no evil happened to him. 8 When Athanasius saw 
that no evil had happened to him, he said to him, "0 Saint 
George, thou hast the cross of Jesus Christ the Son of God, 
who came into the world to save sinners; have mercy upon my 
[9] soul, and give me the seal of Christ." 9 When Dadianus saw 
what had happened he was greatly enraged, and commanded 
them to take the magician outside the city and to slay him with 
the sword ; so he consummated his martyrdom, and was esteemed 
worthy of everlasting life. 10 And the governor commanded them ; 
to throw Saint George into prison until he had decided what 
he should do with him.

see by the martyrdom of Saint Macarius of Antioch what such philtres were I 
made of. See Hyvernat. Les Actes des Martyrs de rEgypte, p. 59.

When it was morning the governor commanded a huge wheel 
ftc be made with sharp nails and stakes fastened in it; and the 
wheel was made after the manner in which he commanded it to 
b 3 made : the upper part of it was like the edge of a knife, and 
the lower part like a sharp two-edged sword. And the governor 
ommanded them to bring Saint George out of prison and to 
t irow him upon the instrument of torture. When Saint George 
timed and saw the shape of the cutting part of the machine, 
that the upper part of it was like the edge of a knife and the 
lower part a two-edged sword, 1 , he said within himself, 
!'" Verily, I shall never come forth alive from this instrument." 
But again, afterwards, he said within himself, "Woe to thee, 
George, why hast thou allowed this thought to enter thy 
heart? Consider the lot which has come to thee, 2 and remember 
that the Jews crucified thy Lord Himself." And after this he 
lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, "0 Lord, the unchangeable 
God, the Ruler of eternity, to Whom belongeth victory, Thou 
Who givest grace to the martyrs, Whose glory and crown Thou [10] 
art; Thou Who, before Thou hadst created anything, yea, before 
Thou hadst created the heavens and the earth, didst rest upon 
the waters, and now Thou restest upon the whole race of man, 
and knowest Thy place of rest; Who hast spread out the heavens 
like a chamber, and at Whose command the clouds pour out 
-rain in their season; Who rainest upon the just and the unjust; 
Who hast weighed the mountains in a balance and the hills in 
a pair of scales ; Who bringest the winds out of Thy store houses ; 
Who hast cast the rebellious angels into the abyss of hell, where 
they are punished by evil dragons, and fettered and chained with 
indissoluble bonds; Thou the least of Whose commands it is 
Impossible to alter; Lord God Who, in the last days, didst

send into the world Thy only begotten Son, Who took upon 
Himself flesh by the Virgin Mary, and became man, without any 
one being able to understand how to find out the manhood of 
Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, begotten of Thee in very truth; 
Who did walk upon the face of the sea as upon dry land; 
Who did feed five thousand men with five loaves of bread, and 
they were satisfied; Who did rebuke the waves of the sea and 
their crests were bowed down; come now, O my Lord, come 
Jesus, and help my infirmity, for I am a sinner; let these suf- 
ferings be light upon me, for Thine is the glory, and Thy name - 
is full of glory for ever, Amen." 

[11] When he had finished [his prayer and had said] 'Amen', 
they threw him on the wheel, and set it to work; and im- 
mediately his body was broken into ten pieces. Then straight- 
way Dadianus lifted up his voice, saying, "Be strong and know, 
ye governors, that there is no god save Apollo and Hermes 
and Zeus and Athene and Scamandros and Hephaistos and 
Herakles and Poseidon, who work good on the three parts of 
the sea, and from whose hands kings receive power. Where is 
now the God of Saint George Whom they call 'Jesus', 
Whom the Jews crucified and slew? why has He not come and 
delivered him out of my hands?" And the dragon 1 of the abyss 
commanded them to throw his bones outside the city into a 
dry pit, saying within himself, "Lest the Christians find a bone 
of his, and build a inartyrium over it, and bring up his blood 
against us". 

Now it was the hgur for eating, and the governor, together 
with the sixty-nine governors who were with him, went to eat. 
And while they were eating there came a great earthquake, 
and suddenly the sky became overcast with clouds, and there 
was so great a trembling that mountains split asunder suddenly, 
the earth shook, and the sea was lashed into billows, and the

v aves thereof rose to the height of fifteen cubits. And Michael * 
1 lew with his trumpet, and behold the Lord Jesus came upon 
His chariot of the Cherubim/ and stood on the edge of the pit. 
/aid He said to the archangel Michael, "Go down into the pit, 
jind gather together the bones of my son George, for this valiant [12] 
(reorge thought in his heart, 'I shall not escape from this in- 
strument (into which I had allowed him to fall) this time'; that 
1 e may believe with all his heart, and know that I alone am 
able to deliver him. And Michael went down into the pit, and 
put together the holy body of Saint George: and the Lord took 
hold of his hand, saying, "0 George my beloved, behold, the 
land which formed Adam the first man is now about to create 
,iiee anew;" and the Lord breathed upon his face and filled him 
igain with life, and He embraced him, and went up to heaven 
with His holy angels. 

And Saint George arose in haste from the dead, and went 
,'hrough the squares of the city looking for the governors, and he 
bund them afterwards sitting in judgment. Then he ran into 
ineir presence, and said to them, "Do ye not know who I am?" 
")adianus the governor lifted his eyes guiltily, and said to the 
Saint, "Who art thou then?" The martyr of Christ replied, "I am 
rfeorge whom ye slew yesterday, because ye despised my God 
who could destroy you in a moment." Dadianus continued 
ooking into the face of the saint, and said to him, "Thou art 
not he, but his shade," and one said to him, "Perhaps it is some 
me like him." And Anatolius the general knew him, and said, [13] 
'Of a truth this is George who has risen from the dead;" and 
.e believed with all his company. Now the number of those 
of the army] who believed upon Christ was three thousand and 
ine and one woman 2 from the multitude. And Dadianus the 
;overnor commanded them all to be cast forth outside the city 
a a desert place, and to be divided into four 3 divisions and to 
slain. Thus they consummated their martyrdom at the ninth

hour of the Sabbath day on the fifteenth day of Phamenoth, 1 j 
and went to Paradise in glory, and received pardon for their sins. 
Then the governor commanded them to bring Saint 2 George 
to the tribune; and he commanded them to bring an iron bed j 
to which they might bind the righteous man. Then he made 
them melt lead until it was liquid, and bring a vessel in the 
shape of an iron ladle and thrust it 3 [full of lead] into his mouth. 
Then they drove sixty nails through his head into the bed. And 
Dadianus made them bring a great stone chiselled 4 out to fit 
his head, and they thrust his head in it, and made it fast with 
lead, 5 and they rolled him down with the stone [from a high 
place] and severed his bones one from another; but he bore 
these tortures with fortitude. Then Dadianus commanded them 
to remove the stone from him, and to hang him up head down- 
wards, and to tie a large stone to him, and to light a huge fire 
under him. 

After these things 7 the governor commanded to throw him . 
[u] into a bronze 'bull' 8 and to drive 9 sharp nails into it: then lie 
commanded them to bring a machine to revolve inside the 'bull', 10 1 
that the body of the saint might be broken to pieces 11 by thej 
nails and his limbs become like the particles of dry summer! 
dust; and Saint George bore all these things with fortitude. Then] 
Dadianus commanded them to cast him into prison and to fasten; 
him to the woodwork until he had decided what to do 12 with 
him or how he should destroy 13 him; now he was very handsome 14

in appearance. 1 And in that night the Lord appeared to him, 
s; yiug, 2 "Be patient, 3 George My chosen one, he of good cheer 
a^id be not dismayed, for I am with thee, and there shall be great 
jcy in heaven 1 for thy sake and for the sake of thy contest. 
I ehold, thou hast died once and I raised thee up ; thou shalt yet 
die 5 twice and I will raise thee up again. But the fourth time 
I Myself will come in the clouds, and I will bring thee to the 
place of safety which I have prepared for thy body. H It is I 
who give strength to thy holy body, and I will make thee to lie 
down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob; be not sad of heart 
for I 7 am with thee. Thy martyrdom 8 shall be consummated be- 
fore these seventy governors, and thou shalt testify of Me before 9 
t'aeiu. And they will torture thee for seven years for My name's 
sake, but be not sad of heart, but of good cheer." And the 
Lord saluted him, and went up to heaven with His holy angels, 
and the valiant martyr of Christ looked after Him, 10 and continued 
looking until the day rose; J1 and he rejoiced in the encourage- 
ment which the Lord had given him. 

When it was morning, the governor commanded them to 
bring Saint George to the tribune. When they had brought 
him, one of the seventy governors, whose name was Magnentius, 
said to him, "O George, I seek a sign at thy hands, and if thou 
do it before me, by our lord 12 the Sun, and by the seventy 
gods, 13 and by Artemis the saviour 14 of the whole world, I will 
believe on thy God, and will worship Him 15 nobly." Saint

216 THE MABTYRDOM OF SAINT GEORGE. 

George said to him, "Say what thou wilt ask of me." Magnen- 
tius 1 the governor said to him, "Behold there are seventy 
thrones here, a throne for each of us, and the legs 2 of them 
are made of various kinds of wood, some fruit-bearing and some 
not. Now, if thou wilt make manifest that each wooden leg takes 
root and blossoms through 3 thy prayer; and that each one made 
of the wood of a fruit-bearing tree 4 gives fruit; and that each 
one made of the wood of a tree which does not bear fruit puts 
forth leaves 5 [only]; by this will I believe 6 on thy God." Then 
Saint George threw himself upon his face and prayed to God a 
long time, 7 and sighed. And it came to pass that when he had 
finished his prayer and said 'Amen', and was rising up, there 
was a great 8 trembling and shaking, 9 for the Spirit of God came 
upon the thrones, and they budded and the legs put forth roots 
and blossomed: those that were of fruit-bearing tr^es put forth 
fruit, and those that were not put forth leaves 10 only. Then 
Magnentius the governor said to him, "A great god is Herakles 
who thus manifests 11 his power in dry wood." Saint George 
[16] answered and said, "Wilt thou compare 12 this blind and dumb 
idol Herakles with the God who made the heavens and the 
earth, who made to exist that which did not exist and who 
can destroy thee with him speedily?" Dadianus the governor 
answered and said to Saint George, "0 excellent Galilean, I 
know how I will destroy thee." 13 Then he commanded them to

ai d to throw the two parts of the body of the holy man into it, 
together with lead, and pitch, and animal fat, 1 and bitumen; 2 
and they heated them together until they melted, and the flames 
want up to a great height, and that which was melted flowed 
h ther and thither by reason of the intensity of the flames which 
r< >se to a height of fifteen cubits. And they brought pieces from 
the cauldron to the king, saying, "This (wretched man) 3 has 
ome to an end and is burnt up." And Dadianus commanded 
them to bury the cauldron and the pieces of the saint which 
were in it 4 in the earth, lest the Christians should find his 
remains and build a martyrium over them. When the attendants 
had finished burying the righteous man and were going away, 
there was a great trembling in the air and the earth shook to 
its foundations: and behold the Lord Jesus Christ came down 
from heaven with His holy angels, and stood over the place 
wherein the cauldron was buried. And He said to Zalathiel 5 [1?] 
the angel, "Bring up hither the cauldron", and when he had 
brought it up he laid it down upon the ground. And the Lord, 
in Whom is might, answered [and said], "0 George, my chosen 
one, arise! 6 For I am He that raised up Lazarus from the 
dead, and I now command 7 thee to arise and come forth from 
the cauldron and stand upon thy feet; I am the Lord thy God." 
And straightway the nobly valiant man rose up in great power 
as one who had suffered no pain 8 at all; and every one who 
saw him marvelled. The Lord said to him, "Be strong and of 
good cheer, George, my beloved, for there shall be great joy to 
thee in heaven and upon earth, and before My Good Father, 
and before My angels on account of thy contest; be strong, for 
I am with thee." And He went up to heaven with His holy 
angels.

218 THE MAETYEDOM OP SAINT GEOEGE. 

And Saint George arose and walked, and sent to the gover- 
nor, saying, "Behold, I am going about the city, teaching." 
And the governor straightway commanded them to seize him I 
and to bring him to him 1 to the tribune; and as he was coming 
he cried out, saying, "0 tribune, O tribune, I and my Lord 
Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God come to thee 2 and thy 
Apollo." 

And behold, a woman whose name was Schollastike 3 cried 
out to 4 Saint George the martyr of Christ, saying, "0 my lord 
George, my son was yoking his ox in the field, and the ox fell 
[is] down and died. my lord, help my poverty, for I know that 
my lord is able to do so through God." The saint said to her, 
"Take this staff from my hands, and go to the field and lay it 
upon the dead ox, and say, 'Thus saith Saint George in the name 
of Jesus Christ, Arise and stand up';" and the woman did as 
he had told her, and the ox arose straightway. And the woman 
glorified God, saying, "Blessed is the hour in which thou didst 
come into 5 this city, verily thou art a prophet and God hath 
visited His people." 

And again Dadianus sent after the martyr. When he had 
come, Trakiali 6 the governor spake to him, saying, "Concerning 
the dry wood which budded, we know not of a certainty whe- 
ther it was thy God who made it bud, or our god. Now behold 
we have here 7 a sepulchre cut in the rock on the road to the 
cemetery, and no man knoweth where it is, nor where the 
opening 8 of it is: but if through thy prayers the bones of those

wuo are buried therein arise, I swear by my lord the Sun, and 
b f the Moon and by Artemis the mother of the gods, that I will 
-tnlieve 1 upon thy God and become a Christian." The blessed 

eorge answered and said. "There come to me the words which 

1 have heard in the Gospel, saying, If ye 2 have faith like a grain 
f mustard seed ye shall say to this mountain, Depart hence, 

[;ind it shall depart], and there shall be nothing impossible 3 to 
you. 4 But now arise, thou and Dadianus and the governors"' of [u>] 
Egypt, and open the door of the tomb and bring 6 hither to me 
the rotten bones of those who are dead, together with their dust." 
Then the three governors went straightway to the place of the 
sepulchre and opened the door, but they found no bones at all 
of the dead; and they took up the bone dust which they found, 
and brought it to Saint George: and Saint George threw him- 
self down upon his knees, and prayed for the space of an hour. 7 
When he had finished his prayer and said 'Amen', there was a 
"mighty 8 trembling, and flashes of lightning shone upon 
those bones. And there came forth immediately from them five 
men and nine women and three 9 little children; and when the 
governors saw what had taken place, they marvelled. Then the 
governors cried out to one of those who had risen from the dead, 
and said to him, "What is thy name?" And he that had risen 
from the dead answered and said, "My name is Boes." l Dadia- 
nus said to him, "How many years is it since thou didst die?" 
and he replied, "More than two hundred years." 11 Dadianus said 
to him "Had Christ come into the world at that time, or not?" 12 
and he that had risen from the dead said, "I do not know, nor

did I ever hear that He had come." Dadianus said to him, 
"On what god dost thou believe?" 1 and he that had risen from 

[20] the dead said to him, "Do not force me, 2 governor, for I am 
ashamed to say what god I helieved on. I helieved on a god 
whom they called Apollo, a stupid, dumb, deaf 3 and blind [idol]. 
When I left the evil living 4 of this life, I went to live in a place 
in the river of fire, until I should go where the worm dieth not. 5 
Hast thou never heard of the Scriptures of the Christians which 
say, 'Remember me in the day of terror in the place where 
there is no help, 6 but disquiet and fear.' There is no mercy 
there, neither can the Judge be persuaded; 7 but the work which 
every man hath done shall be laid before His eyes. Then 8 the 
Judge 9 will answer and say, 'Show me each one his work that 
I may give him 10 his wages, according to that which he hath 
done;' hear then, king, and I will tell thee. Every man who 
lives on earth, and confesses Him whom they crucified, if he 
bears many sins in his body when he departs 11 from this wicked 
world, will live in fetters on account of his sins, but on the 
Lord's day he will have rest because the Lord Jesus looks upon 
those who are punished on the Lord's day; 12 but as for me, there is 
no rest at all given to me on the Lord's day because I did not con- 
fess Christ's godhead when I lived upon earth. Why thenshould 
we confess 13 and worship idols and images which cannot move"? 
Dadianus the governor answered 1 " 4 and said to him, "Thy sense is 
destroyed through the length of the time of the two hundred years." 15 

[21] Then he that had risen from the dead looked upon Saint George

tie martyr of Christ, and said to him, "0 my lord the holy 1 
.martyr of Christ, we beseech thee to give us the holy baptism 
cf Christ, that we may not fall back again into the punishment 
ii which we were." 2 When Saint George saw their faith, he 
smote the earth with his foot, and water welled up, and he 
I Baptized them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the 
Holy Spirit. And he said to them, "Depart in peace to Paradise," 
Mid they straightway disappeared and were not seen. 3 
And Dadianus the governor was stupefied for a time. 4 Then 
the governors who were with him said, "This man is a magician 5 , 
:-{tnd by his magic has made demons rise up before us, saying, 
'I have raised the dead'." Dadianus said, "I will now disgrace 
the whole race 7 of Christians." And he commanded, saying, 
"Choose me a poor widow woman whose like for poverty there 
is not in the whole world." And they went round about through 
the city and found a poor widow, and they put the righteous 
man with her, wishing to disgrace 8 the Christians. When they 
had brought 9 the righteous man into the widow's house, he said 
to her, "Give me some bread, for I am hungry." The poor widow 
woman answered and said to him, 10 "Master, I have no bread in 
my house." Saint George said to her, "What god dost thou 
believe on, that thou hast no bread in thy house?" The woman [22] 
said to him, "I believe in Apollo and Herakles 11 the mighty im- 
perial gods." Saint George said to her, "Verily it is a just 
judgment of God that thou hast no bread in thy house." l2 And 
the woman looked upon his face, and saw that it was like that 
of an angel of God, and she said within herself, "I will go and 
beg bread from my neighbours and acquaintances, that I may 
set it before the man of God, and peradventure by reason of

his coming into my house I shall find favour in the sight of my 
neighbours." And it came to pass that when the poor widow 
woman had gone out the righteous man sat down 1 by the foot 
of the wooden pillar in her house; and it straightway took root 2 , 
and put forth leaves, and became a'^large tree, and towered up 
fifteen cubits above the house. And behold Michael the arch- 
angel came 3 with a table 4 filled with all go.od things, and the 
saint 5 ate and was comforted; and the table was filled with 
bread and every good thing. When the poor widow woman 
came into her house, and saw the great marvels, that is to say, 
the table set out within and filled with all good things, and the 
pillar 6 of dry wood which had taken root, 7 she said in her heart, 
"The God of the Christians hath remembered the poverty of the 
widow, and hath brought His martyr into my house to help me 
the wretched in spirit;" 8 and she straightway 9 threw herself down 
at the feet of the saint and worshipped 10 him. Saint George" 
[23] answered and said to her, 11 "Rise up and stand 12 upon thy feet, 
for I 13 ain not the God of the Christians, but only His servant, 14 
and I endure sufferings for His holy name's sake." And again 
the woman said to him, "Master, if I have found favour before 
thee, let me venture to speak one word before thee." The holy 15 
man said, "Speak." The woman said to him, "Master, I have 
here a little boy nine years old who is blind, deaf, dumb, and 
lame, and I am ashamed to show him to my neighbours: if now 
thou wilt make him see and hear and speak, I will believe 16 upon 
thy God." The righteous man answered and said, "Bring hither 
the child to me;" and she brought him from the third storey of

bar house, and laid him in the bosom of the righteous man. And 
Saint George prayed over him with his head bowed down 1 over 
the child lying in his bosom, and he breathed upon him, and the 
s;ales fell from his eyes, and he saw straightway with his eyes. 2 
^ he woman said to the saint, "Master, I beseech thee to make 
him to speak, and to hear with his ears, and to stand up and 
valk upon his feet." 3 Saint George said to her, "O woman, this 
i ; sufficient now, but when I need him 4 to serve me in a matter, 
1 will call him and he shall hear me, 5 and shall go and serve 
nie." And the woman was not able to answer 6 him a word, for 
she saw that his face was like the face of an angel of God. 

And the lawless and impious governor, Dadianus, and the [24] 
sixty-nine governors who were with him, came out from their 
meal, and were walking about and enjoying themselves in the 
open spaces of the city. When the dragon of the abyss, that 
is to say, Dadianus the governor, saw the tree which had sprung 
up by means of the righteous man, 7 he asked one of his rulers, 8 
;" [Whence] is this new sight, this fig tree?" And he told him, 
saying, "This is the place into which George the mighty saint 
of the Galileans was cast.'' 

Then the governor commanded to bring him and to set him 
before the public assembly, 9 and he made them flog him without 
mercy 10 until his flesh was cut to pieces, [and set fire under him] 
until his body was consumed through the intensity 11 of the flame; 
and he made them put vessels of fire upon his head. After 
'-hese things he made them hang him up 12 to torture him, and 
they filled iron pots full 1 ^ of fire and placed them under him,

until he yielded up his spirit. Then the governor commanded 
them to take his body and cast it 1 away upon a high mountain, 
and the dragon said in his heart, "The birds of heaven will 
come and devour his flesh." "When they had taken away the 
body of the blessed 2 man to a mountain 3 called 4 Siris, 5 the 
attendants cast it away there, and returned. Now when these 
devilish attendants had come away 6 from the mountain a 
short distance, about thirty 7 stadia, there came mighty thunders 
[25] and lightnings so that the whole mountain shook. And behold 
the Lord came upon a cloud, and said to Saint George, "0 ex- 
cellent and chosen one, rise up from where thou liest;" and 
straightway the martyr of Christ arose. And he ran after the 
attendants, 8 crying out after them, and saying, "Wait a little for 
me until I come up with you." When the attendants looked 
back, and saw the righteous man running after them, they glorified 
God, and threw themselves down at the feet of the saint, and 
besought him, saying, "Give us the seal of Christ," and the 
blessed and righteous man Saint George baptised them in the 
name of the Father and the Sou and the Holy Ghost. Then 
they came and stood before the lawless governor, and they al 
cried out, 9 "We are Christians, openly;" and the kings were 
speechless with fear by reason of this thing. Then Dadianus 
commanded to bring 10 the attendants and to set them before him, 1 
and he made them crucify one of them who was called Klaudane 12 
and torture him^ 13 two others called Lasiri and Lasiriane 1 *

they put to the sword, and Klekon 1 they threw to the wild 
boasts. 2 

After these things the governors commanded them to bring 
Siint George. And Dadianus the governor answered and said 
t< him, "0 George, I swear to thee by my Lord the Sun, and 
by the Moon, and by the gods, and by their mother Artemis, 
tl iat I will treat thee kindly like my beloved son, and that I will 
g adly give thee every thing that thou askest; only hearken to [26] 
ID e as a father, and agree with me only so far as to worship the 
gods." Saint George answered and said to him, "I marvel at 
the words which thou 3 hast just now spoken. I have been inthy 
power 1 until this day, why hast thou not spoken them before? 5 
Behold, thou hast put me to the torture for the past seven years, 
thou hast slain me thrice, I died three times, and three times 
did my Lord Jesus Christ raise me up; but I never heard these 
words before from thee until this present. 7 Knowest. thou not, 

governor, that this race of Christians is one that loves victory, 
and that it fights 8 against those who fight against it? But now 

1 rejoice that I can make thy mightiness glad, and I will offer 
sacrifice to thy great god Apollo whom 10 thou lovest." When 
Dadianus the governor heard these things, he rejoiced greatly and 
took hold of the head 11 of Saint George and kissed it. And the 
righteous man resisted him, saying, "Nay, nay, governor, for it 
is not the custom of the Galileans to be thus treated unless they 
have first worshipped the gods; command 12 that they put me 13 in

him, "Far be it from me to punish thee henceforth; forgive me 
for all the sufferings that I have inflicted 1 upon thee, for I 
wrought them on thee in ignorance. Accept me now as 2 a father, 

[27] and come, I will take thee into the interior 3 of the palace where 
Queen Alexandra is resting in her chamber." When the gover- 
nor had brought him in, he put him in the chamber with Queen 
Alexandra, and he shut the door upon them both and went out, 
for it was evening. Then Saint George bowed his knees 4 , and 
began to pray to God, saying, "0 God, my God, there is none 
like 5 unto Thee among the gods; 6 Thou art the God who 
doest marvellous things. 7 Why do the heathen cry out and the 
people imagine vain things? All the governors and rulers of the 
earth are gathered together, and they speak against God and 
against His Christ." 8 Alexandra the Queen answered, and said 
to the saint, "O George, my master, I am listening unto thee 
attentively, and I like thy words. Who are these who 'cry out'?| 
who 9 are these who 'imagine [vain things]' and who is 'Christ'? 
teach me, I pray thee, that I may know him." Saint George j 
answered, saying, "If thou desirest 10 to know Christ and His words, j 
Queen Alexandra, listen. When God had created the heavens] 
and the earth, He took a clod of earth and made a man likej 
unto Him in His own form and likeness; thus He made flesh j 
out of earth. Then again He created sinews in it, and He 
made the skin and the various other parts of the man, and the; 
eyes, both seeing and unseeing 11 (?), the tongue, 12 the throat, the 

[28] hands and every thing which is contained in man. Is not that 
which is within [us] of earth? And the Lord Christ took uponj 
Himself flesh from the holy Virgin Mary, and became man: He

is the God who has raised me up from the dead, and it is for 
tl e sake of His Holy name and of His Good Father, and the 
Holy Spirit that I have endured sufferings. For Adam's sake, 
Queen Alexandra, God made the heavens, and created the 
sun and the shining moon and the stars and the rest of creation." 
The Queen answered and said to him, "Explain this matter to 
n e." Saint George said to her, "The idolaters who are in the 
\vorld to-day worship 1 abominable things and not God, for they 
sorve soulless 2 idols fashioned by the hands of man, and despise 
God the Creator of the universe." The Queen said to him, 
"Then are these gods, demons?" Saint George said to her, "Yes, 
they are demons." The Queen said to him, "How did the Son of 
God come into the world?" 3 Saint George answered and said 4 
to her, "Hearken unto me, Queen Alexandra. The Prophet 
David saith, 'Thou that sittest upon the cherubim, appear, show 
Thy strength, and come to help us.' 5 And again he saith, 'He 
shall come down like rain upon the mown grass' fi , that is, the 
blessed Virgin Mary. And again the prophet Habakkuk cried 
out, saying, '0 God, I heard the noise of Thee, and 7 1 was afraid 
considered Thy works and I was speechless.' 8 When the 
prophet Habakkuk spake these things, he spake truly, for he 
biew that Jesus Christ would come down into this world, 9 and [29] 
le feared. And he considered that it was God who would be- 
come man, that salvation might be ours, and that He might de- 
iver us from the hand of the devil, the enemy of all truth, 10 who 
eacleth astray these seventy wicked governors." The Queen 
answered and said, "Verily thou speakest 11 well, and hast per-

beseech thee to pray for me, that all crafts and wiles of demons 
and idols may straightway flee away from me." Saint George 
answered and said to her, "If thou believest on Jesus Christ 
who was crucified , no blemish 1 of demons shall draw nigh thee 
at all." She said to him, "0 George, my master, I believe, but 
I am afraid of the exceeding wicked governor, Dadianus, who 
devours flesh 2 like a wild beast. Keep the matter secret, and 
tell no one until I wear the crown of martyrdom in the kingdom i 
of Christ; and now let me 3 rest until the morning. 

