From Socrates, Theodoret, and other historians: as also from the saint's
works; and his life, written by way of dialogue, with great fidelity, by
his friend and strenuous advocate Palladius, a holy bishop, but a
distinct person from Palladius the bishop of Helenopolis and author of
the Lausiac history, who was then young, and is evidently distinguished
by this writer in many places, as Tillemont, Montfaucon, and Stilting
show against Baillet and others; though also Palladius, bishop of
Helenopolis, exerted himself in defence of St. Chrysostom. Palladius,
author of the Dialogue on the life of St. Chrysostom, was never accused
of Origenism except by those who, at least in the proofs alleged for
this charge, confounded him with the bishop of Helenopolis. F. Stilting
clears also the latter from the charge of Origenism, and answers the
arguments produced by Baronius against him. Comm. Hist. Sec.1, p. 404. The
later Greek panegyrists, George, patriarch of Alexandria, in 620, the
emperor Leo the Wise, in 890, &c., deserve very little notice. See the
life of our saint compiled by Dom Montfaucon. Op. t. 13. And lastly, the
accurate commentary on his life given by F. Stilting the Bollandist, on
the 14th of September, from p. 401 to 709, t. 4.
