Epistle of Theonas

Theonas of Alexandria

Chapter 5

About this work

Author: Theonas of Alexandria

V.

Nor will the diligence and care of that servant

‹ Chapter 4 Chapter 6 ›

be

less

who

has

the

custody

of

the

robes

and

imperial

ornaments

.

All

these

he

should

enter

in

a

most

exact

catalogue

,

and

he

should

keep

a

note

of

what

they

are

and

of

what

sort

,

and

in

what

places

stored

,

and

when

he

received

them

,

and

from

whom

,

and

whether

they

are

soiled

or

unsoiled

.

All

these

things

he

should

keep

in

his

diligence

;

he

should

often

review

again

,

and

he

should

often

go

over

them

that

they

may

be

the

more

readily

known

again

.

All

these

he

should

have

at

hand

,

and

all

in

readiness

;

and

he

should

always

give

the

clearest

information

on

every

matter

on

which

it

is

sought

,

to

his

prince

or

his

superior

,

whenever

they

ask

about

any

thing

;

and

all

this

at

the

same

time

in

such

wise

that

every

thing

may

be

done

in

humility

and

cheerful

patience

,

and

that

the

name

of

Christ

may

be

praised

even

in

a

small

matter

.