When the morning had come the governor commanded the] 
herald to cry out through the whole city, saying, "Gather to-! 
gether, [0 ye people,] to see this mighty Galilean worship Apollo." j 
And the governor commanded them to bring Saint George into the : 
courtyard of the temple where he was to offer sacrifice to Apollo; 
but Saint George said to the attendants who had come aftei : 
him, "Go ye to the governor, and I, and 4 the priests, and the 
ministers 5 of the temple will go to Apollo, and worship him/H 
[30] And the herald continued to gather together with diligence then 
whole city, both small and great, to see the sight. 

When the poor widow woman whose son Saint George had healed j 
saw this, she straightway 6 uncovered her head and rent her clothes.: j 
and set out for the place where the saint was. And she said tc 
him, "0 thou who didst raise the dead; who didst make th< 
blind from their birth to see; 7 who didst make to appear those 
who were dried up and gone to dust; 8 who didst make pieces

S;int George heard these things he smiled upon her, 1 and said, 
"Put down thy child out of thy arms," and she put 2 him down. 
S;iint George said to the little child, "In the name of my 
L 3rd Jesus Christ I wish thee to come and be my servant in 
tl is matter," and straightway the little boy heard with his ears, 
laud came leaping towards Saint George. Saint George said to 
| h m, "Come, go into the temple of Apollo and say to his idol, 
'George the servant of Christ calleth thee'." 3 And the child 
1 want quickly into the temple and said 4 , "I tell thee, 5 blind, [3 ij 
dimb and senseless idol, to come forth quickly, for George the 
servant of Christ calleth thee." And the evil spirit which 
sojourned 6 in the idol cried out within him, saying, 7 "0 Na- 
zarene, thou drawest every one to thee, and thou hast sent 8 
this 9 little boy to me to disgrace me;" and straightway the 
idol of Apollo leaped down from his pedestal and came to Saint 
George. And Saint George answered and said to him, "Art 
thou the god of the heathen?" The demon who sojourned 6 in 
the idol said, "Bear with me a little, and I will tell thee 10 every 
thing before thou askest (P) 11 me;" and Saint George said to 
him, "Speak." And he began to speak and to declare every- 
thing, saying, "0 master, and saint of God, thou art 12 not ignorant 
that of old time God made a Paradise in Eden, 13 towards the 
east, and that God put in it the man He had made in His own 
likeness, And God said, "Let the angels come and worship him;" 
and straightway Michael and all his army of angels came and 
worshipped him. But I would not worship the man whom God

had created, * and I disputed 2 the command of God, saying, '0 
righteous judge, whom the Cherubim 3 full of eyes overshadow, 
how can I who am more excellent than this man, worship that 
which is inferior to me?' Then God was very wroth with me, 
[32] and He cast me forth from the glory with which I was sur- 
rounded, and He cast me forth from heaven like an eagle on a 
rock, and I was in fetters; and now I live in this idol, 4 and I 
lead astray the children of men. And I fly and mount up to 
the firmament of heaven, and I hear the angels praising God, 
and when I hear the sentence 5 pronounced that a man shall die 
and go forth from this world, I go to him and inflict sufferings 
upon him until he blasphemes God." Saint George answered 
and said to him, "Thou hast not spoken the truth, creator 6 of

"And when the chief of this lower company saw what majesty had boon 
given to Adam, he was jealous of him from that day, and did not wish to 
worship him. And he said to his hosts, 'Do not worship him, and do not 
praise (him) with the (other) angels. For it is meet that he should worship me 
who am Spirit and fire, and not that I should worship dust formed from dust.' 
And when the rebel had meditated these things he became disobedient, and 
of his own free will and choice he separated himself from God, and he and 
all his company were driven away, and fell (from heaven) on the sixth day. 
Now his fall from heaven took place at the second hour of the day. And 
their glorious garments were stripped off them , and he was called Satana 
because he had turned aside and Shida because he was cast out, and Daiwfi 
because the garment of his glory perished."

lies. Thou wast cast forth from heaven on account of thy pride 
ii having prepared a throne for thyself to sit upon, and for having 
made thyself equal l with Him that is more exalted than thou: and 
He drove thee suddenly forth from heaven, with all thy hosts, into 
tie depths of the sea." When the spirit heard these things 
f'om him, he was speechless, and found not a word to say. And 
straightway Saint George smote the earth with his foot, and it 
cpened its mouth, and he said to the idol, "Go down now into 
the abyss, unclean spirit, and give speech to all the souls 
that thou hast destroyed;" and the unclean spirit went down 
straightway 2 into the abyss together with the idol 3 in which he 
dwelt. And Saint George smote the earth with his foot, and it 
closed up as it was before. 4 After these things Saint George 
unloosed his shoe-latchets, and went to the idol of Herakles, and 
pulled him down upon the ground, and broke him in pieces. And 
lie said to the other idols, "Go down into the abyss, gods of [33] 
the heathen, for I have come against you in anger and wrath." 
When the priests and the ministers and the attendants who waited 
upon the idols saw the destruction of their gods, they laid hold 
of Saint George, and tied his hands behind him, and took him 
to the governor, and showed him everything that had happened 
to the gods and to Apollo, 5 saying, "He has been thrown down 
into the abyss." And it came to pass that when Dadianus the 
governor heard these things, he was filled with fury, and said to 
Saint George, "0 thou who art worthy of destruction, didst thou 
not say to me, 'I will worship the glorious gods where thou dost 
worship them'? and thou saidst that thou wouldst throw 6 incense 
to them, and yet thou dost use works of magic in this manner; 
knowest thou not that thy life is in my hands?" Saint George

answered and said to him, "Go and bring 1 Apollo hither 2 to 
me, and I will worship him before thee." Dadianus said to him, 
"It has just 3 been told me by the priests that he has gone down 4 
into the abyss, and now thou wishest to send me thither alive." 
Saint George answered and said to him, 5 "If Apollo was the 
mighty god in whom thou didst trust 6 to deliver thee in the 
evil day, how was it that he was unable to help himself, 7 and 
was the first of all thy seventy gods to go to destruction? When 
my Lord God cometh to change the heavens and the earth, what 
wilt thou and what will he in whom thou puttest thy trust, do?" 
Then the governor in great grief 8 for the destruction of his god 
Apollo, went into the palace to Queen Alexandra, and said, b 'I suffer 
by reason of this race of Christians, and especially through this 
Galilean 9 George." Queen Alexandra answered and said to the 
governor, "Have I not told thee many times to let alone this 
race of Christians? for their God 10 is the true God, and He will 
humble thee in thy pride." The governor 11 answered and saidi 
to the Queen, 12 "Woe is me, Alexandra, for I fear 13 that the 
magic of the Christians has entered into thee;" and he laid hold 
of the hair 14 of her head, and dragged her along until he brought 
her to the sixty-nine governors who were with him, and he began 
[34] to tell them everything that had happened. Then the governors 
commanded to bring her and to hang her upon the wooden horse | 
to torture her, and she said never a word , but was looking up 
to heaven. And she looked in the face of Saint George, and! 
said to him, "Pray for me while I suffer these tortures." Saint

G corge answered and said to her, "Bear them patiently for a 
little, Queen, that thou raayest receive a crown from the hands 
[jof my Lord Jesus Christ." And she said to him, "0 George, 
my master, what shall I do, for I have not received holy baptism?" 
baint George said to her, "Go, and thou shalt receive baptism 
;1 y the pouring out of holy blood." And while they were taking 
1 er away 1 to destroy her, she cried out, saying, "O my Lord 
, esus Christ, behold I have kept the door of my palace open 
[to Thee], and have not closed it, do thou, O Lord, not close the [35] 
Cioor of the paradise of joy against me." When Alexandra the 
Queen had said these things she nobly consummated her martyr- 
dom on the fifteenth day of Pharmuthi 2 at the third hour, and 
she received her incorruptible crown. 

After these things the governors called Saint George and 
Jiaid to him,- "Behold thou hast destroyed the Queen, and now 
we will gain the mastery over thee." 3 And Magnentius 4 one of 
the governors said, "Let us pass sentence of death upon him," 
and the thing pleased "> them all. Then Dadianus the governor 
sat down and wrote his sentence of death, saying, "I give George, 
the chief of the Galileans, who hath put the decrees of the gover- 
nors behind his back, over to the sword; and know, O ye peoples, 
that we are innocent of his blood this day;" and the sixty-nine 
governors who were with him 7 signed 8 the writing. Then Saint 
George went to the place where he should receive his crown,

rejoicing. When he had come to that spot he said to the 
soldiers who were holding him, "Brethren, bear with me 1 a 
little, that I may pray for the seventy governors who have tor- 
tured 2 me during the last seven years." Then Saint George 
looked up to heaven, and said, "0 my Lord Jesus Christ who 
didst send fire from heaven by Saint Elijah to devour the two 
captains of fifty and their hundred soldiers, let now I pray Thee 
that same fire come down from Thee and devour 3 these seventy 
[36] governors and those round about them, that not one of them may 
be left; for Thine is the glory for ever and ever, Amen." And 
while 4 he was praying, there straightway came forth fire from 
heaven, and it devoured the seventy governors and their hosts, 
in number about five thousand. And again the saint asked the 
soldiers to wait a little longer, and he prayed, saying, "0 my 
Lord Jesus Christ, I see a multitude here wishing 5 to carry 
away my G body, but my body will not suffice for the whole 
world. I beseech Thee to grant a favour 7 to me, grant that 
my name may heal 8 all those afflicted by unclean spirits, who ! 
shall remember Thy servant George. Lord my God, let 
every one who is greatly afraid in the place of judgement come 
forth in peace if he remembers my name; and do Thou write j 
in the Book 9 of Life the name of every one who shall write 
down my martyrdom and the sufferings 10 which I have endured, j 
If the heavens withhold their 11 rain from the earth, and men 
make mention of the name of the God of George, I beseech Thee I 
grant that Thy hlp may support them speedily. God of ; 
truth, for the sake of whose holy name I have suffered 12 these ; 
pains, remember all those who shall show kindness to the poor j 
in my name, and forgive them the sins 13 which they have com-.

niitted." And when the saint had said these things in the fer- 
pour of his heart, behold the Lord Jesus Christ appeared to him, [37] 
s; tying, "Come up now into heaven, and rest thyself in the 
dwelling which I have prepared for thee in the kingdom of My 
lather which is in heaven. O excellent George, I will fulfil 
fe^ery thing which thou hast asked for, and many other things 
greater than these." Then Saint George said to the executioners, 1 
"Come now, and perform that which has been commanded you;" 
and he stretched 2 out his neck, and they took off his holy head, 
and there came forth water and milk. And Jesus Christ took 
bis blessed soul and embraced it 3 and took it up to heaven with 
Him, and gave it as a gift to His Good Father and the Holy 
Spirit. Then straightway the earth shook to its foundations, and 
t'aere were suddenly thunders and lightnings so that no man 
passed that place for mighty dread. Now all those who became 
martyrs through Saint George were eight thousand, six hundred 
and ninety-nine together with Alexandra the Queen. And Saint 
George consummated his martyrdom on the twenty-third day of 
the month Pharmuthi, on the Lord's day, at the ninth hour of 
the day. I Pasikrates 4 the servant of Saint George was with 
my master until the end of his contest 5 by the sentence of death 
of the impious governors. I have written down his holy martyr- 
dom, and have added nothing thereto nor taken any thing there- 
from ; and my Lord Jesus Christ helped me, to Whom together 
with His Good Father and the Holy Spirit be glory for ever and 
3ver, Amen.

236 THE ENCOMIUM BY SAINT THEODOSIUS. 

These are the mighty deeds and miracles which God wrought 
~by the hand of Saint George after his martyrdom and after 
the coming of his body into Diospolis his native city, and after 
the building of his shrine, which was completed and consecrated 
on the seventh day of the month Athor, and after the laying of 
his body within it. Saint Theodosius, 1 Bishop of Jerusalem, 
recited the mighty deeds and miracles which God wrought by 
Saint George, and the gracious acts which took place in his 
holy martyrium^ when he pronounced the following encomium 
on the day of his holy commemoration, which is the seventh 
day of Athor, when there was gathered together a great multi- 
tude of the orthodox* to celebrate the festival of Saint George 
in his shrine and to praise our Lord Jesus Christ. 

"I will open my mouth in parables, 1 will declare the things 
which have been hidden from the beginning, which we have heard 4 i 
and known, and which our fathers have declared unto us." 5 As 

1 As this Theodosius, Bishop of Jerusalem, is referred to by Theodotut 
of Aucyra in his encomium upon St. George (Coptic text, p. 163) he must either 
have been a contemporary of his, or have lived before his time, for there is no 
reason to suppose that the mention of him in the encomium of Theodotus is | 
an interpolation, or that it refers to Theodosius the Bishop of Jerusalem who 
flourished about A. D. $69. See Cave, Script. Eccles. Historia Literaria, p. 557, : 
and Le Quien, Oriens Christianus, iii, p. 370. The Theodosius here referred ! 
to is probably the Palestinian monk who caused such trouble at the Council j 
of Chalcedon, and who afterwards came to Jerusalem and usurped the episcopal 
throne of Juvenal. Many crimes and murders were committed through his 
agency in Jerusalem, but he was eventually expelled from that city about the 
year 453. He fled away and took refuge in the mountains of Sinai and 
his end is unknown. For his history and a discussion as to whether he ap- 
pointed himself Bishop or not, see Le Quien, Oriens Christianus, iii, col. 164;

tin Holy Spirit spake by the mouth of David the righteous king, 
so also will I show forth to you the gifts and the miracles which 
tea ne to pass through Saint George the mighty martyr of Christ, 
an! what happened to him in the city of Tyre where he con- 
mi nmated [his martyrdom] under Dadianus, the lawless [gover- 
morj of the Persians. Now Tyre was the city of king 1 Nebuchad- [39] 
nezzar who was king of 2 all the Chaldeans, and he forsook his 
cry Tyre, and went to Babylon, 3 and built it in a beautiful 
manner, and fortified it, and made it his royal city. And it 
canie to pass that when they had taken off the head of Saint 
Gaorge it was separated from the body from the ninth hour of 
the day 4 until sunset ; and Pasikrates the servant of Saint George 
stood 5 by it weeping over it and watching it. And behold God 
put it into the heart of two of his fellow-servants to come 
to the city to visit their master, and to learn what had become 
of him; 6 and [the people] told them, saying, "They have slain him 
to -day." And they wept and rent their garments, and came 7 to 
the body, and they found Pasikrates sitting and weeping; and 
they sat down and wept with him. After these things they rose 
up together and joined the head 8 of the saint to his body, and 
it united with it as if it had never been severed at all. And 
they took the napkin 9 which one of them had on him and 
wrapped his holy body smeared with blood in it : and they found 
a new sepulchre near to them outside the city, and they laid the 
body of the holy man in it until it was morning, and they sat 
outside the door. And it came to pass on the morrow that they 
rose up, and went into the city and bought incense and linen; 
,nd they brought them and put them around the body 10 of Saint 
George; and they found that the head had joined on to the body

as if he were alive and there was no mark of the sword stroke 
upon it at all. And the servants marvelled greatly 2 , and believed 
[40] with all their heart that God had received him to Himself, and 
that everything which He had promised 3 him while he was alive 
should in truth be done for him. Then they spread incense over 
him, and carefully prepared him for burial according to the custom 
of the country, and they buried ' him in a sepulchre 5 , and sealed 6 
it with seals, and they set Pasikrates outside to watch it. And 
the two other servants went into the city to labour for their 
living, and to obtain money wherewith to carry the body 7 of the 
saint with them to their country. And it came to pass that 
after they had worked for two months the Lord sent to them 
there a merchant ship from Joppa 8 laden with merchandise: and 
when they had sold the cargo the servants of Saint George spake 
with the sailors, and they agreed 9 with them for a price to take 
them and the body of Saint George on board; and by the help 
of God they came to Joppa. When the sailors and the mer- 
chant 10 heard 11 that it was the body of Saint George ofMelitene 
of Diospolis who had gone into the country of the Persians, they 
marvelled greatly at the 12 manner of his martyrdom; and they all 
arose and worshipped him, and glorified God that they were 
esteemed worthy of carrying 13 Saint George in their ship. And one 
of the sailors, Leontius 14 of Joppa, an acquaintance of Saint George, 
brought horses and laid the body upon them, and carried it 15 into 
Saint George's own house [at Diospolis] ; and when he arrived there 
he found Saint George's mother and sisters had gone to their rest.

Tien the report spread abroad that they had brought the body[4ij 
pi Saint George who had been martyred, and whom they had 
lot seen for the past seven years, into the house, 1 and because 
tl ey were Christians they threw themselves down and worshipped 
h m, 2 weeping and marvelling at the things which had taken 
p ace; and again they rejoiced and glorified God that they were 
worthy of such a gift. Then Pasikrates and the two other 
l^orvants 3 whose names 4 were Lukios and Kirinneos told the 
p 30ple of the city everything that had happened to their master, 
a id they all marvelled. And they laid the body of Saint George 
tit his house for a week, and they all came and worshipped it^ 
When the great day of the festival 5 came they all assembled in 
phe church, and the martyrdom of Saint George was read to all 
the believers, and they marvelled at him and especially at all 
that had happened 6 to him, and they glorified God and His 
loly martyr. And behold when a certain wealthy nobleman of 
tie city 7 called Andrew, who was of the family 8 of Saint George's 
mother, heard his martyrdom read, God opened his heart and 
he listened attentively to the passage [in the martyrdom] 9 which 
;says, "And the Lord appeared unto him, 10 saying, I swear to 
ahee by Myself that no harm shall befall any man who shall con- 
i-fess thy sufferings, for I know that he is flesh and blood. No 
evil shall happen to any man who is in any necessity whatsoever^ 
whether 11 he be in peril by fearful judgments, or by many waters, 
or on the mountains, or in any affliction, if he remembers 

name and the name of My Father which is in heaven, and [42] 
the Holy Spirit, and My servant George, and I will deliver him

of any one who shall write down thy martyrdom and thy mighty 
deeds, and shall manifest forth thy day and the sufferings which 
thou hast endured in My name. I will never allow to want 1 any 
good thing in this world during his whole life, the man who shall 
make an offering or a charity in thy name, or who shall make 
a book on thy sufferings 2 and place it in faith in thy shrine; he 
shall be numbered with My saints. I am the Lord God, and 
that which I have said 3 will I do. I will take into My kingdom 
whosoever shall build 4 a shrine in thy name, and I will never 
forsake him. I will cause mighty miracles to take place where- 5 
soever thy body shall be laid ; I will make the nations of the 
earth c come to thy shrine and bring thee gifts ; and I will gather 
together to thy shrine all the heathen of the earth, Jews, Sama-j 
ritans, Persians, the children of Esau 7 and even the barbarians 
and they shall bring thee gifts." 

When the believing and truly God-loving man Andrew hearc 
of all these cures with which God would benefit the people through 
him, he received great joy like Jacob when he saw the face of hisj 
son Joseph the ruler in Egypt, and he rose up quickly and wrot(| 
[43] down his martyrdom and put it in his house, saying, "I will set thd 
memorial 8 of my brother in my house, that his blessing and favouij 
may abide with me for ever." And he cried out among the wholtj 
multitude, saying, "My brethren, as we have suffered great tri- 
bulation 9 for the sake of our brother who was slain with thc:| 
sword, let us now rejoice exceedingly that he has received grea 
honour in heaven, and verily, because he has thus received free

"Let be done what thou hast said. If thou wilt undertake the 
matter, we will undertake with thee, that the blessing of the saint 
n ay be with us and with our children, and that his blessing may 
a )ide in our city for ever." And it came to pass that when he 
hiard these things he rejoiced. 2 And he rose up early in the 
n orning, and brought his servants and labourers and the servants 
o ? Saint George, and he pulled down the walls 3 and the dwelling 
of Saint George, and said, "I will not lay my brother's body in 
strange ground," and the rest of the people of the city helped 
him and laboured at the holy place. And he deposited the body 
of Saint George in the church, until they had cleared the ground 4 [44] 
and could bring it back again. And it came to pass that when 
they had cleared the place they laid the foundations, and he 
narked out with straw where the walls should be 5 according to 
the size 6 of the little shrine, and he built it as well as he could 7 
(i. e., according to his means). 

The first miracle of Saint George. 

Now 'the first miracle which Saint George wrought was in 
respect of the building of the shrine in which they were to lay 
his body, in the peace of God, Amen. 8 And it came to pass

that Andrew, who had set himself to build 1 the martyrium of 
Saint George, was lying on his bed one night and thinking within 
himself, 2 saying, "I have erred in beginning this building, especially 
as up to this present I see no man who will help me; and I 
know 3 not whether I can finish it or not. If I do not finish it, 
men will laugh at me, saying, 'This man began to build, and was 
not able to finish', even as our Saviour said." And while he 
was meditating these things in his heart upon his bed, slumber 
overtook him and he slept. And behold Saint George appeared 
to him 4 in a dream, saying, "Andrew, Andrew, knowest thou 
me?" and he said, "What is it, master?" Saint George said to 
him, "Knowest thou not who I am?" and Andrew said, "No." 
When Andrew knew him in his dream, he was astonished, and 
rose up and cast himself down at his feet and worshipped him, say- 
ing, 5 "Art thou alive, George, my master?" Saint George said 
[45] to him, "Thanks be to God, my body is with you, but I live in 
God by the Holy Spirit. And now I see that thou art down- 
hearted about the shrine which thou hast undertaken to build 6 
in my name, in which to lay my body, and I have come to thee 
to show thee a little wealth belonging to my ancestors out of which 
thou mayest pay for the shrine. Be of good cheer, and be not faint 
of heart, for I will put it 7 into the hearts of the people of this 
city to help thee. Arise and follow me and I will show thee a 
place in the room of my house ; which thou hast pulled down, 
wherein thou didst- lay my body before thou didst take it into 
the church." Then Andrew, in his dream, rose up, and followed 
him. And Saint George took him into the room of his house, 
and showed him the place and set a mark on it with his finger,

a id said to him, 1 "Rise up early in the morning and come here, 2 
a icl dig down into this place one cubit, and thou shalt find the 
blessing which God hath set apart for thee." And when Andrew 
voke 3 up from his vision he roused his wife, and told her every- 
t ling 4 which he had seen in his vision, and they marvelled greatly. 
His wife said to him, "Rise up now this very night, and let us 
1 ght a lamp, and go to the place of which he told thee, and 
thou wilt see if we find the mark or not. If we find the mark 
as thou hast seen in thy vision, then of a certainty it is Saint 5 
George who has appeared to thee, 6 and we may in truth believe 
that we shall find the money 7 even as he hath shown 8 thee." So 
Jthey two arose, and lit 9 a lamp which the woman carried, and [46] 
Andrew took a spade in his hand and went to that place at 
midnight, and when he looked upon the ground he found the 
mark which the saint had made with his finger 10 in the vision; 
and Andrew and his wife marvelled greatly, and believed with 
all their hearts that it was Saint George who had made it. 11 
Then the valiant Andrew bound a napkin round his loins, and 
took the spade in his hand and dug into the earth, and when he 
had gone down a little way he found a jar having its mouth 
sealed up, with clay (?), and he dug it up and found it untouched. 
And Andrew and his wife threw themselves upon their faces, and 
worshipped God and Saint George; then they arose and lifted 
it up, and carried it into their house, glorifying God. And they 
made the light 12 to burn brightly, and went into 13 their storehouse 
that no one in the house might know of their matter, and the 
woman lighted him with the lamp while he uncovered the jar 14 ,

which he found to be filled to the top with gold; and they arose 
and threw themselves upon their faces, and worshipped God and 
Saint George for the great favour that he had wrought for 
them. And the man brought out a measure of two bins l of 
gold wherewith he might complete the building of the shrine, 
and he buried the remainder again, and kept it hid in his house. 
Now when the morning had come he wished to give a feast to 
all the city 2 in the name of Saint George, saying within himself, 
"It is right to give the first-fruits to the Lord;" and he made 
[47] a great feast for all the poor and infirm and widows and orphans 
in the city, and he stood up and ministered unto them and 
rejoiced with them all. And on the morrow he invited all the 
nobles of the city, and made another great feast for them in the 
name of Saint George, and he sat at meat with them, and rejoiced 
with them because of the blessing which the Lord had vouchsafed 
to him. While they were eating he arose 3 , and spake with them 
saying, "Since 4 God hath put it into your hearts to help me, let 1 
each one of you give a little, according to his means, that we 
in our generation may do this great blessing which God hath 
considered our city worthy 5 of, and build the martyrium of Saint \ 
George in our city." And they all answered him with one voice, 
saying, 6 "We tell thee that we will act according to our power, 
and, by the will of God we will come to thee, and that which 
each one of us shall find, according to his power, he shall bring 
to thee." And they all, from the least to the greatest did so 
each one according to his power, and they counted what came 
in in the name of Saint George and they found two thousand 
pounds 7 in gold and one thousand silver satheri. s After these

th ings he came to the place where the shrine was to be built 
to the name of Saint George, and they laid the foundations in 
tie name of God and of Saint George, and 1 they built it well 
in three years; and they brought the holy martyr into the mar- 
t} rium ; and they brought the holy Bishop of Jerusalem and he 
consecrated 2 the shrine. And what a number of miracles took 
pace then! What a number of people were cured :$ of their 
d seases! and what a multitude of unclean spirits came forth in 
the name of Saint George the holy martyr of our Lord Jesus 
Christ!

