Additional Notes on Some Points in St. <strong>Basil</strong>'s Doctrinal <strong>and</strong> Ecclesiastical Position.c’est en Orient que Dieu brilla dans une enveloppe charnelle, 704 ne voudrait il pas, dans l’ordrereligieux, l’union indepéndante, qui, depuis Constantin, rattache, dans l’ordre politique, cesdeux parties du monde Romain? À ses yeux l’Orient et l’Occident ne sont ils pas deux freres,dont les droit sont égaux, sans suprématie, sans ainesse?”In truth <strong>Basil</strong> appealed to Damasus as Theodoret to Leo, <strong>and</strong> as Chrysostom to Innocent,not as vassal to liege lord, but as brother to brother. In <strong>Basil</strong>’s case, even the brotherhoodwas barely recognised, if recognised at all, by the western prelate.704 Ξένον γάρ έστιν, ὡς ὁρῶ, νῦν ἡ δύσις, Καὶ τὸν λογισμὸν, ὡς ἐπαίνετος σκόπει, Δεῖν γὰρ συνάλλεσθαιἡλί& 251· τὰ πράγματα, Εντεῦθεν ἀρχὴν λαμβάνοντ᾽ ὅθεν Θεὸς ῎Ελαμψεν ἡμῖν σαρκικῷ προβλήματι. Greg.Naz., Carm.131
