Translation: [Gregory,] bishop of Nyssa,[1] brother of Basil of
Caesarea,[2] was also himself a most famous man; though well versed in all aspects of culture he gained especially the attachment of those who take delight in eloquence. He was indeed of high repute in this art and brilliant among those who practiced it in those days. This man also composed a fine
Oration against Eunomius, [3] a marvellous book
On the Making of Man as well as a host of diverse homilies:
On the Song of Songs and
On Ecclesiastes; for his sister Macrina he also composed a long and brilliant exposition
on the soul. But he has written many things, including a wondrous
oration of praise for Stephen, the first of the martyrs. And he composed a
Life of Gregory who became famous for miracles.[4]
