[Footnote 8: Euseb. Hist. Eccles. l. i. c. 13. The learned
Assemannus has brought up the collateral aid of three
Syrians, St. Ephrem, Josua Stylites, and James bishop of
Sarug; but I do not find any notice of the Syriac original
or the archives of Edessa, (Bibliot. Orient. tom. i. p. 318,
420, 554;) their vague belief is probably derived from the
Greeks.]
