To Olympius. 1889<br />

Letter XII. 1888<br />

Before you did write me a few words: now not even a few. Your brevity will soon become<br />

silence. Return to your old ways, <strong>and</strong> do not let me have to scold you for your laconic behaviour.<br />

But I shall be glad even of a little letter in token of your great love. Only write to me.<br />

1888 Of the same date as the preceding.<br />

1889 Olympius was an influential friend of Basil’s, <strong>and</strong> sympathized with him in his later troubles, <strong>and</strong> under<br />

the attacks of Eustathius. cf. Letters ccxi., lxiii., lxiv.<br />

To Olympius.<br />
