II. From an Epistle to the Antinoites.6 In Euseb., Hist. Eccles., book vi. ch. xi.

Narcissus salutes you, who held the episcopate in this district before me, who is now also my colleague and competitor in prayer for you,7 συνεξεταζόμενός μοι διὰ τῶν εὐχῶν. Jerome renders it: Salutat vos Narcissus, qui ante me hic tenuit episcopalem locum et nunc mecum eundem orationibus regit. and who, having now attained to8 ηνυκώς. his hundred and tenth year, unites with me in exhorting you to be of one mind.9 The text gives ὁμοίως ἐμοὶ φρονῆσαι. Several of the codices and also Nicephorus give the better reading, ὁμοίως ἐμοὶ ὁμοφρονῆσαι, which is confirmed by the interpretations of Rufinus and Jerome.
