To Jovinus, Bishop of Perrha.23942394    The mss. vary between Jovinus and Jobinus.  cf. Theodoret, Ecc. Hist. iv. 13.

You owe me a good turn.  For I lent you a kindness, which I ought to get back with interest;—a kind of interest, this, which our Lord does not refuse.  Pay me, then, my friend, by paying me a visit.  So much for the capital; what of the increment?  It is the fact of the visit being paid by you, who are a man as much superior to me, as fathers are better than children.