And it came to pass when the holy Bishop had consecrated

and it used to bring him down to the ground, and inflict suffer-

now this man came and stood among the congregation wishing 
to be blessed with the multitude. And it came to pass that

the man do\vn upon the ground 1 and made him writhe and foam 
at the mouth; then he rose up and stood before the multitude, 
and cried 2 out, saying, ."What hast thou to do with me, saint 
of God? I know who thou art, and that thou art not able to 
cast me forth from this man, for I am a lunatic, 3 and thou hast 
no dominion over me, George." And he began to blaspheme 
God and Saint George. And Saint George inflicted sufferings 
[49] upon him and brought him to a pillar. Then Saint George tied his 
hands behind him, and dragged him up the pillar with his hands 
tied behind his back, until his head was on a level with the top 
of the pillar. And all who saw him marvelled 4 and said, "We 
never saw any one like this, for behold, his back, with his hands 
tied behind it, clung to the pillar without fastenings of rope, 5 
and his feet did not touch the ground, and he was dragged up I 
the side of the pillar twice without any one pouching him, and 
we have never seen such a miracle as this wrought by any of 
the martyrs." Now it was Saint George who held the body of} 
the man 6 to torture him, and every one who saw him marvelled j 
at him, and glorified God and Saint George the valiant martyr i 
of our Lord Jesus Christ. After these things Saint George setj 
him free, and he fell down 7 senseless to the ground from the ' 
top of the pillar, so that everyone said, 'He is dead'. And when ' 
the salutation of peace 8 had been given they pressed round about k 
him, and marvelled at him, for he was 9 as one dead. And a 
certain man who had never walked, but was lame from his mo- 
ther's womb, and who sat begging at the door of the shrine, j 
came in at that moment with the multitude, crawling upon his 
hands and knees and dragging his feet 10 after him. And he j 
crawled in among the feet of the people 11 until he came to the

possessed of a devil put out his hand and took hold of the neck 
of the lame man and drew it to him, wishing to take it in his 

nd, 1 and his legs gave a loud crack and became straight im- 
m idiately. Then the people 2 took away his neck out of the 
ti;,nds of him that was possessed of a devil, 3 wishing to set him 
fne, and said, "Go forth and depart," and he arose and stood [n 
up trembling, 4 and his legs gained strength, and he went forth 
and departed. 5 And those who knew him ran out after him, but 
no one could catch him until he came outside the courtyard of 
the shrine. Then the Bishop commanded them to bring him, and 
the man who was possessed of a devil said, "Forgive me, holy 
father, and I will tell thee what I have seen. From my youth 6 
up I have been possessed of a devil until to-day, but I never 
saw him with my eyes except to-day, when, as he was coming 
to me, 7 I saw fire before me, and I was frightened 8 and fell 
down on the ground, and I knew nothing until the devil had 
gone out from me. When the people came to lift me up, it came 
to pass that [the devil] came to me when I was senseless, and I 
saw Saint George come in by the altar, and he took hold of my 
hands and, comforted me, and I then saw with my eyes that devil * 
before me in the form of a man, and Saint George inflicted great 
sufferings upon him. And he took him and dragged him up to 
the top of the pillar, and he inflicted sufferings upon him, and 
at last the devil cried out with a loud noise, and swore an oath 
Haying, "I will go out of this man and never return to him 
again." Then I 9 saw Saint George take hold of him, and lift 
him up to the top of the pillar, and throw him down upon the

i] pavement, and the devil uttered a loud cry through his nostrils, 
and came out, and departed. And I knew that I was relieved 
in my body, and I fell asleep and slumbered, and saw nothing 
until this lame man looked upon me. When I opened my eyes 
I saw Saint George holding 1 my hands, and embracing the neck 2 
of the lame man, and he beckoned to me, saying, 'Hold him 
tightly.' And I held his neck and pulled, and Saint George 
held his legs and pulled, and his legs 3 gave forth a loud noise; 
and Saint George let go 4 his legs and beckoned to me r> to let 
go his neck, and the man rose up and went away running; and 
Saint George went up to heaven, and I looked after him." When 
the Bishop and the multitude 6 who were standing round about 
him heard these things, they marvelled with a great astonishment, 
and glorified God and Saint George, saying, "Great are the 
mighty deeds and favours which 7 God works through him." And 
the men who were healed became 8 servants of the shrine of 
Saint George, and served him there day and night until the day 
of their death. And multitudes of men and women and children 
who were sick with divers diseases, and fevers, and burnings, and 
unclean spirits, were healed that day in the shrine of Saint 
George in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 



[52] The third miracle of Saint George the holy martyr of 

Jesus Christ? 

And it came to pass that when the holy Bishop went into 
Jerusalem with all those 10 that were with him. they spake of the 
signs and miracles which had happened through Saint Georg6 
in the midst of the people. And behold a certain Jew, who

-was a sorcerer and a thief, and who made men fall asleep by 
h s enchantments l while he stole their goods, heard of the mighty 
d3eds and miracles which Saint George wrought, but believed 
them not. And he said to the multitudes, "The Christians err 
in praying to this earthly being like ourselves, saying, 'Help us, 
'and heal our sicknesses';" and many Christians strove with this 
Dtan often, but he continued his great blasphemies after this 
manner. Now a certain feeble-hearted Christian heard 2 him, 
and he was very angry and rose up to contend with him, saying, 
'God will not allow thee to despise His holy martyr thus, and 
ttie saint will revenge himself upon thee and blot thee out;" and 
they cursed 3 each other with many curses. After these things 
the Jew answered and said, "Come now and lay a wager 4 with 
rae, I will go into the shrine, and will plunder it and bring out 5 
its possessions here without any one knowing it, and I will see 
what George will do to me." The Christian answered and said, [53] 
t; Lay a wager with me for three pounds in gold. If thou carriest 
off anything from the shrine of Saint George and bringest it 
here, we will go into the shrine and make enquiries that we 
may know of a truth if thou hast carried off anything from the 
shrine. Then if thou work a month without any evil befalling 
thee, 6 I will believe thee and will give thee three pounds in gold; 
but if thou art not able to steal anything from the shrine, and 
some evil befall thee, thou shalt give me three pounds in gold, and 
shalt become a Christian." So the matter was thus arranged 
between them, and they procured witnesses. 7 Then the man who 
was a sorcerer arose and went into the shrine, and stole some 
things, and he came out while all were sleeping, and no one knew 
of the theft; and when he had come outside of the outer door 
of the shrine, 8 he spake within himself, saying, "Be ashamed

now, Saint George, together with the man who laid a wager 
with me." And he took counsel with himself as he went along 
saying, "I will sell these things for much money, and I wil 
demand the three pounds in gold from the Christian, and I wil 
make him forsake his faith and deny his baptism, and I shal 
see what this dead man George will do unto me." Now as he 
was pondering these things going along, behold the valiant martyr 
Saint George came to him in the guise of a soldier, holding a 
large ox-hide leather whip in his hand, and he said to the man 
[54] "My brother, what art thou carrying? 1 show 2 me." And the 
Jew was astonished and said, "Friend, I will hide nothing from 
thee. I have stolen a few things, and since God has led thee across 
my path, 3 come, take thy portion with me that thou mayest tel 
no man." Saint George said to him, "Since it is thus, come 
let us go into the shrine and divide the thing between us as 
thou sayest." When he had come to the door of the shrine, Sainl 
George gave him a blow on the head with the whip, saying 
"Dost thou know who I am?" And the thief said to him, "Nay 
master, I am dead, I am dead, I know not who thou art." Saint 
George said to him, "I am George;" and when the thief heard 
this he trembled 4 and fell down upon the ground. Then Sainl 
George took hold of him and dragged him along saying, "Why 
sayest 5 thou, 'I am dead, I am dead,' when thou art not dead? 
and now come hither and I will make thee to know who I am." 
Then Saint George bound 6 him in the shrine, and tied the things 
which he had stolen to him, 7 and suspended him from a beam 
at the height of three cubits from the ground, and he gave him 
severe lashes with the whip 8 which he held in hand. what a 
number of miracles took place at that time ! and what a number 
of cries did the thief utter! And all those who were asleep woke

up, 1 and arose, and came to him wondering what had taken 
p'ace. And they asked one another, saying, "Who has suspended 
lis man?" and they said, "Who could have reached up as far [55] 
a; this from the ground?" and the thief confessed what he had 
djne, and told every one what had happened to him. And they 
D arvelled and said, "Let us fetch a ladder and let him down," hut 
t le steward answered, "As God liveth, no one shall let him down 
until he that suspended him let him down;" so they left him 
tied up thus until it was morning, that everyone might see him. 
And the thief confessed that he had laid a wager 2 with a Christian 
in Jerusalem, and he cried out, "0 George my master, have 
mercy upon me and I will never put forth my hand to steal 
again from any man from this hour, but I will henceforth become 
& Christian, and I will never return 3 to the working of magic 
as of old;" and he wept 4 the whole of that day, being suspended 
from the beam, until the morning came and everyone saw him. 
When Saint, George saw the fixedness of his intention, he had 
compassion upon him, and came in the night and let him down; 
and the thief gave the things that he had stolen 5 to the steward. 
And it came to pass that on the morrow he wrote a letter and 
sent it by the hands of a servant of the shrine to his wife and 
relatives in Jerusalem, and told them what had happened 6 to 
him. He wished moreover to become a Christian, but shame 
would not allow him to enter Jerusalem. When his relatives 
had received and read the letter, they marvelled at the mighty 
things which had happened through Saint George. And when the 
Christian who had laid a wager with him heard it, he rejoiced [56] 
greatly, and went 7 and announced in all Jerusalem what had 
happened to the Jew in the shrine of Saint George ; and all who 
heard glorified 8 God. And his wife and children and all his

neighbours and a multitude of Jews l arose and came to him, and 
he told them everything that had happened to him, and they all 
feared greatly, and were baptized on that day in the shrine of 
Saint George in the name of the Father and the Son and the 
Holy Ghost; and they glorified God for ever. 



The fourth miracle of Saint George the holy martyr. 2 

Now the name of Saint George and the report that he 
wrought mighty deeds and signs, and miracles, and cures, and 
that he cast out devils spread abroad everywhere. And there 
was a certain man in the land of the Persians, called Nicanor, 
who was ruler over the third part of the Persians, and he had 
a son called Anatolius, whose body and face 3 were covered with 
leprosy. And when he heard of the mighty deeds and miracles 
which God wrought by the hand of Saint George, he cried out 
with a cry, saying, "If God and Saint George heal the leprosy 
[57] on the face of my son, I will dedicate a hundred pounds of gold 4 
to the shrine of Saint George and I and all my house will become 
Christians." And it came to pass that when he had thus vowed 
he rose up on the morning of the morrow 5 and the face of his son 
was healed, and there was no trace of leprosy in it. When 
Nicanor the ruler of the Persians saw this great miracle which had 
taken place in his son, he rose up and took the gifts which he 
had vowed, and much money, and Anatolius his son and his 
brethren and the multitudes of Persians who came with him, and 
they rose up and embarked in ships and came to the shrine 6 of 
Saint George, and they washed his son in the bath and anointed

fpho were with him in the name 1 of the Father and the Son and 
'tlie Holy Spirit, and they glorified God and Saint George for 
tl e favour which had happened to them. And it came to pass 
tl at when they came to their own land they built a large church, 
and called it by the name of Saint George; and they sent to 
A ntioch and brought the God-loving Bishop, and he consecrated 
tl'c church in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the 
Boly Ghost and Saint George. And a multitude of Persians 
received holy baptism on that day, men, women, and children. 
When many of them that were sick saw the young man that had 
been healed of his leprosy in the shrine of Saint George, they 
believed, and went into the shrine, and were healed straightway; [58] 
and they glorified God and Saint George for ever. 



Theffth miracle of Saint George' 2 the holy martyr. 

Now there were two Samaritans who were partners in business, 
and they wanted to buy 3 one hundred pounds worth of merchan- 
dise. And they rose up and saddled their asses, and took their 
money with them, and they mounted them wishing to go into 
Damascus to buy their merchandise. And while they were travelling 
along the road and were talking with each other about the 
aiighty deeds and miracles which 4 Saint George wrought, the 
night fell upon them. And it came to pass that while they were 
talking and were yet two or three miles from the town 5 , behold 
there came forth against them out of the wood, 6 two hungry, 
roaring and ravening lions, as it is written, "He maketh darkness 7 , 
and it is night in which all the beasts of the earth go about.

The young lions roar 1 and raven and seek after their food. "2 
When the asses saw the wild beasts which were coming out against 
them, they ran away terror-stricken, and the men fell down off 
them half dead with fright. 3 And the wild beasts stood still near 
the men wishing to devour them, but they did not pursue the 
animals, neither did they come up to the men; and they stood 
still near them and glared (?) upon them. Then the men spake 4 
with one another, saying, "If God and Saint George deliver us 
from the mouths of these wild beasts we will give this hundred 5 
pounds in gold to Saint George's shrine, and become Christians. 7 ' 
[59] And it came to pass that when they had thus vowed their vow to 
God, that the Good God, who desires the salvation of all men, and 
who made the lions to be at peace with Daniel the prophet, in- 
clined the hearts of these two lions, and they bowed down their 
heads, and turned into the woods' 5 and departed. And the men 
whose minds had thus been quieted knew that it was Saint George 7 
who had vouchsafed to them this gift, and they glorified God and 
His holy 8 martyr. When they had gone along the road a little 
they found their asses grazing and unharmed, and they got upon 
them and came into the town; and they spake with each other 
and with the people of everything which had happened to them. 
And every one who heard marvelled at the mighty deeds and 
miracles of Saint George ; and the men of the city spake to them, 
saying, "These wild beasts have destroyed several 9 men, and 
multitudes of animals 10 of this district, but glory be to Saint 
George who hath delivered 11 you from this wrath." After these 
things the two merchants took counsel with each other, saying, 
"What we have vowed to the shrine 12 of Saint George let us

"When they had come to Damascus they saw some precious 
jstones called diamonds which they bought 3 for one hundred 
|p( unds in gold; and when they came into Jerusalem they sold [GO] 
them for two hundred pounds in gold before they reached their 
native city in Samaria. 4 Then the men spake with each other 
saying, "Thanks be to God that Saint George hath considered 
sus worthy of this great favour." And it came to pass that when 
they had come into their city 5 they told their kinsfolk and all 
the people of the mighty deeds and miracles which God had done 
to them. And they arose and took the hundred pounds in gold 
which they had vowed to give to the shrine of Saint George/- 
and they proclaimed throughout the whole city, saying, "Let him 
that loveth God come into the shrine of Saint George with us ;" 
and numbers of men and women in Samaria came forth with 
them. When they had come into the holy shrine they gave in 
their gift and saw the mighty miracles, and the many cures of the 
sick, and the many devils 7 which were cast out, and they all rose 8 
up and received baptism in the name 9 of the Father and the 
Son and the Holy Spirit. And one hundred and fifty-three souls 
became Christians 10 that day in the shrine of Saint George in 
peace of God, Amen.

256 THE SIXTH MIRACLE OF SAINT GEORGE. 

The sixth miracle of Saint George the holy martyr 1 of 
Jesus Christ. 

Now there was a certain Christian 2 in Jerusalem whose name 
[61] was Zogrator, 3 and he had a son who was a lunatic, and he 
himself was gouty; 4 and the man was very rich, 5 and had much 
wealth in gold 6 and silver and many herds of cattle. And it 
came to pass that when he heard 7 of the mighty deeds and 
miracles of Saint George, he vowed 8 a vow, saying, "If God and 
Saint George heal my feet and legs of this disease, I will give 
in return to his shrine, three meals and three pints of wine, 
every month. And if I can walk freely with my feet and can 
go along upon them by the twenty-third day of Pharmuthi, which 
is his great day, I will walk upon my legs to his shrine and will 
give one hundred pounds of gold to it." And when he had thus 
vowed, his legs 9 became smaller (?) little by little, 10 and his body 
became easier, and at the end of the appointed days he walked, 
and went into his house and into the church, and he prayed to 
God, saying, "I thank thee, God of Saint George," and after 
two days his whole body was healed. When the day of the holy 
martyr, which is the twenty-third of Pharmuthi, drew near, he 
made ready everything which he would take with him, and his 
servants came to him, saying, " What animal shall we make ready 
for thee to ride?" 11 Zogrator answered and said, "As God liveth, 
I will walk on my* legs from Jerusalem 12 to the shrine of Saint 
[62] George the holy martyr." Then they arose and went to the shrine of 
Saint George, and they found so great multitudes gathered together 
there marvelling at the mighty deeds and graces of healing which

had taken place through Saint George, that Zogrator 1 marvelled 
w.ien he saw the mighty miracles and the healings which took 
p ace through Saint George, and he gave his gift to the shrine 
readily. And it came to pass that when the steward saw the 
n arvellously great gifts which Zogrator gave, he took him into 
his house for two months, and he ate and drank with him joy- 
fully. On the third day 2 , by the good favour of God, the son 
of Zogrator arose and came to learn what had happened to his 
father, for he and those who had gone with him to the festival 3 
had not returned. Now Zogrator was within, 4 talking to the 
steward of his son, saying, "I have a son possessed of an exceeding 
wicked devil who inflicts 5 such great sufferings upon him 6 that 
it has been said many times, 'It would be better for him to be 
dead 7 rather than live 8 and suffer such tortures as these.' If 
God and Saint George heal him by this time next year, I will 
bring him 9 to thee, and I will come hither to thee and will give 
greater gifts than these to his shrine." The steward said to him, 
t; Dost thou believe that God is able to do everything?" [and 
Zogrator answered,] "I believe that the saints receive 10 every- 
thing which 11 they ask for, *and that nothing is too hard for them 12 
[to do] in God's name. 13 Moreover, it is written in the Gospel 
of John, 'Whosoever believeth on me shall himself do greater 
works than these that I do'." 14 And it came to pass that while 
they were talking to one another, behold the son of Zogrator [63] 
and a number of servants came up riding upon horses, and stood 
by the door of the shrine, and he enquired for his father and

found that he was with the steward; and he came to his father, 
and they spake with one another. And while they were talking 
with one another, behold the devil came into the boy suddenly, 
and tare him for a long time, and he foamed at the mouth, and 
the devil rose up and cried out with a loud voice, 1 saying, "What 
hast thou to do with me, George? and why dost thou trouble 
me so much? 2 By Hercules, 3 I am a lunatic, and no one shall 
cast me out." And he uttered great blasphemies, saying, "By 
Hercules, thou shalt not cast me out, O George." Then Saint 
George smote him with severe smitings, 4 and again the devil 
cried out loud cries, saying, "0 George, thou makest me suffer, ' r 
and he sware mighty oaths, saying, "If thou wilt allow me to 
come forth I will never return 5 to him again." And when the 
devil 6 had cast him down in the midst he came out from him, 
and never returned^ to him again ; thus he was healed immediately. 
When Zogrator saw that the devil had come out of his son, he 
gave many gifts to the shrine of Saint George, and returned thanks 
to God. 7 And he came to the shrine every year on Saint George's 
day 8 , and made 9 a great feast to the poor and the widows and 
the orphans, and his son stood by ' them with joy; and they 
glorified 10 God and Saint George 11 until the day of his death. 



The seventh miracle of Saint George 1 * the holy martyr.

George 13 had increased, the steward made them go out to collect and

|ga 1 her in the first-fruits and gifts which were given to the holy 
Rshrine 1 of Saint George. Moreover, many people in the country 
jyo ,ved 2 and dedicated their sons and daughters 3 and cattle to 4 
Kb : shrine of Saint George, because of the mighty deeds and 
[miracles which he wrought, and many barren women bore children 
laf er they had vowed cattle to the shrine. Whenever, too, a 
1st' >rm broke upon many ships at sea, so that they were suddenly 
in great danger, 5 and the sailors cried out to God and Saint 
George, saying, "Help us," straightway 6 the help of God strengthen- 
ed them speedily and saved 7 their ship until they arrived in 
h^ven. And much cattle which had been vowed, but had not 
tK'en given by their masters to Saint George's shrine, went of 
i their own accord 8 until they came and entered into the shrine. 
;But why should I mention the beasts which went of their own 
accord into the shrine, and omit the mighty miracles of soulless 
p:eces of wood, and stones, and books, and pieces of gold which 
travelled through the air like birds until they came into the 
shrine of Saint George by the help 9 of the living God? If a 
ship 10 were in danger and pieces of wood, or writings, or pieces 
of gold, and other things were cast out of it into the sea in faith [65] 
in the name of Saint George, they would travel of their own 
accord through the air, until they came into the shrine. Now 
many people believed in the mighty deeds and the many miracles 
but a few did not. 11 And one of the servants 12 of the shrine rose 
up and stole some of the property of the shrine, and took it into 
his house, and the holy martyr bore with him until the end of 
tive years, saying, "Peradventure he will repent 13 of his sins, and

I will forgive him;" but he did not cease to steal, and he acted 1 
in this wise: everything that was given to him to take to the 
shrine, he took home to his wife like Judas, who when he stole 
from the Saviour out of the bag, took home to his wicked wife 
everything which had been given to the Saviour, Who put it into 
the bag 2 in the hands of Judas; 3 even so did the servant steal 
and give to his wicked wife. 4 It was on account of his wife that 
great temptation came upon 5 Judas, and made him hang himself, 
for when God had set them apart for apostleship, all the Apostles, 
except Judas, forsook their houses, and wives, and children, and 
followed after the Son of the living God. Judas alone did not 
follow after his God, but lived with his wife, and was impure with 
[66] her, and for this reason the devil found a resting place 6 within 
him until he made him an alien from God." And thus shall it 
happen to all who hearken unto their wicked wives until they 
make them aliens from God 7 who created them. Now this man 
who was a servant of the shrine 8 of Saint George and to whom 
things were given as to all his other fellow 9 servants, used to 
take them into his house, and did not cease to steal the property 
of the shrine. After these things the holy martyr put a very 
wicked devil in him, and inflicted great sufferings upon him day 
and night. And the devil brought him into the church 10 and 
spake from within him, saying, "I have taken much property 11

3 According to tradition Judas married his mother, who had cast him 
away when a baby to perish, without knowing it. See Migne, Diet, des Legendes, 
col. 719. The Apostle Paul saw Judas in hell and held a conversation with 
him, and Judas made a confession to him. See the translation of the Coptic 
text published by Dulaurier in his fragment des revelations apocryphes de 
Saint Paul, Paris, 1835.

of the shrine iiito my house, go ye into it, and ye will find it 
there;" and they went and found it there. And after he had 
suffered 1 thus for two months Saint George had compassion upon 
him, and healed him, and the steward cast him forth from the 
si rine ; and all who heard of it glorified God and Saint George. 



The eighth miracle of Saint George 2 the holy martyr. 

