To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The original Greek of this epitaph, thus miraculously inscribed, consists of a number of limping hexameters, and is quoted in full in the life of the saint, as cited above. It gives an account of his holy life, miracles, and journeys. But until recent years the very existence of St. Abercius has been doubted, the whole legend of the Acta Sanctorum has been mocked at, and of course the tale of the epitaph and the block of marble has been treated with due obloquy. "Tillemont, " the historian, "ha...s argued that the life of the saint as written by Metaphrastes is a mere fiction, and that the epitaph is as worthless as the biography. He is much shocked with the levity of the epitaph, for the only incidents of his Roman journey recorded by the saint are his seeing the Empress in her gold robes and shoes, and the people who wore rings, i. E. , the senators and equites. He, therefore, condemns the epitaph as unworthy of a holy and aged bishop, and one about to die. " But leaving this point out of the question, "the arguments of Tille- mont on historical gi'ounds are so weighty that the epitaph could not be quoted as historical, however much one might incline to count it genuine.
