Note 153
From Chapter 21 of the Decline & Fall

See Socrates, l. ii. c. 6, 7, 12, 13, 15, 16,26 27, 38, and Sozomen, l. iii. 3, 4, 7, 9,1. iv. c. 2,21. The acts of St. Paul of Constantinople, of which Photius has made an abstract (Phot. Biblioth. p 1419-l430), are an indifferent copy of these historians; but a modern Greek, who could write the Life of a saint without adding fables and miracles is entitled to some commendation.