There was a certain rich man in Antioch whose name was 
logios; 3 and he had a ship which went to sea, 4 and he was 
jupied in great business. And he was a kind man, and gave 

it charities to the poor and the infirm, and he gave gifts and [67] 
5t-fruits to every church 5 in his city Antioch, 6 and he made 
great feast to all the clergy of his city twice a year, and he ate 
drank frequently with the Archbishop, and prayed to God 
ilways; moreover, he visited the prisons, and was very rich. And 
frequented the shrine 7 of Saint George, and went there on 
;he greats day of his festival, which is the twenty-third of Phar- 
d, and he prayed there, 9 and gave money 10 to the shrine, and 
ate and drank with the steward, and returned to his house 
peace. And it came to pass that when he had done thus for 
jive years, the devil, who is the enemy 11 of every one that be- 
jves on Christ, was envious of him because of the kind deeds 
which he wrought, and raised up a great black darkness 12 on the 
sea, and a storm. Now the ship of Eulogios was keeping close

to the shore, for the sailors feared to put out to sea lest it should 
be destroyed under them, and they rose up and brought the 
merchandise and all their necessary 1 clothing to land; and they 
passed the whole night sorrowfully while the wind carried away 
the ship, and they knew not where it had gone. When the morn- 
ing had come, they tired themselves out in seeking for the ship 
of Eulogios, but they found it not, and they came and told him 
everything that had happened; and he and his wife wept and 
were sorrowful. After these things they thanked God, saying, 
[68] "God's will be done, blessed be His name 2 for ever. If He 
wishes to be merciful 3 to us we will build another ship like unto 
this;" and saying these things to each other they comforted them- 
selves in God, and were strong 4 in the property which they still 
had. But behold the devil raised up for them a greater trial 
than this. Now there was a certain Egyptian who was a very 
skilful thief, and when he was sought after 5 to be put to death 
he rose up and fled, and came down to the sea, and by Satan's 
luck he found a ship about to sail to Antioch, and he went on 
board, and came thither/ and lived in the house of Eulogios. 
After he had been there a few 7 days he became a labourer for 
two years, and knew 8 everything that was in the house of Eulo- 
gios, 9 who knew not that he was a thief, 10 but trusted him. And 
the thief found two other transgressors like 11 unto himself and 
made companions of them, as the Scripture saith, "Every man 
cleaveth to him that is like unto him/' and they took counsel 
together to rob the house of Eulogios. And it came to pass 
that when the day 12 of the martyr drew near, that is to say, the 
twenty-third of Pharmuthi, Eulogios and many other people with

lim made ready to go to the shrine. And it came to pass that 
vhile they were there, the mother-in-law of Eulogies fell sick, 1 
md, according to the will of God, died; and his wife and her 
kinsfolk went to weep for, her leaving the Egyptian alone in the 
house. Then he rose up and went quickly with his companions [69] 
1 o the house, and took them in with him, and they ate and drank, 
;ind spent the whole day 2 in robbing the house ofEulogios. And 
,hey carried off the gold and silver and all the other valuable 
things, and finding an Alexandrian ships they embarked, and 
oame to Alexandria ; and they set out all the property of Eulogios 
..n the market, and sold it for much money, and the share of 
each one amounted 4 to three -thousand pounds in gold. And it 
came to pass that when Eulogios came back from the shrine of 
Saint George, he found his wife and kinsfolk sorrowing; and they 
told him what had happened, and he grieved for many days. 
After these things he took consolation in God and glorified Him, 
saying, "God's will 5 be done." Meanwhile those 6 who had stolen 
his property went into Egypt to Peremoun, 7 and lived there; and 
one of them fell sick (?), 8 and became possessed of a devil, and 
went away, and no one knew whither he had gone. After a few 
days there was anger between the remaining two, and they quar- 
relled with each other, and at midnight the Egyptian rose up, 
and took a sword, and slew 9 his insensible companion, and took 
all the gold and went to the country of Palestine where he toiled 
in business, and ate and drank with the money of Eulogios a long

time. And Eulogies, the true Christian and his wife Eupheinia, 
[70] true to God, did not relax their offerings, and first-fruits, and > 
charities on festival days 1 which they had been wont to give to I 
the poor and the sick; and they did not cease their offerings, hut | 
continued them as formerly. And he gave away that which he ; 
had laid by, and when that had come to an end, he spent every- 
thing that he had. When the day 2 of the martyr drew nigh, 
Eulogies spake with his wife, saying, "Behold all the people of 
the city 3 are going to the shrine of Saint George, but we have 
no income\ this year to give; behold, God, may Saint George I 
look 4 upon our affliction." His God-loving wife answered and i 
said meekly to him, "I know, brother, that we have nothing, j 
and that there is none 5 to lend us anything, 6 for we are poor, 
but behold, 7 I have two garments, 8 take this good one and sell 
it for money, that our offering to the shrine may not cease." 
When Eulogies heard these things his eye filled with tears and 
they both wept. And again Eulogios spake with his wife con- 
cerning the cost and the carrying out of the journey. The blessed 
Euphemia answered and said, "0 good brother, rise up and go | 
to thy neighbours, perchance God will cause them to have com- 
passion upon thee and to lend thee the money 9 wherewith thou 
shalt be able to supply thy wants and to go to the shrine in ; 
peace. If they will not lend thee money, then give this garment 
to the people who are going to the shrine, and God's will be 
done." And Eulogios hearkened to her, and rose up and went 
[71] to a neighbour of his, and said to him, "I want to speak with 
thee on a certain matter;" and he replied, "Speak, beloved i 
brother." Eulogios said to him, "Behold the day of Saint George

diaweth nigh, and I do not wish to cease this year from giving 
ihe little gift which I am accustomed to give to his shrine; but 
Hihold I have 1 nothing at all this year to give, for thou knowest 
all that has happened to me. And now, neighbour, perhaps I 
may borrow 2 some money from thee until God show me a way 
ii which I can work and make it up." And while Eulogies was 
speaking, 3 his neighbour's eyes filled with tears, and he said to 
i m, "0 good brother, why sayest thou such things as these 4 to 
me who have been thy servant until this day? and why speakest 
ihou such things as these to me about money? As God liveth, 5 
ladst thou asked me for ten pounds in gold I would have given 
;hem to thee that I might obtain the blessing 6 of the martyr. 
But behold 7 now, I have here three' pounds in gold, take them, 
and if thou needest 8 more I will give it to thee." And Eulogios 
took them and brought them to his wife, saying, "I believe on 
Grod and Saint George, and if we cast all our care upon God, 
he will have mercy upon us again." His wife said to him, "God 
bath set apart the money for thee." And he said, "Thanks be 
to God and His holy martyr 9 , for when I went to such and such 
a man and told him 10 everything, he said to me, 'If thou art in 
need 11 of more, come hither to me, and I will give thee what 
thou needest;" 12 and she rejoiced greatly, and thanked God. 
Then Eulogios rose up and embarked with those who were 
with 13 him, to go to the shrine of Saint George. And behold, [72] 
the man who had stolen the property of Eulogios meditated 
within himself, saying, "I know that I have sinned from my youth 
up, without counting the great sin which I committed when I

266 THE EIGHTH MIEACLE OF SAINT GEORGE. 

rose up against my neighbour and slew him craftily, and I shall 
suffer everlasting punishment for the sake of the things belonging 
to other people. Behold now 1 the day of the martyr draweth 
nigh, I will arise and go to his shrine, and will pray there and 
make a small offering that peradventure he may receive me 
favourably before God, and show mercy to my miserable soul." 
And it came to pass that when Eulogios came to the shrine 
of Saint 2 George he with those who were with him, prayed; 
and they came to the steward and handed in their gifts to him. 
And the steward knew Eulogios from his being accustomed to 
come to the shrine year by year, and he ate and 3 drank with 
him. When it was morning they came into the shrine and prayed, 
and they stood up until the service (o6vic) was ended, and 
Eulogios and his fellow citizens came out and walked to the 
market place. And behold the Egyptian who had robbed the 
house of Eulogios came in through the door of the shrine dressed 4 
in the dress 5 of Eulogios with the money tied up in it; and they 
knew him immediately and ran upon him and laid hold of him, 
for he wished to flee away. Then they bound him and carried 
[73] him to the steward, who said to him, "What hast thou done 
with the things thou hast stolen?" and he said, "I have stolen 
nothing. my master Eulogios, thou knowest 6 that I served 
thee for two years, and that I never stole anything from thy 7 
house; and this dress (?) is one which I bought in 8 the market." 
The steward said ^ to him, "If thou wilt come in with me to 
the altar of Saint George, and wilt swear to me in the name of 
God and Saint George, saying, 'I have not stolen', 9 thou shalt 
depart." And the thief was glad that he was going to escape, 
and he cried out, saying, "I will swear wherever thou pleasest,

and in whatever manner thou pleasest;" and the steward took him 
[:n] that he might ta.ke the oath. And the steward said, ". . . . 

[ .............. this man chooseth death rather than life. For 

j] say unto you that when a man takes an oath 1 it is received 
ii the presence of God before he can smite 2 the earth thrice with 
Ids foot. As for me, Saint 3 George has already told me in a 
dream during the past night, saying, 4 'They will bring to thee 
1 o-morrow a man who has stolen what belongs to me, do not let 
him go, but punish him until he gives up to thee everything that 
he has stolen'; but I did not understand the vision 5 until this 
:noment." And he commanded two new whips to be brought 6 
ix) him, and when they were brought they beat the Egyptian with 
many stripes; but the thief kept his mouth shut and did not 7 
speak at all. Then the steward took an oath, saying, "Thou 
shalt either be beaten with these whips 8 until thou shalt die, or 
thou shalt restore the things thou hast stolen." And he com- 
manded them to strip his clothes off him, and to beat him with [74] 
many stripes ; and when they had taken off his clothes they found 
money 9 inside. They said unto him, "What are these?" and he 
cried out, saying, "Master, I have sinned/' and he admitted [his 
theft] before the multitude 10 in the shrine 11 of Saint George, and 
confessed everything that had happened to him; and when they 
had beaten him with many stripes they cast him into a dungeon, 
and they left him without food 12 and water to die. When Eulo- 
gios had received the money he gave 13 sixty pounds in gold to 
the shrine, and made a great feast to the poor and the sick, and 
he rejoiced, and thanked God and Saint George who worked 
dghty deeds and miracles. Now the money which they had

found with the thief amounted to more than five thousand pounds 
in gold. After these things Eulogios besought the steward and 
the man was set free, 1 and Eulogios gave him three pounds in 
gold and the dress which he had worn, and sent him away in 
peace. When the man saw the compassion of Eulogios and the 
mighty deeds and miracles of Saint George, how that he had told 
the steward [about him] in a dream, he gave the three pounds 
in gold to the shrine of Saint 2 George, and ministered unto the 
sick until the day of his death; and Saint George received him 
favourably and forgave him his sins. 

After these things Saint George appeared to Eulogios by 
night, and said to him, "God hath heard thy prayer and hath 
accepted thy alms, saying, 'I know of thy charity to the poor 
[75] and the sick, and I will show mercy unto thee in this world and 
in that which is to come'. 3 When thou shalt wish to return to 
thy house thou shalt find another ship, greater than thine which 
was lost, laden with stores 4 and wood; take it to thy city that 
thou mayest build 5 a shrine in my name, and I will bless thee, 
and thou shalt lack no good thing during thy life." And it 
came to pass that when it was light Eulogios told the people 
everything that Saint George had told him during the night, and 
they marvelled greatly; and they embarked in their ship and 
sailed to Antioch. And behold Saint George brought the ship 
of Eulogios to meet them laden with cypress wood and many 
good things. And Eulogios and those that were with him knew 
it, and they rose up and went up into it rejoicing, and they 
brought the ship to Antioch, and told the whole city; and when 
the people heard it they glorified God and Saint George. Then 
Eulogios gave great charities to the poor and the sick and the 
orphans on the day of Saint George, and his prayers and offer- 
ings and first-fruits continued in the church always. And he 
built a glorious shrine in the name of Saint George the holy 
martyr, and he and his wife and children ministered therein

urtil the day of his death. And Saint George received him 
fa /ouarbly before God, who made him a partaker in the heavenly 
Jerusalem, the place which he desired greatly, and he kept the 
festival with all the saints.

id it came to pass during the reign of Diocletian the 
iwless idolater who destroyed the whole earth, that there was 
certain general under his authority whose name was Euchios; 
ad he was savage in appearance and of an exceeding wicked 
lisposition. And the emperor Diocletian appointed him three 
msand soldiers, and sent them into Egypt to overthrow the 
lurches and to build temples to polluted idols in every place, 
len this man had come into the country of Egypt he appointed 
governors in every city and counts and dukes, and commanded 
jm to bind all the Christians throughout their dominions; and 
i.e inflicted great punishments and fearful tortures upon them, 
id finally cut off their heads with the sword; and they became 
rtyrs and died for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. And 
sent an edict throughout the whole land 1 of Egypt, and all 
le churches were overthrown, and temples of idols were built, 
id devils worshipped in them. 

After all these things it came to pass that the Good God 
lembered all the evil which the impious emperor Diocletian 
had wrought, and the innocent blood of the saints, the holy mar- 
tyrs which he had poured out. And when- his end drew nigh, 
he called to Euchios the general, and said to him, "I know that [77] 
thou art a prudent man, and that thou dost perform the decrees 
and commands of the emperors. Rise up now and take soldiers 
and the edict of the emperor to help thee, and depart quickly 
into Syria of Palestine, and go first to the shrine of him that is 
called George, and overthrow it to its very foundations. For I 
cannot bear to hear tell of the mighty deeds of magic which are

wrought 1 in the name of him whose head Dadianus the Persian 
cut off several years ago. And the Christians have built a shrine 
to his name, and they perform mighty deeds and signs by works 
of magic so that his name may be magnified in all the land, and 
many people have forsaken the glorious gods and follow after 
the mighty deeds of that man, and become Christians." So 
Euchios the general made obeisance to the emperor and took 
the edict, and the emperor appointed him three thousand soldiers 
and sent them to Syria, 2 and commanded him, saying, "Thou 
shalt first destroy the shrine of Saint 3 George. Then thou shalt 
pull down all the churches and 4 bind all the Christians and cast 5 
them into prison. And thou shalt punish them and inflict fearful 6 
sufferings upon them, and thou shalt cut off with the sword the 
heads 7 of those who will not worship our gods, 8 and shalt spare | 
them not." 9 Then the general took the soldiers with him, and, 
[78] he embarked them in ships and sailed to Syria. When they 
came to the port of Saint George, they all went quickly 10 intoj 
the city with swords, and weapons, 11 and bows and arrows 12 in] 
their hands, and the whole city was disturbed by the multitude j 
of the soldiers. And Euchios, like Holofernes 13 of old who was; 
the chief general of Nebuchadnezzar, went into the shrine of 
Saint George in great pride holding a staff in his hand, with a

multitude of soldiers following after him. 1 When he had come 
jjb to the shrine 2 and saw the lamp burning to Saint George, one 
Si id [to him], "Look at this senseless thing," and he said, "I see 
tl ie folly of the Christians, and if the god of this people were 
mt blind the sun would give him light and he would have [no] 
naed of a thousand lamps to give him light." And he took 
tie stick in his hands and smote the lamp, saying, "What is 
tiis?" and the lamp broke and fell in fragments upon him and 
some of the soldiers; and a little piece of glass stuck in his 
head without his knowing it, and every part of his body which 
the oil from the lamp touched became leprous. And he thought 
that that was all that would happen to him, and said to the 
: soldiers, "Until to-day we have heard only with our ears that 
there is a magician in this place, but to-day we have seen [that 
there is] with our eyes, for look and see 3 what has happened to 
jny hands and feet;" and the multitude of the soldiers round 
about him marvelled at the power of the holy martyr who had [79] 
made him leprous. And his head pained 4 him exceedingly and 
lie said to the soldiers, "Let us rest here until the morning;" 
and he was greatly ashamed because of the multitude of the 
soldiers round about him. And since all the people of the city 
were Christians, none of them would take him into their house, 
for they were angry with him on account of the lamp of the 
shrine which he had broken; and they went out and left him 
there. Then he rose up and went forth ashamed, and when he 
reached the door of the shrine and was coming out, his head 
became dizzy and he fell headlong on the ground, and his whole 
>dy trembled and he was unable to stand. Then the soldiers

came round him and carried him into their house, and they ate 
and drank, but he could taste nothing for his head was suffering 
great pain. When the evening had come the soldiers went to 
bed and slept, but Euchios saw a vision in this wise. He saw 
a soldier whose name was George shoot an arrow into the air, 
and the arrow stuck in his head, and he cried out with a loud 
voice saying, "George, George," and straightway awoke from his 
slumber. When those who were in the room with him heard the 
cries they said, "Master, to whom dost thou speak?" and he 
was ashamed to tell them his dream, and he kept his mouth shut, 
not wishing to utter the name of Saint George from his lips at 
all. When the morning had come he was suffering greatly from 
fsojthe piece of glass in his head, and he cried out with loud cries 
frightening the soldiers and saying, "Take me up, and let us go 
into our own country that I may not die in this foreign land." 
And all the soldiers rose up joyfully, and embarked in ships, and 
sailed to Antioch greatly ashamed; and the head of the general 
suppurated and became very putrid, 1 and on the third day God 
smote him and he died. And after five days his whole body 
became a mass of worms and very putrid, and the soldiers took 
him and buried him in the sea. When the soldiers had come 
into Antioch they showed the emperor everything that had taken 
place, and they told him of the mighty deeds and miracles which 
they had seen in the shrine of Saint George. But Diocletian 
the lawless and hateworthy apostate did not believe these things, 
for God wished to destroy him by an evil death on account of 
all the evil deeds he had wrought upon the saints. And he 



1 It is very probable that the writer of these miracles had in his mind 
the malady and death of Gralerius of Dacia thus described by Lactantius, (De 
Mortibus Persecutorum, p. 64, Paris edit. 1710): Nascitur ei ulcus malum in 

inferiori parte genitalium, serpitque latius Repercussis medullis, malum 

recidit introrsus, et interna comprehendit, vermes intus creantur. Odor teter

confusi essent exitus stercoris et urinae. Oomestus a vermibus, et in putre- 
dinem corpus cum intolerandis doloribus solvitur. Clamores simul horrendos

burdened his heart like Pharaoh of old, and said to the soldiers, 
"Ye have slain this great general of the empire, and ye utter these 
fcul lies, saying that George the Galilean worketh mighty deeds 
aid miracles. Now by our glorious gods, I will go myself to the 
shrine, and if I find that ye have foully lied I will cut off all 
y )ur heads with the sword. And I will take an army there with 
n.e and will put the whole city to the sword, I will uproot the 
s irine to its very foundations, and I will make the Christians [81] 
worship idols in it." 

After these things Diocletian arose and gathered together 
all his army, and prepared ships for them to embark in and sail 
to Syria: and he made a- herald proclaim throughout the whole 
city, saying, "Prepare yourselves, soldiers, for we are going 
to Syria to overthrow the shrine of the arch-sorcerer of the 
Galileans." Now while the words were in the emperor's mouth, 
tehold the holy archangel Michael and Saint George came down 
from heaven and overturned under him the throne upon which he 
sat, and the golden pomegranates which were on the top of it 
struck his eyes and crushed in his eye-balls. 1 And he cried out 
with a loud voice and wept, saying, "Woe is me, O my Lord, 
woe is me; Lord God the Good, I have sinned, forgive me, 
for I have wrought great evil to Thy servants upon earth; 
God, forgive me, for I am a sinner." Then the voice of the holy 
archangel Michael came to him straightway, saying, "There shall 
be forgiveness to thee neither in this world nor in the world to 
oome: and now thy dominion has passed away and is given to 
Constantine who is more excellent than thee thousands of times." 
And all the multitude of the soldiers and all the senators who 
were assembled 2 in the royal presence heard the voice of the 
archangel Michael speaking, and they marvelled at what had 



1 It is said that Diocletian could neither eat nor sleep, that he wept and 
continually and that he died of a lingering disease assisted by melan- 

and despair. Some accounts say that he perished by his own hand. See

[82] suddenly happened from heaven. And they straightway arose 
and cast him forth from the royal office, and they brought in 
Constantine in his stead and robed him in royal apparel. And 
he was a lover of God, a lover of charity, a lover of man, a lover 
of goodness and of every person. He went to Church morning 
and evening every day; he made large assemblies at the Holy 
Communion, he prayed to God with great earnestness; he gave 
away large charities and gifts: and he, and his house, and his 
mother, the God-loving Queen Helena, 1 feared the Lord always, 
and they praised and blessed and thanked our Lord and God 
and Saviour, Jesus Christ, through Whom be all glory and 
adoration and honour meet for the Father and the Son and Holy 
vivifying and consubstantial Spirit with Him, now and always 
and for ever and ever, Amen.

Palestine, the sun of the truth, the star of the morning, the 
t.iighty man of the Galileans from Melitene and the valiant 
soldier of Christ; and he showed forth his family relation- 
ships and the mighty conflicts which he endured, and the honours 
which he received in heaven; in the peace of God, Amen. 

It is meet and right and fitting for our souls, O holy beloved, 
that we should commemorate the sufferings and honourable contests 
of the saints, and more especially of Saint George the mighty, the 
most excellent and honourable athlete and warrior whose festival 
we celebrate to-day in this glorious commemoration who has shown 
himself to us approved by God and loveworthy before men, by 
reason of the righteous deeds which he displayed, through which 
lie was worthy of being called into the healthful sufferings of 
Christ and of bearing wounds in his body for Christ's sake. He 
was perfect in great * endurance, and mighty valour, and a pure [84] 
heart, and in giving up his entire will to God through the great 
zeal which he had in his heart towards God, and in the fear 
of Him which he had within him, which bore fruit plentifully to 
Him a hundredfold, sixtyfold, and thirtyfold. Moreover, he for- 
sook his -own will, and the multiplying of his great wealth, and his 
servants, and all his riches, and hearkened unto the voice of God, 
and took up his cross, and walked after our Lord Jesus, following 
after Him with an upright heart. On this account he received 
so great honour from Christ that He spake to him with an 
oath, saying, "Among all the martyrs who have existed there shall 
not be one like unto thee in heaven, neither shall there be any 
like unto thee for ever." 2 He burned with the Holy Spirit and

performed his daily life with zeal that he might be among those 
that are chosen and that benefit our souls. In short, he performed 
the whole will of God and put himself beyond the reach of every 
thought which could offend the soul. He lived in the service of 
God, and was remote from the vain sights of this life which are 
like dreams and which pass away quickly like shadows. For this 
reason he longed for heaven, remembering what the blessed Paul 
said, 1 "If ye be risen with Christ, seek after the things which are 

[85] above, where Christ sits at the right hand of God," and "Re- 
member the things which are above and not those which are 
upon earth." Neither his father's rank of Count, nor the high 
birth of his mother, nor the glory of his soldierhood could over- 
come the decision of the truly noble and holy Saint George, 
neither could any one of these lead him astray or seduce him 
to forsake his piety and firm decision and perfect faith. The 
grace of God protected him in every thing concerning which he 
was anxious, and he feared God who watched over him, and God 
strengthened him on every side, like a precious stone of adamant, 
that he might never be moved. On this account when the time 
of persecution came, the heart of the holy Saint George was 
ready, and when God called him into the holy contest he was 
prompt to obey. Moreover, he went to the holy contest and 
marched through it by himself: and when they tortured him he 
became valiant, and was firm and resisted his enemies. He fought 
with impious governors and received the crown incorruptible for 
ever, and an imperial sceptre and royal throne from the true 

[86] and holy Bridegroom our Lord Jesus Christ. And not only him- 
self, but multitudes of souls received crowns through him during 
the seven years in which they tortured him. If God in His true 
knowledge permit us, we hope to make manifest to you in this 
encomium the exalted honours of Saint George, the valiant athlete 
and soldier of Christ, the holy and noble man of Melitene. For 
the subject under discussion weighs upon us and compels us to 
show you everything truly. My heart rejoices greatly within me

tiis day and urges me to speak more especially in honour of 
>aint George the great luminary, whose festival is celebrated to- 
cay throughout the whole world. To him the Lord testified by 
.oath, saying, "I swear by Myself and by My Holy Father, and 
Ethe Holy Spirit, that among all those born of women there is 
i.ot one like unto John the Baptist, 1 and that in the whole 
Army of Martyrs there is not one like unto thee, neither shall 
there be one like unto thee for ever. For thou shalt be more 
exalted than they all in the kingdom of heaven, and they all 
shall call thee 'George the beloved of God the Highest'." I am 
,*ifraid, O my beloved, to begin to speak in honour of this great 
illuminator and warrior, for I know the poverty of my intellect 
and the feebleness of my halting speech and that I shall not [87] 
'attain to the measure of his exalted and excellent contest. 
But I hope and trust that the Lord will send me the rays of 
tthe light of that valiant man to illuminate my heart and to 
quicken my halting tongue, that I may speak a few words in his 
honour to a Christ-loving congregation. And since the descrip- 
tion of the honour of this valiant man, beloved, is above the 
conception of every man upon earth, more especially of my 
humble tongue, I, who desire to speak in honour of holy Saint 
George, the valiant martyr, need wisdom from the Lord and a 
celestial tongue that I may not omit anything of the mighty and 
exalted contests of that noble and valiant man, which he fought 
before all people through his great 2 endurance and bravery. And 
also, he is honourworthy for each deed of valour which he wrought 
with great sufferings and a great number of contests: and if the 
Lord permit 3 we will set before you a few of them. But mean- 
while we will set before you the qualities of which we have spoken 
of this brave soldier of Christ, Saint George. And what are these 
qualities ? His upright and unwavering faith in God ; his certain 
hope; his sincere love; his compassion for every one and the 
whole human race; his gentleness to all creatures, both great [88]

and small; his benignity; his goodness; his zeal; his patient 
endurance of the cares of this life; his good disposition and the joy 
of his soul; the blamelessness of his heart; his taking his stand at 
the tribunal boldly; his freedom of speech before the governors, 
entirely without shame or fear of man, as David the Psalmist 
said, "I will speak thy testimonies before kings, and will not be 
ashamed;" 1 his patient endurance of tortures with great 2 joy of 
heart; and the other sufferings which he bore for the sake of 
our Lord Jesus Christ. Of these contests we will set forth a 
few before you, as we promised to do in the beginning of the 
preface: the contests about which he heard that blessed voice of 
the Lord, saying, "As My Father has appointed Me a kingdom, 
so also will I appoint you who stand with Me in My tempta- 
tion an unending and indestructible kingdom for ever." 3 And 
again, "Ye shall eat and drink with Me in my kingdom." 4 By 
reason of the words full of joy and every happiness Saint George 
[89] was especially ready for the strife: and the remembrance of those 
good things made suffering light to him. He bore every thing 
with a ready will, for he was gladly prompt in every thing. 
Nothing stood in the way of his rigid resolution to suffer, for 
the sufferings of this world prepared him for the good things of 
the world to come, and patient endurance prepared for him the 
crown incorruptible for ever in heaven. We have extended our 
preface until now, beloved, and have not as yet set forth be- 
fore you the glorious and marvelworthy sufferings of Saint George 
the athletic martyr of Christ who warred and fought against im- 
piety. But now we will proclaim to you the things which we 
have set down, together with those which we shall say after them. 
Now it came to pass in times of old that when Dadianus, 
the great king of the Persians, had obtained sovereignty he ruled 
over the whole world. Now it is said of this tyrannical governor 
that he was lord of the whole world, but the true Lord of the 
world, Who is over all things and Who gave us this dominion 
was not known, And everyone carried his life in his hand for he

knew that the devil, the father of all wickedness, was envious of 
cur race at all times. Now when the devil saw the faith of 
( Christ increasing day by day throughout the whole world, he 
was filled with great envy, and entered into the heart of that [90] 
inpious governor Dadianus, who was more wicked than any one 
( Ise on the whole earth, and who hardened his heart like Pharaoh 
(f old and raised up a great persecution against all Christians. 
And he sat down and issued an edict to all the world in 
which was written as follows. "Inasmuch as a rumour has 
reached my ears that He whom Mary bore, and whom the raven- 
ing wolves of Jews slew, is to be worshipped and served by all 
people, and that Apollo and Poseidon and Hermes and Zeus and 
Artemis and the rest of the gods are not to be worshipped, I 
write to you, all ye governors of the whole world upon whose 
heads rests the authority of the empire, that ye may all come 
to me with your followers, counts, generals, soldiers, tribunes and 
rustics, that ye may know what I wish to ask of you." And he 
sent copies of the edict throughout the whole world. And sixty- 
nine governors, each with his retinue, were gathered together 
from all parts of the world, and came to him at the end of five 
years : and when they came to him, the whole country was in an 
uproar by reason of the greatness of the vast and innumerable 
multitude of those who were with them. 

