Gregory of Nyssa, Against Eunomius (2)

Another treatise of the same Gregory of Nyssa, on the same subject, has been read by me, in which, grappling with Eunomius chiefly by logic, he utterly confutes him, rotting away every stronghold of his impiety. The beauty of his discourse, and its well-tempered brilliance, shine out with sweetness in his case too.

Greek

Ἀνεγνώσθη ἑτέρα πραγματεία τοῦ αὐτοῦ ΓΡΗΓΟΡΙΟΥ ΝΥΣΣΗΣ περὶ τῆς αὐτῆς ὑποθέσεως, ἐν ᾗ λογικώτερον Εὐνομίῳ συμπλακεὶς κατὰ κράτος αἱρεῖ, πάντα σαθρώσας τῆς δυσσεβείας αὐτοῦ τὰ ὀχυρώματα. τὸ δὲ κάλλος τοῦ λόγου καὶ ἡ σύγκρατος λαμπρότης γλυκύτητί τε κατ' αὐτὸν διαπρεπῶς ἐπιδείκνυται.
