Read a little work by Eunomius,[626] entitled ..., which is a clear
proof of his impiety. It was much admired by his adherents, and the
greatest efforts were made to keep it secret and prevent its becoming
known to others; but the great Basil managed to secure it, and by his
brilliancy and vigour and the force and excellence of his arguments
overthrew and refuted it. It was as if he had taken a Babylonian
child and dashed it against the granite rock of truth, showing that
what was once so much admired was a mere carcase and only deserving
of ridicule.