When that wicked tyrant saw that they threw themselves [91] 
down at his feet and worshipped him and gave him gifts, his 
heart was puffed up exceedingly, and he roared like a lion: and 
he feasted with them for seventy days, and did not sit in judg- 
ment at all, for he feasted every day. After seventy days Da- 
dianus, the impious, godless, and senseless governor, (and sixty- 
nine other governors, making seventy godless governors in all), 
sat upon the tribune and caused them to bring before him all the 
instruments of the torture-chamber; the instruments for trial, the 
iron bars (?), the axes, the two-edged swords, the saws, the wheels, 
the iron hooks, the scrapers (?) of brass, the brazen cauldrons, 
the knives for splitting the tongue, the iron hands for splitting 
le bones, the large knives with saw-like edges, the workmen's 



280 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

chisels into which were fitted sharp pieces of iron, and other 
instruments of torture which we cannot describe. Now all these 
had been prepared by the governor for those days. And the 
tyrannical governor swore an oath before the sixty-nine governors 
and the whole army, saying, "If my hands find any persons 
throughout the whole world who are doubtful about serving 
the gods concerning whom we have given commands, I swear by 
the might of my kingdom that I will torture them with all these 

[92] instruments which lie before me, I will smash in their skulls, I 
will saw off their legs, and I will take out their brains through 
their nostrils. And as for you, governors, and everyone who 
hears me to-day, go ye all and worship the glorious gods that ye 
may receive the more honours from my majesty. But as for those 
who will not obey me and who believe on Jesus Whom the Jews 
crucified, I swear by the might of my kingdom and the crown 
upon my head, that I will lave all these instruments in the blood 
of their own bodies and in the blood of their sons and tender 
daughters, that I will confiscate all their property, and that I 
will burn them alive;" and the governors and all the multitude 
cast themselves down and worshipped the polluted gods. When 
all those who believed in God heard of this oath they were dis- 
mayed and terrorstricken by reason of the storm which had risen 
up against the church of Christ. 

Thus three years passed over the world without any one 
daring to utter from his lips the words, "I am a Christian;" and 
there was much tribulation of heart throughout the whole world, 
and no one uttered the name of the Lord from his mouth. But 
listen, beloved, and I will declare to you what happened after 
these things, for it is time to lead you to this honourable man 
and champion of Jesus Christ; this valiant conqueror; this veri- 
table pearl of God; this new David who destroyed Goliath, which 
is the devil and his wicked dragon; this sun of truth in the 

[93] heavens; this [luminary] whose radiance and light illumined the 
whole world; this man whose festival is celebrated to-day through- 
out the whole world. 

Saint George, the beloved of God and His angels, came 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 281 

from the country of Cappadocia, and was the son of the gover- 
nor of Diospolis. His father, an exceedingly orthodox man, died 
and left the righteous man, then ten years old, and his two sisters, 
one of whom was called Kasia and the other Mathrona. Now 
they were exceeding rich in gold and silver; and they had men- 
servants and maidservants in exceeding great numbers, and im- 
iiense herds of cattle, and fine horses, and countless flocks of 
eheep. In short, there was none like unto them in all Palestine 
knd its borders, and all the city loved them because of the good 
deeds which they wrought for everyone. 

Shortly after the death of Saint George's father, a new go- 
vernor was appointed over the country of Palestine in his stead; 
and he was a great lover of God. And he knew of the rank of 
the righteous man and of the good birth of his parents, and he 
had no child except a daughter two years old. When he came 
into the city with a mighty following, such as befitted his dignity 
and honour and greatness, he sent and fetched the holy youth, 
Saint George, and kissed him many times, and wept for the [94] 
removal of his father by death. And afterwards he entreated 
.iis mother to give him Saint George that he might be to him 
as a son, and that he might appoint him general over all the 
multitude' that was with him ; and she gave him. And he sent 
him to the king with one hundred soldiers, and he wrote to the 
king concerning him and showed him his rank and the good 
birth of his parents. When the king had read the letter he 
rejoiced in Saint George greatly, and immediately appointed him 
general over five thousand men, and wrote down that he should 
receive three thousand pieces of money every month besides his 
taxes for the public treasury which were remitted to him; and 
the king sent him back to the eparch with much royal pomp. 

When Saint George came back to his house, the whole city 
and the eparch came out to meet him, and they carried him into 
his house with great joy. On the morrow his mother spread out 
a feast for the whole city, for rich and poor alike, male and 
female, small and great; and she distributed much money among 
the widows and orphans. Then she invited the eparch and all 

36 



282 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

his company and made a great feast for them three whole days. 
And the eparch wrote down Saint George as his son and the 
heir of everything that he possessed, and he betrothed his daughter 
to him, and made him lord over all his house: and he was asso- 
ciated with him in the affairs of the government, and lived with 
him until ten years were ended. When Saint George had com- 

[95] pleted his twentieth year he was so exceeding strong and valiant 
that he was the leader in the fight, and there was no one among 
all the company of soldiers who could be compared with him for 
strength and beauty. And the grace of God was with him, and 
He gave him such beauty and strength that all those who saw 
him marvelled at his power and youth. When he went into battle 
he was a terror to those who saw him and to those who stood 
up against him, and when he rushed upon the battle array of 
the enemy [seated upon] his horse, he carried his drawn sword 
in his hand, and cried out to them, "I am George of Melitene, 
and I come against you in anger;" and straightway the weapons 
of battle fell from their hands, and he destroyed them all, and 
carried away their spoil. In short, God was with him in all 
his ways. 

When Saint George had completed his twentieth year, the eparch 
was anxious that he should celebrate his marriage with his daughter ; 
but he did not know that Christ was keeping him a pure virgin 
bridegroom for Himself. While the eparch was meditating these 
things in his heart, he went to his rest in God, and left every 

[96] thing that he had to Saint George. And the good God wished 
to lead this very valiant man to Himself that His holy name 
might be glorified in him, and He made this suitable counsel 
come into his heart, saying, "Behold, I hear that Dadianus the 
governor has gathered together a number of governors to him in 
the city of Tyre in respect of the boundaries of the empire. I 
will arise and take gifts and money, and will go and give them 
to them, and will ask them to make me eparch in the place of 
my fathers who have passed away." So he arose straightway, 
and took much money and many gifts, and put them in a ship 
with himself and his servants, and went to the governors. 



THE ENCOMIUM OP BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 



283 



When the saint had come to them he left his servants in 
the ship with all the baggage, and came up to the governors at 
once. And he met the lawless Dadianus, and saw the idols be- 
bre him and people offering up sacrifices to them with great 
;eal. And he was stupefied entirely for a long time and said 
vithin himself, "Why did I leave my own house and the beauty 
)f a Christ-loving city in which they worship the Lord of heaven 
ind earth by day and night, and come to these profane and lawless 
ones who have forsaken God and worship Satan? Why did I 
seek the rank of count from the hands of these godless and 
lawless ones? Cursed be these polluted lawless governors and [97] 
their dominion, which shall pass away in a moment, with them! 
I know that the Lord will receive me to Himself, and I will not 
seek a destructible kingdom of this world, but I will seek the 
kingdom of my Lord Jesus Christ which endureth for ever; and 
I will not return to my native city to my mother. And now 
enough of my life in this world, for I will rely upon my Lord 
Jesus Christ, who endureth for ever, in His goodness to give me 
strength to die for His holy name, and to take my bones again 
to my place of sojourning upon earth, and to lay them in the 
sepulchre of my dead ancestors." When Saint George had medi- 
tated these things in his heart he returned to the ship to his 
servants, and told them everything that was in his heart. And 
they entreated him, saying, "Master, if it is to be so let us return 
to our city with the ship, and let no one know for what purpose 
we came hither." Saint George said to them, "Far be it from 
me to return to my house to look upon the face of my mother 
again, but I will die in this place for the holy name of my Lord 
Jesus Christ, the king of heaven and earth and that which is 
beneath the earth, the Lord of all things. And now receive ye 
your freedom and your wages, and swear to me by God the true 
Almighty that ye will not return to my house again while I am [98] 
alive, lest my mother and my sisters know of my condition, and 
bring only death upon themselves. But now receive ye your 
wages and take each one of you three pounds of gold and ten 
;hanges of raiment, and go wheresoever ye please in the whole 



284 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

world, my city alone excepted. And if ye are alive and hear 
that I am dead, do me the kindness for Christ's sake to take 
my body to my native city and bury it." When the servants of 
the blessed man George had heard these things they wept a long 
time, but afterwards they saluted him [and went their way]. Now 
one of them did not return to Diospolis until the holy man con- 
summated his martyrdom, and three of them dwelt with the holy 
man in the city of Tyre to witness his strife. And the blessed 
man distributed the great wealth which he had brought among 
the poor and the infirm, and the gifts which he had brought for 
the governors he gave away entirely to the destitute; and he gave 
away his very clothes to the naked. 

Then Saint George leaped among the impious governors and 
cried out, saying, "I am a Christian openly, and I fear not your 
madness, governors of violence, for your gods are devils; may 
the gods who have not made heaven and earth perish from under 
the whole heaven and let every one who worships them hold his 
peace!" When the dragon of death, the lawless Dadianus, 
[99] looked upon him and saw that he was refined in body and fair 
in face as the light of the moon when she shines, and that he 
was altogether handsome in his form like precious, pure, white 
alabaster, he knew straightway that he was well born and that 
he was the son of an eminent eparch ; and he rose up speechless, 
marvelling at his youth and his gentle answers. And he answered 
and said to him, ".All we upon earth are filled with all the good 
things of the gods, and we are very dear to them, and thou thy- 
self art numbered with us in honour and majesty, and by thy 
noble bearing thou showest that thou art of exceeding high rank. 
And now be it known to thee, beloved one, the beauty of 
whose countenance I love, that during the three years which I 
and the sixty-nine governors whom I have gathered together 
from all parts of the world, have been sitting here, during these 
three years I say, we have not heard such a word as 'Christian* 
uttered throughout the whole world until this moment. I know 
in my heart that thou art most noble, and that thou art mighty 
in thy strength and in the multitude of thy riches; but neither

285 



[the other governors, nor the multitudes which surround them will 
rsgard thee with the same respect. But now, let the matter be 
manifest to thee, noble one, it is not only we and the gover- [100] 
i ors that thou hast despised, but thou hast also despised the 
righteous gods themselves; it is meet therefore for thee to repent, 
ind to be changed in heart, and to worship the gods that they 
i lay forgive thee thy first ignorance. As for us and the governors, 
we will take thee to ourselves as one of our beloved sons, and 
thou shalt receive from the gods and from us all the greatest 
honours and imperial rank; and thou shalt be ruler over ten fine 
cities with their suburbs from whatever part of the world thou 
, shalt choose them." Saint George the truly blessed man answered 
and said to him, "Cursed art thou, and the lawless governors 
who are with thee, and the foul idols to which thou givest the 
name of gods! they are not gods but devils, perish thou and 
uhey together!" And the governor was enraged, and said to him, 
/'I spoke to thee as a father speaking to his son, and I advised 
thee for thine own honour and welfare ; and thou hast despised 
us like a stupid and silly man. But tell me, Whence comest 
thou? What is thy name? What is the name of thy god? What 
are the names of thy parents who brought thee into the world? 
.Why hast thou come hither?" Now the blessed man did not 
wish to reveal his name nor the lofty rank of his parents. And 
the governor and all the other governors said to Saint George, 
"0 beautiful youth, we adjure thee by Jesus Christ, whom thou [101] 
callest God, to tell us what is thy name, and the name of thy 
parents, and the name of thy city, if those who begat thee are 
alive, if thou hast brother or sister, what thou seekest and for 
what purpose thou hast come to this city?" Now because they 
had adjured Saint George by the name of Christ, he declared, 
saying, "Inasmuch as ye have adjured me by the name of my 
God I am unable to hide anything from you. I am a Christian, 
and the son of a Christian, and no one of my family was ever an 
idolater. My father was Anastasius the governor of Melitene, 
and was the son of John the chief governor of Cappadocia. When 
emperor saw the valour of my father Anastasius, he demanded 



286 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

him from his father John, the governor of Cappadocia, and ap- 
pointed him governor over Melitene and the whole country of 
Palestine. My father Anastasius was twenty-five years of age 
when he received the office of governor, and the emperor gave 
him a company of three thousand armed soldiers for the main- 
tenance of his authority over the whole country of Palestine. And 
Anastasius sought out a noble lady, after the superior rank of the 
people of Melitene, among the great ones of the town, whom he 
might take to wife in holy wedlock. And they advised him, 

[102] saying, 'In all this city there is no one meet for thy rank and 
dignity and greatness except Kira Theognosta, the daughter of 
Dionysius, the count of Diospolis, who is associated with the 
rule of your majesty, for she is a virgin aged eighteen years, 
and there is no one [of like rank] in the whole country of Melitene 
except her father and his house.' And Anastasius commanded, 
and they straightway brought her father Dionysius, and he gave 
him her dowry twice her weight in gold and many presents, 
and male and female servants. To her he gave raiment and 
gardens and fields and vineyards which could not be confiscated, 
and he took her to wife, and he loved her exceedingly so that 
he forgot Cappadocia and his parents; and he lived in Palestine 
until God visited him there. When my mother, Kira Theognosta, 
the noble lady, bore me to him, he called my name George after 
his father's father. And again my mother bore him my two 
sisters, the name of the one was Kasia and that of the other 
Mathrona. My blessed father, Anastasius the governor, went to 
his rest and left me when I was ten years old ; one of my sisters 
was six years old and the other two. After this another gover- 
nor whose name was Justus, was appointed in the room of my 
father, and he took the place of my blessed father to me; he 
moreover appointed me general over five thousand soldiers, and 
wrote my name to the king to receive three thousand pieces of 

[103] money every month, and he knew nothing of what was in his 
house, except what he ate and drank, for it was I who ruled his 
possession and his house; and he betrothed me to his daughter 
that I might take her to wife in happy wedlock. And while he 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTU8. 287 

was purposing to carry out our marriage the time of all men 
cime upon him, and he departed from the sojourning of this 
viin life, and I buried him in the sepulchre of my blessed fathers; 
may God grant them everlasting rest, Amen! As for myself, I 
carried out my military duties satisfactorily, and by the skilful 
v orking of my lands and the generosity 1 of my mother, I acquired 
vealth, and with wealth came honours, and then in a ship of 
ny own I came with my servants to this city to present gifts 
cMid offerings to you and the other governors that ye might make 
iae governor in the room of my fathers who have passed away. 
But when I saw that ye had forsaken the God of heaven and 
earth who had granted royalty unto you and that ye served 
Satan, I said in my heart, 'Let every kingdom which proceedeth 
from Satan and his children which ye are perish'! And I 
gave all my gifts and possessions to the lesser brethren of my 
Lord Jesus Christ, who were more worthy of them than you, and 
I came to you to chide your folly, for the things which ye wor- 
ship are not gods, but foul devils. Now, behold, I will inform 
you of the whole matter, I am. a Christian boldly, and I believe [104] 
on my Lord Jesus Christ; whatsoever ye desire to do unto me, 
that do." 

When the governors heard from him that he came from 
Melitene of Cappadocia, and that he was the son of the chief 
governor, they were afraid. And they spake to him with flattering 
words, saying, "0 youth, we know thy rank and the good birth 
of thy ancestors, come now, listen to us, and let our advice be 
acceptable unto thee. Offer sacrifice unto the gods, that thou 
mayest receive from them not only th/e office of governor held 
by thy ancestors, but also the rulership over the whole world which 
we will give thee. Furthermore, next in order to these governors 
present, thou shalt appoint whomsoever thou pleasest to be counts 
in every province of the whole world, and they shall be generals 
and commanders and leaders under thy authority in every place." 
The just man answered, and said, "This counsel of yours is ex-

288 THE ENCOMIUM OP BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

ceedingly wicked, for it would lead me to destruction with you. 
And now, lawless ones, tell me to what god ye desire me to 
offer sacrifice?" Dadianus replied, "George, we wish thee to 
offer sacrifice to Apollo who spread out the heavens." The blessed 
man answered, "If Apollo had in truth spread out the heavens, 
thou couldst rightly have called him 'God'; and if Poseidon had 
in truth made fast the earth thou couldst rightly have called him 
'God' likewise. Art thou not ashamed, godless, wicked one 
and dragon of hell, to call this impure and diabolical idol by 
the name of 'God'? I will now make mention of some of the 

[105] saints, not for thy sake nor for the sake of the godless governors 
who are sitting with thee, but for the sake of these multitudes 
who are here present. To whom, governor, wouldst thou com- 
pare Apollo? Wouldst thou compare him to the great Peter, 
the Arch-apostle to whom were given the keys of the kingdom 
of heaven? Or wouldst thou compare him to the mighty Elijah 
the Tishbite who was an angel upon earth, and who was taken 
up to heaven in chariots of fire? Is he not more excellent than 
the wicked sorcerer Poseidon? or Smaraktos (Scamandros?) the 
profane who worked enchantment by fire? and who lived with 
the defiled one, whom they call Timetia (Demeter?) who gave 
birth to the Saraphin the sea warriors, who on account of their 
deeds were cast in to the abyss of the sea? In whom wouldst thou 
believe, king, in Jezebel who slew the prophets, or in the most 
exalted Virgin Mary who bore us our Lord Jesus Christ? Be 
ashamed then, foolish one, for thy wicked and impure gods 
are devils.''' 

When Dadianus the governor heard these things he was 
greatly enraged, and he commanded them to strip off the clothes 
which he had on and to tie a girdle round his loins and to hang 
him upon the wooden horse and to torture him until his bones 
protruded through his skin. Now he was twenty-one years and 

[106] three months old, and it was on the first day of the new moon 
of Pharmuthi that they began to torture the righteous man. And 
his holy body was disfigured with blood; but the blessed man 
bore such fearful sufferings as these with patience and fortitude. 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP AEBA THEODOTUS. 289 

And they forced iron boots upon his feet and drove iron nails 
ii to them ; and his blood flowed forth like water. And again 
they threw him upon his back, and laid a stone weighing six 
handred pounds (?) upon his belly until it burst asunder and 
his bowels poured forth upon the ground. And they beat upon 
his head with iron-headed bars until his brains poured out through 
bis nostrils white like milk. But he was of good cheer in all 
t lese sufferings, for Christ strengthened his soul within him. And 
again they brought iron knives the edges of which were like saws, 
and they sawed his flesh into shreds with them; and Dadianus 
commanded them to bring salt and strong vinegar, and to pour 
them upon his wounds. Then he made them lacerate his body 
with hair bands until his bones protruded, and his flesh fell in 
pieces, on the ground; but the blessed man did not die, for 
God strengthened his spirit within him. And they threw him 
upon a wooden bed, and they drove twenty nails through his 
body into the wooden bed; and they lifted him up senseless, and 
carried him into the prison. And multitudes of those who were [107] 
standing by in those days wept for his beauty and his stature 
land his youth, saying to each other, "Alas for the beauty of this 
youth from Melitene, and the comeliness of his noble body which 
these lawless ones are destroying with fearful tortures, such as 
they have brought upon him this night." And when they had 
gone to their homes they spake to their wives and children, say- 
ing, "Verily we have to-day seen with our eyes in what manner 

and in what form "; and the whole city was talking 

about him that night. 

