Ἐπιστολὴ

[Letter] of Julian the Apostate¹ to Porphyry, Supervisor of Accounts.² "The library of George was a very rich and large one, [with books] of all sorts of philosophers and of many historians, and not least there was among them many and miscellaneous books of the Galilaeans.³ Seek out this library, therefore, and take care to send the whole of it to Antioch↗, recognising that it is you who will incur the worst punishment if you do not track it down with the utmost care. [Take care] also to remove the books from those who are objects of even the least suspicion; [use] all [possible] scrutinies, and oaths of every kind, and -- if you are not able to persuade -- by further torturing the domestics compel them to bring everything out into the open."
