[Footnote 76: Baronius gravely relates this discovery, or
rather transmutation, of barrels, not of honey, but of gold,
(Annal. Eccles. A.D. 620, No. 3, &c.) Yet the loan was
arbitrary, since it was collected by soldiers, who were
ordered to leave the patriarch of Alexandria no more than
one hundred pounds of gold. Nicephorus, (p. 11,) two hundred
years afterwards, speaks with ill humor of this
contribution, which the church of Constantinople might still
feel.]