And it came to pass that an angel of light appeared to him in 
prison in the middle of the night, and there was a great earth- 
quake and the city was moved to its Very foundations. And 
behold God came into the prison with thousands of his holy 
angels, and the whole place was filled with exceeding precious 
incense. And God called to Saint George, saying, "George, my 
beloved, rise up healed and without corruption, from the couch 
on which thou sleepest;" and he straightway leaped up without 
any pain in his body, and he was like one who had risen up 

37 




290 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

from a royal feast. Then he cast himself down and worshipped 
[108] the Lord, but He took him by the hand and raised him up, and 
saluted him lovingly, and laid His hand upon all his body, and 
filled him with strength, and said to him, "O beloved one, be 
strong and of good cheer, for I will be with thee until thou hast 
put to shame these lawless kings. I swear by Myself, O George 
My beloved, that as there has never arisen among those born of 
women one greater than John the Baptist, so there shall never 
be any one among the martyrs that can be compared with thee, 
or be like unto thee. And behold these seventy lawless kings 
shall torture thee for seven years, and thou shalt do many mighty 
deeds, and shalt die three times, and I will raise thee up again : 
but on the fourth time I will come to thee on a cloud of light 
with the celestial hosts and the Prophets and the Apostles and the 
holy Martyrs, and I will bring thee to the place of safe keeping 
which I have prepared for thee." When the Saviour had said 
these words to him, He gave him the salutation of peace and 
filled him full of joy; and He went up to heaven with His angels. 
And the blessed man was looking after Him and rejoicing greatly 
and blessing God until day-break by reason of the words which 
God had spoken to him. When it was morning, the lawless 
governor and those who were with him commanded that they 
should go into the prison and see if the righteous man was alive 
[109] or not. When they opened the door of the prison they saw the 
saint standing up praying, and his face shone like the, sun, and 
they marvelled greatly and ran and told the governor everything; 
and they commanded them to bring him up on the tribune. 
While they were bringing him the saint said, "My God, my God, 
hasten to me, my God, why hast thou forsaken me, my God, 
haste thee to deliver me." When he had come to the tribune, 
he said, "0 tribune, tribune, I and my Lord Jesus Christ 
have come to thee and thy Apollo." And when the lawless ones 
saw him they marvelled, and said to him, "How is it that no 
' harm has come to thee? and who has healed thee?" The righteous 
man said to them, "0 lawless ones, Ye are not worthy, to hear 
with your profane ears the name of Him that has healed nie." 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 291 

Then. Dadianus was furious with rage, and commanded them to 
tie the saint to four high stakes and to give him four hundred 
lishes on his back, and after that to turn him round, and to 
j;ive him four hundred lashes on his belly; and his lacerated 
jlesh fell to the ground piece by piece and his blood ran like 
^vater. And Dadianus made them bring hot ashes and lay them 
-m his body, and pour vinegar and naphtha over his flesh; and 
le caused eight soldiers and five military tribunes to watch over 
aim in prison until the next day. Now the fire was kindling in [no] 
the whole body of the blessed man, and he was in great suffering. 
And the Lord Jesus Christ saw his sufferings and that he was 
unable to speak at all, and came down from the summit of heaven 
and spake with him, saying, "I am strengthening thee, My beloved 
George, stand forth from all thy sufferings and be of good cheer, 
for I am with thee." And the righteous man arose, and God laid 
His hand upon all his body and healed him, and He gave him 
the salutation of peace, and went up to heaven in glory and 
honour; and the blessed man sang psalms in prison until the 
morning. When the soldiers and the tribunes who were guarding 
him saw what had happened to the saint and that he was strong 
they marvelled and told the governors. Dadianus the governor 
said, "George is an arch-magician, but I will hear no more of 
him until I can bring an arch-magician more powerful than he." 
And he straightway sat down and wrote a rescript, saying, "Da- 
dianus the governor writes to the whole world, greeting. Let 
any magician who has power to put an end to the magic of the 
Christians come hither to me, and I will give him one hundred 
pounds of gold, and two hundred pieces of silver, and every sort 
of possession, and he shall be second in my kingdom;" and this [in] 
rescript was read in every place. And behold there appeared 
before the governor a magician, whose name was Athanasius, 
saying, "0 king, live for ever! Command this man called George 
to perform something before thee, and I will destroy his magic." 
Dadianus rejoiced greatly and said to the magician, "What thing 
wilt thou do in my presence that I may know that thou canst 
overcome the magic of this Christian?" Athanasius said to the 



292 THE ENCOMIUM OP BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

governor, "Command them to bring me an ox;" and he com- 
manded them to bring an ox. And Athanasius spoke some words 
into the ears of the ox, and he split asunder into two pieces. 
The governor laughed and said, "Verily thou art able to van- 
quish the magic of the Christians." Athanasius said to the go- 
vernor, "Let them bring me a pair of scales." And when they 
had brought them they threw the parts of the ox into the two 
pans of the scales, and they came out equal to one another. 
Then Dadianus the governor caused them to bring Saint George 
to him, and he said to him, "It is for thy sake that I have 
summoned this arch-magician into my kingdom ; thou must either 
overcome his magic or he will overcome thine." Saint George 
said to the governor, "The Christian who has taken refuge in 
Christ never works magic, impious one." And the saint said 
to the magician, "Hasten, my son, and what thou desirest to do 
unto me, do speedily; for I see that the grace of God has drawn 
[112] nigh unto thee." Then Athanasius took a cup and filled it by 
his magic, and invoked the powerful names of demons over it, 
and gave it to Saint George to drink; and when he had drunk 
it no evil happened to him at all. Athanasius said, lt O George, 
I will give thee another cup, and if no evil happens to thee I 
myself will believ* on thy God." And Athanasius the magician 
took the cup and pronounced the names of demons more evil than 
the first over it, and gave it to the righteous man; and he drank 
it, and no evil happened to him at all. Then Athanasius threw 
himself down at the feet of the saint, and said to him, "I conjure 
thee by Jesus Christ to give me the sign of the cross of Jesus 
Whom thou servest that He may open to me the kingdom of 
heaven." When the holy martyr saw his faith, he struck the 
earth with his foot, and there welled up a stream of water filled 
with an exceeding precious odour. And the blessed man prayed 
quietly, and Thomas the Apostle came and baptized Athanasius 
the magician in the name of the Father and the Son and the 
Holy Ghost, and he obtained the remission of his sins. And 
the Apostle gave them the salutation of peace secretly and hid 
himself from them ; and straightway the fountain of water returned 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTU8. 293 

to its place. When the governor and those who were with him [113] 
siw what had happened they were silent and marvelled. And 
Athanasius cried out before the governor, and said, "I am a 
Christian, and I thank God and His servant George, that He 
1 ath numbered me the workman of the eleventh hour among 
His servants, and I hope that His mercy will receive me through 
the prayer of George the holy and mighty martyr." And the 
lawless governors were enraged, and they commanded that Atha- 
nasius should be taken outside the city and have his head cut off 
with the sword: so he consummated his martyrdom on the 23rd 
of the month Tobi, 1 on the Sabbath day; may his holy blessing be 
with us all for ever and ever, Amen. 

And the righteous man turned to the governor, and said to 
him, "Do unto me whatsoever thou pleasest." The governor 
answered, "By the gods, George, I will make an end of thee." 
And he made them gather together workmen and materials (?) 
to make an exceeding high wheel, and he made them fix in it 
one hundred sword blades, each a cubit long, and they filled it 
entirely with very sharp iron knives, and drove deadly iron spikes 
and hooks into the flat part of the rim of the wheel. And he 
caused two flat tables to be made [beneath] the wheel having 
parts filled with spear heads and nails, and parts filled with 
cooking knives having edges like saws; and there were two poles [H4] 
of olive wood which fitted into cavities, and twenty men worked 
each pole [to turn the wheel]. 2 Then Dadianus commanded them 
to bring the blessed man to him, and when they had brought 
him, he said, "Behold, George, if thou wilt worship Apollo thou 
shalt receive a sceptre of royalty from me; but if thou wilt still 
belong to Christ then look upon this machine which I have made, 
and into which I will cast thee in order to put thy body to the 
test, thou valiant soldier!" The saint said, "I belong to Christ;

2 I am not certain that my translation of the description of the wheel 
is accurate, for there are some words in the Coptic text which are not to be found 
in the dictionaries and the meanings of which I know not. For the description 
of the wheel according to Metaphrastes see Acta Sanctorum, April 23, Appendix 
p. xiii col. 2. 




294 THE ENCOMIUM Or BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

do unto me whatsoever thou wishest." Then Dadianus com- 
manded them to put him on the wheel and that forty men should 
make it revolve. When the blessed man saw the instrument of 
torture which was fixed in the wheel, he feared for himself be- 
cause he carried flesh which was exceedingly tender; and he 
said within himself, "I shall not escape with my life this time." 
Then he straightway spread out his hands and prayed, saying, 
"I praise Thee, my Lord Jesus Christ, and I give thanks unto 
Thee that Thou hast esteemed me worthy of the wonderfulness 
of healthful sufferings, even as they crucified Thee, my Lord, 
upon the cross and set Thee between two thieves. And behold 
they have made a double tearing wheel of torture for me for 
Thy holy name's sake, my Lord; Hearken now, Saviour, 
to Thy servant George. thou Being unsurpassed from all 
time, Thou unchanging crown of the martyrs, Who hast spread 
out the heavens like a chamber, Who in wisdom pourest out 
[115] dew upon all creation when it is parched and dried up; Who 
hast made the clouds drop down rain upon the earth, on the 
just and unjust alike; Who hast weighed the mountains and hills 
in a measure and scales; Who hast rebuked the disobedient, 
wicked, and lawless ones and hast cast them into the lowest and 
darkest part of Amenti, where they now are in the bonds and 
fire of Amenti and are tortured by wicked dragons, rebuke, 
my God, all these impious ones, and let nothing stand against 
Thy command! Thou Who in the last days didst appear to 
us upon earth und didst take flesh through the God-bearer, Mary 
the Virgin, by an unfathomable and unknowable mystery; the 
true offspring [of God]; Who didst walk upon the waves of the 
sea and Whose feet were not wetted by them; Who with five 
loaves of bread didst feed five thousand men, and they were satis- 
fied; Who didst rebuke the sea and the waves and they subsided 
everywhere, and were obedient unto Thee, for all creation is 
Thine; let now Thy mercy come upon us and upon me, thy ser- 
vant George, for with Thee there is mercy, and to Thee and to 
Thy Good Father and to the Holy Spirit belongeth the glory for 
ever, Amen." 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 295 

When he had said, 'Amen', they threw him on the wheel and 
h3 fell down upon the cutting machine, and they dragged hiin[ii6] 
07er it once, and he was speedily put an end to; and his bones 
a ad his flesh were destroyed. Then the tyrant cried out before 
t le governors who were round about him, and said, "There is no 
od save Apollo and Hermes and Zeus and Herakles and Athene 
and Scamandros and Poseidon: these are they who have esta- 
1 lished the heavens, who give dominion to kings and who make 
the mighty to have power upon earth. Where is now Saint 
George's God, whom the magistrates of the Jews slew? why has 
He not come to deliver him out of my hands?" And Dadianus 
commanded them to take the fragments of his bones and flesh, 
and the earth which had drunk his holy blood, and to throw them 
into a dry, waterless pit; and they piled up dirt over it, saying, 
"Lest the Christians find a fragment of his body, and work miracles 
therewith." And Dadianus and the sixty-nine governors arose, 
and went in to eat, rejoicing that they had overcome their enemy. 

Then straightway the whole air became black and the sky 
was covered with clouds, and there were thunders and lightnings, 
and the whole earth shook to its foundations. And the holy 
archangel Michael blew with his trumpet, and the Lord came 
upon a chariot of the Cherubim with thousands of angels, and 
stood by the pit. And the Lord said to Michael, "Speak unto 
this pit, saying, 'Give me the blood and the bones and the flesh [H7] 
and the pieces of the righteous man George', for he said, 'I shall 
not escape with my life this time', that he may understand with 
all his heart that I am the God of Abraham, and the God of 
Isaac, and the God of Jacob;" and Michael laid them before 
Him. And the Lord took the bones in His hand, saying, "0 my 
son George, the hand which fashioned Adam is now about to 
fashion thee, my beloved." And He breathed into him and gave 
him the breath of life; and Saint George arose from the dead; 
and the Lord embraced him and gave him the salutation of peace, 
and went up to heaven ; and Saint George was looking after Him. 

And he arose and came to the lawless governors and the 
soldiers who had thrown him into the pit, and said to them, 



296 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

"Know, lawless ones, that I am George whom ye slew and 
cast into the pit." When the impious Dadianus had considered 
him, he said to the soldiers, "It is his shade." Magnentius the 
governor of Armenia said, "It is not his shade, but it is like 
him." Anatolius the general said to them, "Are ye not ashamed, 
godless ones, to hide the truth? Verily this is George, the 
servant of the living God. whom my Lord Jesus Christ, the 

[H8] Son of the living God, has raised up from the dead; and there- 
fore I, and all the soldiers who march with me, believe on iny 
Lord Jesus Christ." Then the impious Dadiajms was enraged 
and commanded them to take them outside the city, and to 
divide them into ten parts, and to slay them with the sword. In 
this manner they consummated their martyrdom on the twenty- 
third day of the month Mechir, and received their incorruptible 
crowns. Now there were martyred three thousand soldiers and 
Anatolius the general and nine thousand people of the multitude 
who were standing by, male and female, and Saint George stood 
by comforting them all until they had nobly consummated their 
martyrdom: may their holy blessing be with us all for ever. 
Amen. 

After these things Dadianus commanded them to throw him 
on to an iron bed and to fasten him to it by stakes driven 
through his back. Then he made them fill a brazen vessel with 
lead and heat it until the lead was as liquid as water, and he 
made them open tlje mouth of the Saint and pour it boiling hot 
into his belly; but no harm happened to him. Then the impious 
one commanded them to pull the stakes out of his body and to 
hang him up, head downwards, from the branch of a tree, and 
to tie a stone to his neck: and he passed ten days and ten nights 
hanging down until his blood ran out of his nose like water. 
When ten days had gone by Dadianus the tyrant took him down, 
and there was a little breath left in him. And he made them 

[119] lay him upon the ground and hack his body with a sword from 
the sole of his foot to the crown of his head; and they hacked 
him to pieces. Then he made them beat his head with hatchets 
until it split asunder, and they cut off the top of his head and 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTU8. 297 

1 is legs with axes. And he made them bring a large red-hot 
iron rod and thrust it through his right ear, and some servants 
came and drove it through his head until it came out on the 
other side: and they lifted him up like one dead to carry him to 
ihe prison. Now the righteous man was in prison, and was 
suffering great pain by reason of the tortures of his 'holy body, 
md at the third hour of the night when the holy man was in 
igony the Lord Jesus Christ came to him in prison with His 
.aoly angels, and the whole prison was full of light. And the 
Lord said to him, "George, behold I command thee to arise and 
stand upon thy feet healed;" and he straightway arose, and he 
was whole. And the Lord embraced him, and laid His hand 
upon his whole body, and filled him with comfort, and said to 
him, "Arise and go to these impious governors and put them and 
their gods to shame; be of good cheer and fear not, for I am 
with thee always. And I say unto thee, beloved George, that 
there shall be joy in heaven over thy endurance, and the angels 
shall rejoice over thy good fight. Behold now thou shalt endure 
the tortures of these impious governors for six years, and shalt [120] 
die [thrice]; but the third time I Myself will come with My holy 
angels and will receive thy soul, and will make thee to lie down 
in the bosom of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the Paradise 
of their joy;" and when the Lord had spoken these things to him, 
He gave him the salutation of peace and went up to heaven in 
glory, and Saint George was looking after Him. And he passed 
the whole night in prayer until the day broke. 

When the morning came, the lawless governors commanded 
them to bring Saint George to the tribune. Magnentius the 
governor said to him, "0 George, I want to see a sign at thy 
hands, and [if thou do it] verily, by my lord the Sun and by the 
Moon and by Artemis the mother of all the gods, I will believe 
upon thy God, Jesus Christ." [Saint George said to him,] "I 
know that thou dost never speak the truth, but tell me what 
thou wouldst ask now." The governor said to him, "Behold 
there are seventy thrones here [made] of different sorts of wood, 
of which some bear fruit, and some do not. If these, through 

38 



298 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

thy prayer, bud and put forth roots, and the trees which bear 
fruit are distinguished from these which do not, I will believe on 
thy God Jesus." And straightway Saint George bowed his knees 

[121] and prayed to God. When he had said 'Amen', the Spirit came 
upon the thrones and they budded and put forth roots. Those 
which bore forth leaves and fruit, and those which did not bear 
fruit sprouted with leaves [only]. When Dadianus and the other 
impious governors had seen what had happened through the 
righteous man, they were greatly ashamed, and they cried out 
saying, "A great god art thou, Apollo, for thou manifestest 
thy power in dry wood." 

And the lawless governor commanded them to put Saint 
George upon a brass bed and he made them bring two iron nails, 
each a cubit long, and make them red hot and drive them through 
his two shoulders into the bed ; so the righteous man was pinned 
to the bed. Then he made them bring an artificer to split his 
head open with an iron axe, and he made them pour boiling 
pitch through the opening until it filled his belly and ran out 
through his mouth (?) and ears and from under him. And im- 
mediately the fire kindled in his head and in all his body he 
became as a dead man. And they drew the nails out of his 
shoulders 1 and cast him into a brass 'ox', and they heated the 
'ox' which the blessed man was in for three days with vine and 
cypress wood. And the Lord looked upon the sufferings of the 
righteous man and came to him upon a cloud, and extinguished 
the fire under him, and healed all his body; and the brazen 'ox' 

[122] split asunder. And the blessed George came forth like one who 
had been bathing in a bath, and the Lord embraced him, and 
filled him with strength, and gave him the salutation of peace, 
and went up to heaven in glory; and Saint George was looking 
after him. Then the blessed man stood up before the governors 
without any blemish upon him. And when the multitude saw 
what had happened they cried out, "One is the God of George, 
Jesus Christ, help us." Then the governors caused the multi-

tud.e which stood round about them to be beheaded with the 
s^vord: thus five thousand souls consummated their martyrdom 
a id received the crown of life on the tenth day of Phamenoth. l 
And the holv man was encouraging them until they consummated 
t icir martyrdom in the peace of God, Amen. 

After these things the governors commanded them to bring 
1 undies of thick vine stakes which they sharpened with knives, and 
\ hen they had set the righteous man upon a stone, they stuck them 
into his holy body, and they gashed his thighs and stuck them 
in them. Then they pulled out the nails of his hands and feet, 
and pricked the places with the sticks, moreover the attendants 
L tlirust two sharp sticks up his nostrils into his head. Then they 
rolled him on the stone and the sticks went into his holy body 
ptntil his blood ran down upon the ground like a stream of water; [123] 
and the righteous man suffered greatly during this torture. And 
then he made them fasten him by his back to a plank of wood 
and put another plank on his belly, and they nailed the two 
planks together and so held the saint fast between them; and 
they brought a huge iron saw and sawed him in two from his 
head to his feet; so he gave up the ghost. And immediately 
the governors saw he was dead they commanded a large brass 
cauldron to be brought, and the body of the saint with his blood 
and all his flesh and anything of it that had adhered to the 
sticks and the teeth of the saw to be thrown into it. Then they 
threw lead and asphalt and pitch (?) into it until the flames 
mounted up to a height of more than fifteen cubits. Now the 
cauldron was placed in a pit dug in the earth to the depth of 
thirty cubits. And the governors commanded them to pile up 
earth over the cauldron and the pit to the height of nine cubits, 
and they built a fortress for the governors over the pit, saying, 
"That the Christians may not find the least particle of one of 
his limbs, or they will build a martyriuin over it." And when 
the attendants were going away, behold there was a great trembling 
in the air, the sun became dark arid the stars appeared at mid-

day; and the Lord came down from heaven with thousands of 
angels, and the choirs of the saints, and the twelve Apostles were 

[124] with them and David the king and all the Prophets. Now the 
whole place was filled with so great a light that all those coming 
into the city, and even the impious governors, saw the light which 
fell full upon their faces. And the Lord came to the place where 
the cauldron was and commanded the archangel Gabriel to cleave 
the earth and to bring up the cauldron. Then the Lord cried 
out over the ashes of the bones of the righteous man that were I 
in the cauldron, saying, "George, George, I am the God who 
raised Lazarus from the dead, and I now command thee to stand 
up and come forth from the cauldron;" and the righteous man 
arose straightway and stood up perfect without any defect in him I 
at all. And the Lord embraced him and filled him with power j 
and consolation, saying, "0 George, My beloved, be strong and I 
endure; for I have established a throne for thee in the heavenly 
Jerusalem, the like 1 of which there is not among the thrones of 
all the martyrs which have been from the beginning; and there [ 
shall never be any like unto thee among those who are yet to ' 
come, George, My beloved." And all the multitude of the j 
Prophets and of the Apostles came forward and saluted him, and I 
said to him, "Verily thou art blessed, George, the beloved of j 
God and His angel and of the Cherubim and the Seraphim, and j 
we glorify ourselves in thee and in thy great endurance, and 
especially because thyself alone hast confessed the name of God 

[125] in boldness throughout the whole world and the fulness thereof: 
for this reason our Saviour will confess thee in heaven, and thou 
shalt dwell in unspeakable glory before the face of the whole ij 
creation of heaven and earth/' And he was filled with joy, and 
the Lord gave him the salutation of peace, and He went up to 
heaven with His angels and all His saints in great honour and 
glory. 

And the blessed man came into the theatre of the city with 
his face full of light, and he cried out, saying, "O all ye gover- 
nors, and ye that are with them, all ye soldiers and every 
person in this city, come forth all of you and look upon me, for, 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTU8. 301 

by the might of God, I am alive. I am the Galilean George 
jrom Melitene; I am he whom the godless governors slew and 
buried in the earth; but my Lord Jesus Christ raised me up 
rom the dead, for He is the God of heaven and earth." When 
he multitude knew that it was George they cried out, saying, 
'There is no God in heaven or earth except Jesus Christ the 
God of George of Melitene." 

And a certain woman among the multitude whose name was 
Scholastike, who saw the miracle which had taken place, be- 
lieved and cried out to the martyr, saying, "0 my Lord George, 
my son was yoking his ox to plough in the fields when it fell [126] 
down and died; and now, my lord, help us, for we are poor." 
The righteous man said to her, "Take this little stick which I 
now hold in my hand, and go to the field and lay it upon the 
ox, saying, 'George, the servant of the Lord God says, Rise up, 
ox, from the dead';" and she did as Saint George had told 
her, and the ox lived. And she glorified God, and continued with 
Saint George. 

Now there was a multitude of people standing round Saint 
George who was teaching them the knowledge of Christ; and they 
cried out, "One is the God of Saint George the valiant soldier 
of Christ the King." The governors said to the soldiers, "What 
are these loud cries which we hear?" and a soldier said to them, 
"It is for Saint George who has risen from the dead, and the 
multitude cried out, believing that his God has raised him from 
the dead." When the governors heard that George was alive 
again they were wholly stupefied 1 and feared greatly; and they 
said to each other, "Perhaps it is not he." The soldiers said, 
"Behold we will bring him to you that ye may know of a cer- 
tainty that he is George the soldier." And they brought the 
saint to the throne with the whole multitude following after him 
and crying out, "We are Christians boldly;" and they cursed 
the governors, and were enraged at them. And the governors [127] 
commanded the soldiers to attack the multitude, and they slew

them from the third hour of that day until the tenth hour of the 
next day; and the number of those who received the crown on 
that day was eight thousand five hundred souls, and they entered 
heaven with glory; may their holy blessing be with us all for 
ever, Amen! 

After these things the governors turned to Saint George and 
said to him, "How didst thou rise from the dead?" The blessed 
man said to them, "My Lord Jesus Christ, for whose sake I 
have suffered all these tortures upon earth, raised me up from 
the dead." And one of the governors whose name was Raklilos 
(sic) answered and said to the righteous man, "Verily I marvel 
at thee how thou hast come forth from this cauldron when thou 
wast fragments, and hadst been buried in the earth. And now 
thou wouldst desire that 1 should believe on thy God in respect 
of the thrones which budded, but we do not know if it was thy 
God who wrought this miracle or our gods. And behold there 
is here, a rock sepulchre in which some of the ancients have been 
buried; now if thou prayest to thy God and He raises them up 
alive I myself will believe upon Him." The blessed George said, 
"I kuow that thou wilt not believe except by the fire which shall 
[128] consume you all, nevertheless, for the sake of the multitude 
standing here I will make manifest the glory of my Lord Jesus 
Christ. Arise then, thou and those whom thou wishest, open the 
tomb and bring hither before this multitude what is therein, that 
the name of my true king may be made manifest to-day." Then 
Rakillos (sic) the governor, and Dadianus the governor, and Dio- 
nysius the governor of Egypt arose and opened the stone tomb, 
and brought out the rotten bones of those who were dead. And 
the governors said to him, "0 George, the bones are rotten and 
have fallen to dust by reason of the length of time 1 [they have 
been buried]. The righteous man said to them, "Bring hither 
the dust"; so the three governors made the attendants carry the 
bones and the dust which they found and bring them and lay 
them before Saint George. Then the blessed man bowed his

THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTU8. 303 

knees and prayed to God, and straightway there was a mighty 
earthquake and lightning and thunders, and the Spirit of God 
oame over the earth and the bones and the dust. And there 
'>ame forth from the dust five men and nine women and a little 
;hild : and great fear came upon the governors and the multitudes 
vho were with them by reason of the miracle which took place, 
md they were all alike frightened. And the governors cried out 
:o one of those who had risen from the dead, and said to him, 
'What is thy name?" He replied, "My name was Boes (sic)" 
The governor said to him, "How many years is it since thou 
didst die?" and he that had been dead replied, "Four hundred 
years." They said to him, "Had Christ come into the world 
when thou wast alive?" and he said to him, "Not yet" And [129] 
the governors said to him, "What god didst thou worship?" and 
he said, "I worshipped the god Apollo, a deaf and blind and 
soulless idol. And it came to pass that when I died they threw 
me into a river of fire [which flowed along] in the depths of hell 
and which consumed me mercilessly, and they kept me in its 

torturing waves for years. And the idol Apollo 

was in it with me and inflicted great sufferings upon me, saying, 
"Know, wretched creature, that I am not God, but a soulless 
idol. Why didst thou forsake thy God and worship Satan? 
for this reason thou shalt now receive everlasting punishment with 
me." And after a time Jesus the Son of the living God came 
down into Amenti, and a cross of light went before Him, and 
all Amenti shone with splendour. And He carried away all the 
captivity of those imprisoned with Him, and when it was the 
Lord's day, God looked upon the remainder of those who were 
being punished and gave, them rest; but to us who served idols 
.there was never any rest given at any time." When the gover- 
nors and the multitudes had heard these things they were stupefied. 
And Dadianus the governor said to him, "By Apollo the mighty 
god, thy understanding has perished by reason of the strength of 
him which has passed over thee: come now, thou and thy brethren 
who have risen from the dead, and worship the great god Apollo." 
Jovinus answered and said to him, "Curses on thee, profane 



304 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

[130] dog, and upon thy polluted Apollo with thee." Then he that 
had risen from the dead threw himself at the feet of the saint, 
saying, "I beseech thee, my lord George, the martyr of Jesus 
Christ, upon whom the armies of God have looked with desire 
to hring him to themselves in Jerusalem, the city of Christ, to 
give us all together the seal of Christ and the baptism of Christ; 
and I beseech thee, my lord George, to pray for us that we 
may not return again to that place from which we have come/' 
When the righteous man saw their faith, he stamped on the 
ground with his foot, and a fountain of exceeding clear water 
appeared, and they all received baptism in it by the hands of 
James the holy Apostle, the brother of John, in the name of the 
Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. And Saint George 
made them go down into the sepulchre and they returned there; 
and they were perfect in peace and entered into the Paradise 
of their joy through the prayer of Saint George. 

