Nilus of Ancyra→Aphthonius|c. 415 AD|nilus ancyra|From Ancyra|AI-assisted
To Aphthonius the Tabularius [a public registrar and keeper of records].
Demons, on the one hand, bring on thoughts of terror and cowardice; but the mind itself also frequently gives birth to certain disturbances, and fears, and alarms. The Savior heals both of these, He who cures every disease and every affliction most easily, provided that He is entreated with prayers, and with good works, and with the reading of the more divine oracles [the divine Scriptures], and with the invocation of the honored name of Jesus, joined with sleepless vigil.