And after these things the governors said to each other, 
"What shall we do with this magician?" and they commanded 
to bring the Saint to the tribune. When they had brought him 
they said to him, "By thy sorcery thou hast shown us devils in 
the shape of men;" so they laid him down and beat him with 
spiked clubs until his blood ran down upon the ground. 

Then Dadianus commanded search to be made throughout 

all the city until they found a poor widow woman whose like for 

poverty there was not in the whole city; and he made them put 

[131] the righteous man in her house, saying, "I will disgrace the 

Galilean race." 

Now when it was morning the blessed George rose up, and 
found his body healed of its wounds, and the whole house was 
filled with light. When the soldiers who were with him in the 
house saw the great light they all fell upon their faces. And 
the Lord stayed His chariot over the place where the saint was 
and commanded the archangel Salathiel to minister to the righteous 
man; and the Lord filled him with strength and went up to heaven- 
in glory. And Saint George took hold of the soldiers and raised 
them up and comforted them ; and he sent them on their way in

peace. Then he stood up in the house of the poor widow woman, 
^nd said to her, "Give me some bread to eat, for I have eaten 
nothing for six days." The poor widow answered, "Forgive me, 
master, but I have no bread in my house." Saint George said 
o her, "What god dost thou believe on?" The widow woman 
mswered, "I believed on Apollo." The blessed man said to her, 
; Verily it is for this reason that thou hast no bread in thy 
louse;" and the woman saw that his face was bright and shining 
jike that of an angel of God. Then she said, "I will go and 
seek after bread for this holy man of God, peradventure I may [132] 
ind favour with my neighbours." When the widow had gone out 
fche righteous man sat down and his face shone brightly, and his 
back leaned upon a wooden pillar close by him which supported 
one of the wooden beams that went into the roof of the house 
of the poor widow. And immediately the back of the righteous 
man touched the wood it took root, and budded, and forced its 
way up through the widow's roof, and towered up more than fifteen 
cubits above the greatest and highest buildings of the city, and 
the archangel Michael came to him and brought him a table of 
food, and the blessed man ate and placed the heavenly bread 
upon the widow's table, and it was filled with exceeding choice 
bread; and Michael blessed her house and filled it full of all 
good things like the palaces of governors. When the woman 
came in and saw the face of Saint George shining like the sun, 
and the table filled with bread and all good things, and the 
pillar of wood that had budded, she said in her heart, "The God 
of the Galileans has come into my house to the wretched in 
spirit, and has helped my poverty." And she hastened and threw 
herself down at the feet of the righteous man and worshipped 
him, saying, "Master, have mercy upon me." Saint George 
answered and said to her, "Rise up, for I am not the God [of 
the Galileans, but only His servant." The woman said to him, 
"If thou art His servant, and I have found favour in thy sight, 
Master, let me speak before thee." The saint said to her, 
,,Speak." The woman said, "I have a child nine months old, [133] 
and he is blind, deaf, and lame, and I am ashamed to show him

to my neighbours. His father died and left him when he had 
been conceived in me four months, and since I gave birth to 
him I have never allowed my neighbours to see him; if now, 
master, thy mercy will help me I will believe upon thy God." 
The righteous man said to her, "The grace of God shall appear 
to-day; bring 1 hither the child to me." And she brought the child 
from the third story of her house and laid him in Saint George's 
bosom. And he prayed over him and made the sign of the cross 
over him and over his eyes, and breathed into his face ; and the 
scales fell from his eyes and he saw immediately. His mother 
said to the saint, "Master, let him hear with his ears and let 
him walk." The righteous man said to her, "0 woman, this is" 
sufficient now; when I call him, he shall hear my voice, and shall 
walk and perform my words;" and she was unable to answer 
him a word, for she saw that his face was like that of an angel 
of God. 

Then the seventy lawless governors came out and walked 
about through the open spaces of the city: and when they saw 
the tree which, through God and Saint George, towered up fifteen 
cubits high above the city, they were all astonished together. 
Dadianus said, "What is this sight which has come to the city 
[134] to-day? and why has this great and lofty tree put forth its leaves 
here?" They said to him, "This miracle has happened through 
George the Galilean;" and the governor commanded to call Saint 
George to him. Tljen he made eight executioners flog him with 
four fourfold leather whips until his flesh fell piece by piece upon 
the ground, and his blood ran through his nostrils like water to 
the ground; and he made them bring blazing torches and put 
under his body. And he made them bring a plank of wood and 
lay him upon it, and they nailed his body to it with seventy 
nails, and poured sulphur and pitch over it, and then set fire to 
it and made it blaze; so the righteous man yielded up his spirit; 
and his bones and his flesh were burned to ashes. Then Da- 
dianus made them take his ashes up to a high mountain called

Asurion, and they scattered them on the mountain to the winds. 
And when the attendants had turned back and were coming to 
the city, suddenly there were thunders and lightnings and a 
mighty earthquake so that the earth shook to its foundations. 
And behold, our Lord Jesus Christ came upon a cloud of light 
vith all His holy angels praising Him; and He commanded the 
bur winds of the earth to gather together the dust of the body 
3f Saint George. And He cried out with a divine voice, saying, 
'George, My servant and My beloved, rise up from the place where [135] 
fchou liest, for it is I who command thee;" and straightway the 
blessed man arose like a bridegroom coming forth from his 
chamber. And the Lord embraced him, and gave him the salu- 
tation of peace and went up to heaven in glory. 

Then the blessed George ran after the soldiers, saying, "Wait 
a little for me, my brethren, that I may come with you to 
these godless governors." "When the soldiers saw him, they feared 
and marvelled and said with one voice, "0 our Lord Jesus Christ, 
Thou art a mighty God; for Thy holy name's sake, Lord, 
Thou hast raised up alive again the man 1 who was burnt to ashes 
which were driven hither and thither by the winds." And they 
cast themselves down and worshipped Saint George, saying, 
"Master, 1 give us the seal of Christ." When the blessed George 
[saw their faith] he commanded and there welled up a fountain 
of exceeding sweet water, and he prayed, and John the Evangelist 
came and baptised the ten (or twenty) soldiers; and the Evan- 
gelist blessed Saint George and the soldiers and disappeared 
from them. 

Then Saint George and the soldiers came together to the 
governors, and they cried out, saying, "Be ashamed, godless 
governors, for behold Jesus Christ our Lord and God has raised [136] 
up from the dead George whom ye scattered to the winds, and 
for this reason we all now believe on Him and are His soldiers." 
When the governors saw Saint George standing there they mar- 
velled greatly and commanded to take him to prison until they

had decided what to do with him, As for the soldiers, they gave 
Klekon and his three brothers, Lasiri and Dionysius and Joseph, 
to the wild beasts and they consummated their martyrdom; and 
they took off the heads [of the others] with the sword, and thus 
they consummated their martyrdom and received the imperishable 
crown on the second day of Pashons; 1 may their holy blessing 
be with us all for evermore, Amen. 

After these things the governors commanded them to bring 
Saint George to them secretly that the multitude might not see 
that he was alive and despise them. When they had brought 
him they said to him, "George, we know now that thou art a 
mighty magician, and that there is no one like unto thee in all 
the world. But now, accept one hundred pounds of gold and go 
forth from this city secretly and let no one know it, that thou 
mayest escape these tortures and sufferings which thou hast 
suffered." The blessed man answered and said to them, "0 filthy 
dogs, I forsook the great wealth that my parents left me, and 
which amounted to more than twenty thousand pounds of gold 
and forty thousand pounds of silver, my numberless cattle, my 
[137] male and female servants, my many horses, my ships, my large 
vineyards, my olive groves, and my houses beautiful according to 
the opinion of this vain world; I left all these and my mother 
and sisters for the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, and I endured 
all these sufferings at your hands for love of Him Whom I will 
never forsake. And now ye would advise me to take a thousand 
pounds of gold from you and to deny the God of the Christians 
that I might go into the' pit of Amenti, like you who are doomed 
to everlasting fire, and the devil and all his angels, for ever." 
When the lawless governors heard these things they were 
greatly enraged and commanded them to bring a shoemaker and 
his knife, and they cut the skin of his head in pieces ; they 
brought two red-hot nails and drove them into his eyes and they 
thus dug out his two eyeballs ; they tore out his tongue ; and 
they put his feet in wooden fetters and broke his ankle bones

with axes. Then they took him up and laid him in prison while 
there was still a little life in him, and with one accord they went 
their way together. 

And at midnight the Lord came into the prison with His 
loly angels and laid His hand upon his whole body, and healed 
lim and established him. And He said to him, "Be of good 
iheer, My beloved and holy valorous one, for I, and My Good 
Father, and the Holy Spirit are with thee, and the day is drawing [138] 
Align in which thou shalt receive the sceptre of the kingdom and 
the seven crowns incorruptible for ever and ever". When the 
Lord had said these things to him. He embraced him and filled 
him with might, and He went up to heaven in glory and honour. 

When Dadianus the governor rose up on the morrow, he 
said to the soldiers, "Go ye to the prison, and see what has 
become of this Christian sorcerer;" and when they had gone into 
the prison they found the blessed man as if they had not tor- 
tured him at all. And they cast themselves down and worshipped 
him, saying, "We beseech thee, George, our master, to make 
us servants of thy mighty God." And he taught them concern- 
ing Christ, and through him they were worthy of the gift of 
holy baptism. Then they all came with Saint George to the 
governors, saying, "We are Christians and servants of Christ 
Jesus and God". When the multitudes saw Saint George stand- 
ing there without any harm having happened to him, and his 
face shining like the sun, they cried out, saying, "Verily there is 
no God in heaven or earth except the God of George, Jesus 
Christ our Lord and God, and from henceforth we are His". 

Then the lawless governors were greatly ashamed and en- 
raged, and they commanded the soldiers to take them outside 
the city and to behead them with the sword: thus they con- 
summated their martyrdom and received the crown incorruptible 
for ever and ever on the twenty-fifth day of the month Epiphi. 1 [139] 
Now they were two thousand four hundred and eight in number,

besides the eight soldiers who received baptism : may their holy 
blessing be with us all for ever, Amen. 

Verily, my beloved, if I were to try to describe to you all 
the sufferings which Saint George the righteous and valiant soldier 
of Christ endured, time would fail me before I had recounted 
them all, for they are so many. Moreover a man who passed 
seven years in one place while seventy governors and their armies 
sat round him and tortured him is quite without parallel in all 
the world and the borders thereof. Verily I am astonished and 
I cross myself and I marvel greatly, brethren, that I can 
narrate the marvelworthy contests of holy Saint George the 
great luminary, the beloved of God, the valiant man of Christ, 
who stood alone in the whole world, and whom none confessed 
save Christ. Saint George chid all the governors and rulers 
of the world and manifested that the Lord our strength is the 
God of every one. George, my master, by what holy name 
shall I call thee? Shall I call thee 'Prophet' or 'Lawgiver' or 
shall I say 'Apostle' or 'Martyr' or 'Righteous man' ? In very truth 
thou art worthy, beloved of Christ, to be called by all thesenames, 
but if I call thee 'Prophet' thou excellest the Prophets, and if I call 
thee 'Lawgiver' thou art also more excellent than the Lawgivers. 
[140] They sawed Isaiah 1 in twain with a wood saw once for the sake 
of the truth, and he died at once, so likewise with all the saints : 
but they sawed thee, George, my master, with a two-edged 
sword [and they tortured thee] with the wheels, ..and the two- 
edged swords, and the axes, and for the truth's sake thou didst 
die [three] times. Moses the lawgiver saw but a little of the 
glory of God ; but to thee, George, my master, did God speak 
mouth to mouth in glory and honour. The Apostles who were 
twelve and seventy preached in all the world, each in his own 
country, and rebuked those who served idols and turned them 
to Christ: but thou, brilliant star, hast by thyself rebuked the 
idolaters, and governors with their armies and the whole world, 
and hast overthrown them with the fire of heaven, and hast made

THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTDS. 311 

the name of Christ to shine throughout the whole world. Thou art 
nore exalted than all the martyrs together who have manifested 
iorth works, and it is not I who say this but our Lord Jesus 
Christ the King of Kings Who testified concerning thee, saying, 
'0 blessed one, as among those born of women there is none 
ike unto John [the Baptist], so among all the martyrs who have 
)een and shall be, there shall never be any like unto thee forever." 
Thou art more exalted than the righteous by reason of thy 
patient endurance of hungerings and thirstings and imprisonments, 
and of the tortures which have been inflicted on thy body day and [141] 
aight for seven years and especially by reason of the purity of thy 
body. And, Saint George, sun of the truth, verily thou art 
more exalted than all the patriarchs and judges, and, beloved 
of Christ, I beseech thee not to despise the attempt of my feeble 
intelligence to declare thy exalted honour. Of a truth, I know, 
beloved brethren, that neither I, nor the feeble Theodosius, 
nor those who will come after me, will be able to describe this 
valiant soldier of Christ by reason of the great torture which 
he received for seven years at the hands of seventy wild beasts ; 
but, by the will of God, we will go back and complete our 
encomium that we may show you the end of the holy combat of 
the truly blessed man Saint George. 

And it came to pass after these things when the seventy 
governors saw that they had tortured the saint for seven years 
without having vanquished his firm resolve ; and that they had 
slain him three times and that he had risen from the dead, they 
took counsel to take him by flattery : and so they commanded to 
bring the blessed man up to the tribune. And Dadianus the 
governor said to him, "George, I swear by my lord the Sun, and 
the moon, and by all the gods, and by their mother Artemis, 
that I will receive thee to myself like a beloved son and that I 
will give thee everything that thou shalt ask, even to the half of 
my kingdom will I give thee, if only thou wilt listen to me [142] 
as to a father, and wilt worship Apollo once thou shalt become 
second in the kingdom." The righteous man answered and said, 
"Where have these words of thine been until to-day? Behold 



312 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

thou hast tortured me daily, for seven years, and I have three 
times tasted death at thy hands, but my Lord Jesus Christ raised 
me up, and I escaped from the tortures which thou didst inflict 
upon me. If my Saviour but preserve my soul within me I will 
not only die once but thousands of times, and I will never 
hearken to such words as these. Dost thou not know, king, 
that the whole race of the Galileans loves victory? and that they 
will fight against those who fight against them? And behold 
thy words gladden me this day and thy speech greatly per- 
suades me." When Dadianus heard these things he rejoiced 
greatly, and kissed Saint George upon his head. The blessed 
man said to the governor, "Stand away from me, and kiss neither 
me nor my head until I have first worshipped Apollo, and after 
that do unto me what thou pleasest. And now command them 
to take me to the prison until to-morrow, and when to-day has 
gone and the morning has come, let the herald bid every one 
come to see me worship the gods." Then the governor answered 
and said to him, "Nay, far be it from me to throw thee into 
prison, beloved George, and forgive me for all |the sufferings 
[143] which I have inflicted upon thee, for I was ignorant, and receive 
me as a father, and come with me into the palace where Queen 
Alexandra is in her inner chamber." So the governor took him 
in and put him in the room where the Queen was, and came out 
to the governors and sat at meat with them. 

And when the^ evening had come Saint George bowed his 
knees and prayed, saying, "0 Lord God, there is none like unto 
thee among all the gods, thou art the Lord God and there is 
none that can be compared with thee. Why do the heathen cry 
out and the peoples imagine vain things? The governors and 
the rulers of the earth have gathered together and they speak 
against God and against His Christ." 1 The Queen answered and 
said to him, "0 George, my master, who are these governors and 
rulers who are gathered together? and who is the God Whom 
they resist? and Who is His Christ? teach me, George, my

Diaster." And the blessed man opened his mouth and explained 
t) her the deep questions of the Old and New Scriptures, and 
tms taught her to know the Father and the Son and the Holy 
Spirit. He showed her that it was God who had made the 
Leavens, and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the 
5 tars, and all creation, and he showed her that the Lord had made 
man out of the dust of the earth, saying, "Did not God create 
him out of the earth? If He did not, whence did he find bones, 
&nd sinews, and skin, and eyes, and tongue, and throat, and the [1*4] 
senses of hearing, and smelling, and the creation of all these 
^vorks? Did not God make all these things and man out of a 
.clod of earth? And He filled him with understanding and wis- 
dom of the true knowledge of God, and placed him in a paradise 
of joy, and gave him His commandments and His words to keep 
like a god. But the man was disobedient to his God, and his 
enemy persuaded him, and he died with him in sin and went 
down to Amenti with him, but not for ever. When God saw that 
which He had made in the snares of His adversary, for His 
goodness' sake He could not bear it, and He sent His beloved 
Son into the world and by the Holy Spirit He took upon Him- 
self flesh of the spotless Virgin and God-bearer? Mary : and she. 
bore as man, God, perfect, in truth, and He was the only man 
without sin. And they crucified Him upon the cross by His own 
desire and by the good will of the Father and the Holy Spirit, 
and He died for us in the flesh that He might redeem us out 
of the hands of our enemy ; and He returned again to His home 
which is the Paradise of joy. When the adversary, the devil, 
saw that mankind knew the true Creator, God, he entered into 
the governors and rulers of the earth and they made idols and 
called them by the names of images of devils, and they wor>- 
shipped them and forsook God the most High their Creator." [H5]< 
The Queen said to him, "Are not these idols demons, George, 
my master, after God?" The blessed man said to her, "Yes, they 
are foul demons". The Queen said to him, "0 George, my 
master, the governor Dadianus knoweth no God except Apollo: 
and now show me how the Son of God came into the world."

314 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

The blessed man George said, "Hearken unto me, Queen 
Alexandra, and hearken unto David who says, 'Thou that sittest 
upon the cherubim show Thyself, lift up Thy strength and come 
to deliver us,' And again David saith, 'He shall come down 
like rain upon the mown grass', that is to say to the Virgin. 
Listen, Queen, to Habakkuk the prophet, who said, '0 God, 
I heard the noise of Thee and I was afraid 5 and I gave attention 
to Thy words and was speechless ;' now the Holy Spirit spake all 
these things". 1 The Queen said to him, "Master, why did the 
prophet fear when he heard the voice of God, and why was he 
speechless when he considered His works?" The blessed man 
said to her, "Listen, Queen. The prophet was afraid because 
he knew that God would come down from heaven; and he was 
speechless because he knew that He would dwell with men". 
The Queen answered and said to him, "Verily thou speakest well, 
[146] O perfect illuminator; I beseech thee to pray to God for me that 
He may drive away from me the snares of foul idols". The 
blessed George said to her, "Believe in the holy and consub- 
stantial Trinity, and no blemish of idols shall in any wise come 
near to thee". The Queen said, "Master, I believe, but I am 
afraid of this sinful governor and evil beast, for in truth he 
devours the flesh of men and is more lawless than any other man 
living upon earth. And, George, my master, keep this secret 
until I come to thee in the court of Christ the mighty King; 
leave me now to rest myself a little, holy father, and God 
knows that I will cling fast to thee". 

When the morning had come, the evil and lawless governor 
commanded them to bring the blessed man out to him from the 
palace into the temple of the city. And the governor sent to 
him, saying, "Haste thee and come forth to me and worship the 
gods that thou mayest receive great honours from the hands of 
all the governors ; that they may give to thee a kingly sceptre ; 
that my heart may be joyful in thee, exceeding pleasant and 
beloved one ; and that every one may see thee [sacrifice] before 

i Habakkuk iii, 2. 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

ve go in to sit at meat". The blessed man said to him, "Sit 
ihee down with the other governors here until I have sacrificed 
io the gods, and I will return unto thee". And the herald cried 
out with a loud voice saying, "Gather together to-day, all ye 
people, into the temple that ye may see George the mighty [147] 
jalilean worship Apollo the great god". And straightway the 
.vhole city was gathered together, both men and women and 
:hey all marvelled greatly at the blessed George the migthy 
illuminator, and said to one another, "What has happened to the 
righteous man?" When the widow woman [whose son Saint 
George had healed] heard these things about the blessed George, 
she cried out among the whole multitude, saying, "0 George, 
my master, the valiant soldier of Jesus Christ the King, my God, 
thou who hast wrought thousands of miracles and mighty deeds 
in this city ; who hast raised the dead, given light to the blind, 
made the lame to walk, the dumb to speak, and the deaf to 
hear ; who hast cleansed the lepers, and cast out devils, * and hast 
been an enlightener of the whole world ; George, my master, 
who didst make the dried up pieces of wood to bear fruit again; 
who didst come into my house when I was poor, and I became 
exceeding rich, and who when I was wandering turned me to God 
the true Almighty ; wilt thou, after all these things which thou 
hast wrought in the name of Christ, worship Apollo the polluted, 
and put to shame the whole Christian people?" When Saint 
George heard her say these things he rejoiced at the firmness 
of her faith, and he smiled a holy smile at her, and said, "Put [148] 
thy child down upon the ground," and she put him down. The 
saint answered and said to the child, "Christ my God says unto 
thee, 'Arise, come to Me and perform My words' ;" and straight- 
way his ears heard and his legs received strength, and he came 
to Saint George. And Saint George said to him in presence of 
all the multitude, "Go into the temple of Apollo and say to Apollo, 
'0 idol, blind, deaf, senseless and foolish one, come forth, for 
George, the servant of God, called thee' ;" and the little child

went into the temple and spake thus. And straightway the spirit 
which sojourned in the idol cried out, "0 Jesus the Nazarene, 
Thou drawest every thing to Thee. "Why hast Thou now raised 
up this little boy against ine?" And straightway the idol leaped 
down from his pedestal and came to the righteous man George. 
And the saint George said to the idol, "I am not the God of 
the Christians". The demon said to the saint ; "Bear with me 
a little, master, and I will show thee every thing;" and Saint 
George said to him, "Speak". And the spirit said to him, "I 
am the God of the Hellenes and a demon of darkness, but of 
old time, master, I was an angel of God. Through my dis- 

[149] obedience to God, He commanded, and heaven was shut against 
me, and I was cast out from it, and became a devil. And I was 
jealous of mankind, for God took them up to heaven and cast 
me down into the depths of the earth, and therefore I became 
the adversary of mankind and made them to forsake God and 
to worship idols that God might cast them down with us into 
the abyss." Saint George said to him, "0 evil and wicked snarer, 
since thou didst choose darkness of thy own free will, why didst 
thou become an enemy of God's image" ? The spirit said to him 
"I swear by the seven heavens of heaven, and the circle of the 
sun and of the moon, and the orbit of the abyss, if power had 
been granted to me I would have led thee astray. And I go up 
to the gates of heaven, and I listen to the sentence of death 
which comes forth from the mouth of God, and I bring numbers 
of afflictions upon every soul of mankind; and I bring sleep upon 
men and women in church that they may not listen to the words 
of God and deliver themselves from their punishments." Saint 
George said to him, "0 wretched one, thou hast laid hold upon 
me several times, but by the power of my Lord Jesus Christ thou 
didst find nothing of thyself in me ; and now, polluted one, 
receive the punishment which God shall bring upon thee for ever 
and ever." Then Saint George with his foot smote the earth 

[150] which opened yawning down to hell, and he said to the spirit, 
"Go down into the abyss, thou and the idol in which thou 
sojournest, and give speech unto all the souls that thou hast led 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTU8. 317 

Astray from God;" and straightway he went down into the abyss 
before every one, and the earth closed over him. 

Then the righteous man loosed his garments, and went into 
,he temple, and made his way to the idol called Herakles, and 
*aid to him, "0 wicked spirit who inhabitest this temple come 
brth from it, for I am George, and I have come against thee in 
vvrath ;" and straightway all the demons which dwelt in the idols 
disappeared. And Saint George loosed his shoe latchets and 
went against the idols upon their pedestals, and they fell down 
and became as dust, and he trampled upon them all with his 
feet. When the priests saw the destruction in the temple they 
rent their clothes, and went to the governors and showed them 
every thing that had happened. And they were filled with wrath 
and sent servants to bind Saint George, and they brought him to 
the governors with a whole multitude of people following after 
him, all crying out, "We are Christians, and we belong to the 
God of George." Then Dadianus the governor said to Saint 
George, "0 most wicked of all Christians, didst thou not swear 
to me last night, saying, 'I will worship Apollo'?" The righteous 
man said to him, "Go, governor, and bring Apollo to me and 
I will worship him before thee." And again the blessed man said, 
"If thou wilt bring Herakles himself here I will worship him 
before thee". The governor said to him, "Where shall I find 
Apollo or Herakles, for according to what the priests have told 
me thou hast smashed Herakles to pieces and hast sent Apollo 
down into the abyss; and wouldst thou also send me thither 
alive, George?" Saint George said to him, "0 senseless one, 
since thou art persuaded that they were not able to help them- 
selves, how could they deliver thee in the great day of the true 
Judge when every one shall receive according to what he hath 
done?" Then the governor was greatly ashamed, and rose up 
and went into the palace and said to the Queen, "0 Queen 
Alexandra, I suffer much through this race of Christians, but 
sepecially through this magician George." The Queen said to 
him, "Have I not told thee, pestilential flesh devourer, to let 
this race of Christians alone, for the King of heaven is their

God, and He is the God of heaven and earth and will humble 
thy pride straightway." The lawless governor said to her, "I 
think, Queen Alexandra, that the magic of George, who came 

[152] to thee, has entered into thee." And she said to him, "My Lord 
Jesus Christ has called me by the holy calling of George." 
When the lawless governor heard the name of Christ from her 
mouth, he was greatly enraged, and laid hold of her hair, and 
came forth to the governors : and he showed her all the sufferings 
which could be caused by the instruments of torture and brought 
her to the governors and told them everything she had said. 
Then the governors commanded to hang her up naked upon the 
wooden horse, but she held her peace, and her eyes looked up 
to heaven, and she said to Saint George, "0 George, my master, 
pray for me, for I suffer greatly." The righteous man said to 
her, "Bear patiently for a little, Queen, that thou mayest 
receive the incorruptible crown from the hands of my Lord Jesus 
Christ." The Queen said to him, "Master, what shalt I do, for 
I have not received Christian baptism?" The blessed man said 
to her, "Be of good cheer, for thou shall receive baptism in the 
fountain of thine own blood by the stroke of the sword;" and 
they straightway passed the sentence of death upon her, that her 
head was to be cut off by the sword. And when they took her 
out to take off her holy head, she cried out, saying, "Behold I 
have kept open the door of my palace [to Thee], my Lord Jesus 
Christ, open to me the paradise of joy, and receive me to Thy- 
self without shame." And when she had said these things they 

[153] took off her holy head on the fifteenth day of Pharmuthi, 1 and 
she received her crown incorruptible for ever. 

After these things the governors were gathered together to 
Saint George, and said to him, "Behold, George, thou hast 
destroyed the Queen and hast gained an advantage over us." 
Magnentius the governor said to them, "Let us pass the sentence 
of death upon him lest he destroy us all." Then Dadianus the 
governor sat down and wrote the death sentence of the blessed

nan George, saying "George of Melitene, the chief of the Gali- 
leans, hath set behind his back the decrees of the seventy gover- 
nors of the. whole world, the ministers of the victorious gods; 
^e therefore command that his head be taken off with the sword; 
,ind know, ye peoples, that we are guiltless of his blood;" and 
he seventy governors signed the sentence of death. And Saint 
Jreorge took his sentence of death in his holy hands, and came 
brth with gladness, rejoicing greatly. When he came out to the 
place where he was to consummate his martyrdom, he said to 
die soldiers, "Brethren, wait a little for me, that I may pray to 
my God for these seventy lawless governors, who, as ye know, 
have tortured me for seven years." Now the governors had left 
the saint and had prepared a feast, and were rejoicing at the 
death of the blessed man. Then the blessed man looked up to 
heaven and said, "0 my Lord Jesus Christ, who didst make fire 
come from heaven by the words of Thy servant Elijah the Prophet [154] 
and devour the two captains of fifty and their hundred soldiers, send 
down to me, my God, of that same fire that it may devour 
these seventy lawless governors." And while the words were 
yet in his mouth, fire came forth from heaven and devoured the 
seventy lawless governors who held their cups of wine untasted 
in their 'hands; and the fire also devoured the five thousand 
godless soldiers who served them. Now the soldiers who were 
with Saint George knew not of the matter until they had taken 
off his holy head. When the righteous man knew that the fire 
had devoured the impious ones, he bowed his knees, and prayed, 
saying, "0 my Lord and God, the joy of my soul and spirit, the 
Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, hearken unto Thy servant 
George this day, and receive me to Thyself in Thy abundant joy. 
my Lord, I see standing here a mighty multitude who think 
to take my body away with them when I shall soon have con- 
summated my martyrdom. Thou knowest, my Lord, that my 
body will not suffice for the whole world, but hear me, Lord, 
at this present, and grant a favour to my 'name, that through Thee 
there may be salvation and help to all the world; so that Thou, 
Jesus Christ our Lord, together with Thy Good Father, and 



320 THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTUS. 

the Holy and Vivifying Spirit, mayest have the glory which is 
meet for Thee, for ever and ever, Amen." And when he had 
said 'Amen', the whole firmament was filled with the angels of 
the Highest, and our Lord Jesus Christ came to him seated upon 

[155] the Cherubim and Seraphim, and the company of the Prophets 
and the Apostles, and the martyrs, and all the saints, and all 
the hosts of heaven were praising Him ; and all the soldiers who 
were with the blessed man slept, and became as dead men. And 
the Lord said to the blessed George, "Hail, My George! Hail, 
beloved of Myself and of My angels! Hail, champion of the 
kingdom of heaven! Blessed art thou this day, George My 
beloved, for I have made ready for thee seven crowns of glory 
in the hands of My Father, and He will place them upon thy 
head this day. Blessed art thou, My beloved George, for I 
have prepared for thee a royal crown set with gold and pearls 
and I will put it on thy head with My own hands this day. Blessed 
art thou this day, My beloved George, for there is prepared 
for thee a great and exalted throne beautifully set with exceeding 
fine gold and a true priceless stone, and they will seat thee upon 
it this day in the highest heavens by the Holy Ghost. Blessed 
art thou, My beloved George, for the pearly gates of the 
tabernacles of light are open to thee, and thou shalt go into the 
presence of the Holy Trinity and none shall prevent thee. Blessed 
art thou, My beloved George, the valiant one, for My Good 
Father has written thy name upon the chariot of the Holy 
Trinity, that whosoever shall say, "0 God of George, help us, 

[156] hear us," them thou shalt hear straightway. Blessed art thou, 
My beloved George, for thou didst confess My name, and the 
Good Father, and the Holy Ghost, before the governors of the 
whole world, and I will confess thee in heaven where thou shalt 
be in great light. And I say unto thee, My beloved, that 
inasmuch as among all mankind and in the whole world there 
was, for three years, no one able to confess My name, neither 
elder, nor deacon, nor a lay person, except thyself alone, and 
thou didst stand up before the seventy governors of the whole 
world, I swear by My right hand, My beloved one ,that I will

establish a covenant with thee that when thou shalt bow thyself 
upon thy spiritual face in heaven and shalt come with all thy 
congregation to worship the holy Trinity, all the saints shall 
know thee by reason of the honour which I will show thee, O 
My beloved, and they all shall know that thou art George the 
beloved of God, and shall adore thee according to the command 
of My Good Father. And moreover, behold now My beloved, 
1 have joined thy name to Mine that it may be a haven of safety 
throughout the whole world, that every man or woman who shall [157] 
happen to be in danger by judgments, by executioners, by prisons, 
by seas, by waters, or in harbours, or by travelling, by attacks, 
by thieves, by wild beasts, by fire, by lions, by violent death, by 
any necessity, by a multitude of deep afflictions, or in short by 
any afflictions whatever that befall the children of men, and they 
cry up to Me in thy name three times, saying, "0 God of George^ 
help us," I will hear them quickly and will fulfil every thing that 
they shall ask with their heart. The name of every one 1 who 
shall build a martyrium in thy name, or who shall cause a book 
of thy sufferings and thy contests to be placed in a church 
for reading in thy name, will I write in the Book of Life, and 
1 will cause him to be in the same place with thee in my king- 
dom for ever. Whosoever shall make a gift, or an offering of 
first-fruits to the church in thy name, or who shall feed the poor 
in thy name, or the widow on the day of thy glorious comme- 
moration, to him will I give help in this world, and I will make 
him to enjoy with thee the good things of My kingdom. Who- 
soever shall clothe one naked person in thy name, him will I 
clothe with the garments of heaven. Whosoever shall burn a 
lamp in the church in thy name or a little incense, upon him 
will I make My angels shine when he shall come to Me in joy. 
Whosoever shall give thy name to his son in faith, his heart will 
I comfort within him. Whosoever shall receive a stranger in thy 
name, his sins will I forgive him, and I will receive him into My 
kingdom for ever. And I swear to thee by Myself, George

My beloved, as I have already said to thee, so I now say again 
to thee, that among those born of women there is none like unto 
John the Baptist, and that among the company of martyrs there 
shall be none like unto thee, neither among those who have been, 
nor among those who shall be. And now hasten, My beloved, 
and fulfil thy dispensation that I may take thee up with Me upon 
the chariot of the cherubim, and give thee as a gift to My Good 
Father and the Holy Spirit; and all the angels of heaven will 
rejoice with thee, for they are awaiting thee. As concerning thy 
body I will now cause an earthquake to take place that no man 
among these multitudes may take thy body away with him until 
thy servants come to carry it away. And behold, I have already 
taken thy mother, and thy two sisters, and thy bride, who was 
betrothed to thee, to My kingdom before thee that they might 
not see thy death in this world, but that they might see thee, 
and thy father, and thy dear [adopted] father, and the great glory 
which I will give thee in My kingdom in heaven ; and behold, for thy 
sake, I have destroyed the lawless governors of the whole world. 
When thy blood has been poured out upon the ground, the service 
of idols shall cease, and men shall glorify My name throughout 
[159] the whole world. I will cause thy kinsman to build a shrine for 
thee in thy city and to lay thy body in it with honour. And after 
a short time Satan will stir up a persecution against the churches, 
and the blood of thousands of martyrs throughout the whole 
world shall be shed v And when twenty-one years have gone by, 
the impious governor of that time shall take counsel to destroy 
thy holy shrine by reason of the mighty deeds which I will work 
by thee in thy holy shrine. And he will send a general with his 
soldiers to do this thing, but I will cause thee to destroy him 
by an exceeding violent death, even as thou hast destroyed these 
governors, and the persecution shall cease through thee. And I 
will send thee to destroy that impious governor, and I will seat 
another in his place according to the command of My Good 
Father. And he shall build for thee a splendid and beautiful 
shrine, and he shall glorify thy church; and the whole world shall 
serve me in freedom for ever. And I will build thee a multitude 



THE ENCOMIUM OP BISHOP ABBA THEODOTDS. 323 

of shrines throughout the whole world; I will make all the 
nations of the whole world to glorify thee ; I will make thy name 
to fill the whole world ; I will make a multitude of gifts to thy 
shrine; and I will make men to celebrate thy festival in the 
whole world and especially the day of thy commemoration, which 
is the day of the consummation of thy martyrdom. I will make 
all creatures upon earth to enjoy this day; and I will crown the 
fruits of the earth on the day in which thou art crowned; and 
on the day of the dedication to thee of the first-fruits of the 
earth, which is the seventh day of Athor, 1 thy name, My[i60] 
beloved George, My valiant soldier, shall be exalted in heaven 
and glorious upon earth for ever and ever, Amen." And when 
the Lord had said these things to him, He filled him with power 
and joy, and the blessed man rejoiced greatly and exulted, 
saying, "I thank thee, my Lord Jesus, that thou hast honoured 
me more than I deserve;" and the Lord made the sign of the 
cross over him, and disappeared from his sight. Then the holy 
man roused the soldiers, saying, "Come, my brethren, and perform 
that which has been commanded you:" and he straightway 
stretched out his neck and the soldiers took off his holy head, 
and there came forth from it blood and milk. And the Lord 
caused Michael to receive the blood and milk in his garment of light, 
and the Lord received his soul in to His own hands, and embraced 
it, and He 2 wrapped it in the purple of the aether and ascended 
into the heights with it. And the whole firmament was filled 
with the holy angels and the company of the saints, and they 
hymned it until the Lord gave it as a gift to His Good Father 



1 I. e., November 3. According to^the Coptic calendar this is the day 
on which St. George of Alexandria was martyred. Theodotus here seems to 
confuse George of Alexandria with George the Megalo-martyr. This mistake 
has also been made by Ludolf who calls this George && ' rt^YO^T : 'chief 
martyr.' Ludolf, Hist. Aeth. Comment, p. 397, November 3 and note r. 

2 According to Coptic tradition St. George is the only martyr who was 
esteemed worthy of being carried up to heaven by Christ. His task of carrying 
the souls of martyrs up to heaven was usually deputed to an archangel, as in 
the case of Eusebius whose soul was taken up to heaven by Raphael. See 
Hyvernat, Les Actes des Martyres de UEgypte, p. 38.

and the Holy Spirit. And He put upon it a garment of light 
and an excellent diadem of gold set with precious stones, and 

[161] there were seven crowns upon the diadem wreathed with the 
flowers of the tree of life, and the Lord wrote his name with 
the first-born for ever. And He caused the whole company of 
heaven and all the bands of the saints to seat him upon a throne 
and to celebrate a festival with him in the heavenly Jerusalem. 
And after these things there were earthquakes and thunders 
and lightnings and violent rains, and all the people who were 
standing by and the soldiers fled into the city. But Pasikrates 
the servant of Saint George stood outside beside the body of 
his master and wept over him, and there was neither rain nor 
storm in the place where the body of the saint was, but the 
whole place was full of light. Then the two servants of Saint 
George who were in the city, came out to their fellow-servant 
who was outside weeping by the body of their master, and when 
they saw that they had taken off his head, they straightway cast 
themselves down upon him, and worshipped him, and wept ; and 
Apa Pasikrates told them everything that the Lord had said to 
their master, and they were exceeding glad. And they joined 
his holy head to his blessed body, and the head clave to it as 
if it had never been cut off from it; and there was no mark of 
the sword stroke left on it. And his servants said to one another, 
"Verily God hath received our master unto Himself, and He will 
perform for him everything that He hath promised him." Then 

[162] they took the holy body sprinkled with incense and carried it into 
the house which they had hired for the seven years, and there 
was no one in it except themselves, and they hid it there. And 
there was darkness and an earthquake, and the sea rose up over 
the city wishing to submerge it; and the faithful who had heard 
the words of the Lord when He spake with the blessed George, 
cried out, "0 God of George, help us in this need;" and straight- 
way the sea went down and the storm ceased, and the sun came 
forth. And on the morrow the servants of Saint George sought 
after the governors, and when they found that the Lord had 
destroyed them there was great joy throughout the whole world, 



THE ENCOMIUM OF BISHOP ABBA THEODOTU8. 325 

and they opened the doors of the churches again everywhere. 
r .Lhen the servants of Saint George bought exceeding fine nap- 
i:ins and very precious incense, and they carefully prepared the 
)ody of their lord for burial, and carried it secretly through the 
oity, and laid it in a ship, and brought it to Diospolis together 
vith the account of his sufferings. And they found that the 
-elatives of Saint George had gone to their rest in God. Now 
:here was there a man called Andrew, the brother of Saint 
George's mother, and he received the body of the saint into his 
house rejoicing greatly. And the whole city was gathered together 
and they built a shrine to him in Saint George's own house, and [163] 
they sent to Jerusalem and brought the Archbishop, Abba 
Theodosius, who consecrated it on the seventh day of the month 
Athor, and they laid his holy remains in it. And on this same 
day, that is to say, the seventh day of the month Athor, they 
celebrated the holy sacrifice of the holy body and glorious blood 
of our Lord Jesus Christ; and many signs and miracles took 
place in the holy shrine of Saint George. And Saint George 
came down from heaven according to the command of the Lord, 
and destroyed Euchios the general, and plucked out the eyes of 
Diocletian, and drove him forth from the palace, and set Constantine 
the emperor on the throne in his stead. And Constantine opened 
the churches throughout the whole world ; he threw open the prison 
doors; he manifested forth the Cross; he confirmed the orthodox 
faith; he built the Church of the Resurrection of our Lord in 
Jerusalem and many churches throughout the whole world. And 
he went into the shrine of the Church of the Resurrection, 1 and 
prayed there, and he went into the shrine of Saint George with 
his mother Helena, and his sister Eudoxia, and Saint George 
appeared to him by night, and told him what he should do. And 
he built the holy shrine of Saint George in Diospolis, which 
formerly was small, and made it beautiful, and it is that in which [164] 
the many signs and mighty deeds which are written in other

books than this took place. And they glorified God and His 
holy martyr Saint George, who consummated his strife on the 
twenty-third of the month Pharmuthi at the ninth hour of the 
day of preparation, and all those who were martyred through 
Saint George, being twenty-eight thousand six hundred and eighty, 
and Alexandra the Queen, and they received the incorruptible 
crown through our Lord Jesus Christ, and they now delight 
themselves with Saint George in Jerusalem the city of all the 
saints. 

And behold now, [my brethren] we have hitherto only made 
known to you concerning the sufferings and the honourworthy 
strife which Saint George the victorious warrior of our Lord 
Jesus Christ endured patiently; but let us now consider the 
exalted honours which he received in heaven through our Lord 
Jesus Christ. Hear then, beloved, what I the feeble Theodotus, 
have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears. 

It came to pass in the time of the God -loving emperor 
Theodosius of glorious memory that on the first day of his reign 
he saw a marvellous thing, 1 he saw Saint George come from 
heaven with great glory and the archangel [Michael] with him, 
and he seated the God -loving emperor Theodosius upon the 
[165] throne of the Greeks, and his faith within him was strong in 
Saint George all the time [of his rule]. And when he had 
reigned twenty years he built a large church to the name of 
Saint George 2 , and he gathered together all the Bishops to the 
consecration of the church of Saint George, and he sent for all 
the Bishops and even for my feeble self, a weak old man. And 
when we had consecrated the holy church in the name of God 
and of Saint George, the precentor (?) sang the Psalms in their 
proper order, and the emperor and his nobles and the whole

2 I have not been able to find any mention of the building of a church 
to St. George by Theodosius; but Constantine built a church to him at Lydda 
and another at Constantinople. See Acta Sanctorum Apl. 23, p. iii, col. i, 
and Tillemont, Memoir es, v. p. 185.

city were with us. And after the emperor and the whole multi- 
tude had sat down, he commanded the martyrdom of Saint 
Ueorge to be read, for that day was the twenty-third ef Phar- 
lauthi, and we listened breathlessly. But when the reader came 
lo that place where God testified to Saint George, saying, "There 
is none like unto thee among all the martyrs, neither shall there 
')e any like unto thee for ever," the subject puzzled me, and I 
;aid, "Since so many generals and eparchs and governors of 
this world have forsaken all the glory of this world, and their 
:-ank, and wealth, and have died for the name of our Lord Jesus 
Ohrist under the impious and lawless emperor Diocletian, hou 
can this holy martyr be more exalted than they all? When we[i66] 
had celebrated the Holy Communion and the evening had come, 
we lighted a lamp for the emperor, and lay down to sleep, and 
neither the emperor nor any of the others did eat, but he slept 
with us in the holy church. Now it was the evening of the 
Lord's day, for the consecration of the church took place on the 
Sabbath day. And when the night had come and we had, as 
was meet, performed the office for the night, and had said, 
'Amen', we sat down to speak of the mightiness of God, and the 
emperor came with us. And one of our fathers, a Bishop, 1 was 
taken up to heaven in a vision, and he saw most exalted mysteries 
the which it is not lawful for an earthly being to utter. He 
said, "I saw that I was standing before the throne of the Father, and 
I saw thousands of thousands, and myriads of myriads praising the 
holy Trinity, and coming in bands, and they worshipped God, 
and glorified Him, and blessed Him, and made their requests, 
and afterwards they stood in rows, and no earthly creature could 
describe the glory and the great honour which they had received 
from the Trinity. And I saw one coming forth from within the 
veil like unto a king wearing a diadem of gold with seven crowns 
upon it, and he was riding upon a white horse, 2 and he was many

times brighter than the sun, and was equipped with sword and 
armour and the apparel of a king; in short his kingly dignity 

[167] was immeasurable. And when he came forth a mighty multitude 
followed him on this side and on that, and I saw all the saints 
bowing down before him, and when I looked I was speechless, 
and I wished to know who he was. And I looked on my right 
hand and I saw a monk standing having wings like an angel of 
God, and he wore a kingly crown and raiment the like of which 
there is not among the kingdoms of the world, and he had a 
golden staff in his right hand, and his face was full of joy, and 
great glory surrounded him. And I besought him, saying, 'My 
father, I beseech thee to show me who thou art that art in 
such honour as this.' And he embraced me and said to me, 'I 
am Paul 1 of Tamma, and well hast thou come, shepherd of 
our true King, our Lord Jesus Christ;' and when he had said 
these things to me I rejoiced that I had found freedom of speech 
before him. And I said to him, '0 master, my holy father, 
inasmuch as thou hast deemed me worthy of thy holy salutation, 
I beseech thee to tell me who is this great king that has just 
come, to whom all this multitude has bowed the knee?' Then 
the blessed man's mouth broke into a spiritual smile and he 
said to me, 'Knowest thou not who this is?' And I said to him, 

[168] <0 father, how should I know who this is since I have never 
seen him before?' He answered and said to me, 'I have been 
sent to thee to make thee certain jof the things which thou didst 
ponder over in thy heart yesterday in the church concerning

Saint George, the beloved of God, the chosen martyr exalted 
above all the saints according to the words of our Saviour. Tin 
works of every soul which comes forth from the body, whether 
of righteous men or whether of sinners, are manifested forth on 
the spiritual 1 tablet and the soul is in its presence always, and 
its deeds are written upon it. When it pleased my Lord 
Jesus Christ to take me, His servant, to my rest and to visit 
me, I came forth from the world, and He esteemed me worthy 
of His goodness, and He brought me into His city, and I saw 
this being whom thou hast seen. And he had on this royal 
diadem with seven crowns above it, and I looked upon it and read 
the writing which was written upon it, which said, 'I am George 
of Melitene, from Diospolis, who died three times for the name 
of our Lord Jesus Christ,' and I saw all the saints bowing their 
knees before him. Now I had endured many sufferings for the 
name of our Lord Jesus Christ and died four 2 times, and I said 
within myself, 'Behold, I am equal to him in honour,' and I 
refrained from bending the knee to him. And straightway, in a 
moment, He who knows the hearts of all men sent the Archangel [169] 
Michael to me who said, '0 excellent Paul, why hast thou not 
taken part in the spiritual salutation according to the command 
of the Almighty?' and I told him what was in my heart. Then 
he took me immediately to the holy Apa Noub the confessor, 
who had been both a monk and a martyr, and he showed him 
the command of God. The holy confessor said to me, '0 Paul 
my holy father, go and perform the command of God, and say 
not, I have suffered like the mighty George, for thou, of thine 
own free will, [didst suffer] greatly; bat that just man did for 
God's sake suffer by axes, by double edged hatchets, by saws, 
by nails, by fire, by two edged swords, and by the mouths of 
wild beasts. And I say unto thee, my beloved one, that when

the attendant cometh and sayeth unto thee, 'The Lord calleth 
for thee, come,' is not thy going better than seventy years of a 
monk's life in his cell?' When I heard these things I changed 
my mind through the words of the archangel and the holy man, 
and I said, 'Forgive me'; and they rejoiced with me, and I went 
to the holy martyr of Christ and straightway made obeisance 
before him. [And the holy man said], <0 faithful shepherd of Christ, 
console thyself, for there is no one like unto thyself among the martyrs 

[170] who are crowned [except] Saint George himself.' And while the 
holy man (Paul of Tamma) was talking with me, Saint George 
the soldier of Christ came up to me with his face beaming with 
rays of light, and he saluted me and filled me with joy and 
gladness, and said to me, 'When thou goest to thy city Ancyra, 
build thou a temple to me in it, that I may come and dwell 
with thee, for it will be one hundred and five months before 
thou shalt come to me in this holy city.' When he had said 
these things to me I rose up straightway from my vision." When 
the emperor and the twelve Bishops saw the radiant face of that 
Bishop they knew that he had seen a revelation, and they 
entreated him to tell them what he had seen. And he, as his 
mind came to him, told them all the vision he had seen, and 
they marvelled greatly, and glorified God and the holy martyr 
Saint George. And the emperor answered and said, "On the 
day when God seated me, unworthy though I be, upon the Roman 
throne, I saw with* my sinful eyes, Saint George with glorious 
visage come from heaven holding a sceptre of gold in his right 
hand, and the archangel Michael was with him. And I saw a 
diadem of gold and seven crowns upon his head, and he shone 
a thousand times brighter than the sun, and he came to me filled 
with joy, and took hold of me, and seated me upon the imperial 

[171] throne, and a number of the nobles of the army saw him face 
to face. And I saw him again in his holy church and he showed 
me things that would do good to my soul." Now when I (Theo- 
dotus) heard these things, I blessed my Lord Jesus and His 
holy martyrs. After these things that Bishop went to his city

George, and consecrated it with his own hands before he came 
out of the body. Now that Bishop was one of the three hundred 
and eighteen Bishops that were gathered together in Nicea ; * 
and he filled the office of Bishop for seventy-five years, and he 
died in God when he was one hundred and eighteen years old. 
Behold now, beloved brethren, we have told you these 
things of the great honours which God has vouchsafed to the 
valiant soldier of strength, the mighty athlete, Saint George, 
whose festival is celebrated this day throughout all earth and heaven, 
and of the remainder of his glory and of the mighty and exalted 
honour he holds in the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of Christ 
the King. And now beloved, blessed of God, since we know 
of a truth that Saint George has drawn nigh to God in this 
manner and has obtained freedom to enter into the presence of 
the Holy Trinity at all times and to show favour to every one, 
let us make ourselves champions, through love, of our poor brethren 
and strangers; let us love one another, let us keep innocence, 
and it shall come to pass to all of us, beloved, that Saint 
George will, through our Lord Jesus Christ, show favour to us, 
and have compassion upon us, and forgive us our sins, and bless [172] 
the gathering together of our people, small and great, old men 
and young men, and widows and virgins. And, finally, may He 
bless him that took the charge of preparing this book and of 
finishing it in true suffering through Jesus Christ our Lord, to 
whom be the glory meet for Him and His Good Father, and the 
Holy, and vivifying, and consubstantial Spirit, (who are) with 
Him, now and always and to eternity of all eternities, Amen.
