Death & Dying

Book VIII, 14: On the Same

by Gregory of Nazianzus 4th century AD (Paton’s date)

Translated by W. R. Paton (1916–18) · From The Greek Anthology (Loeb, vol. II, 1917)

Death & Dying

If there was one Moses privileged on the mountain to hear the pure voice, there was also the mind of great Gregory, whom once God’s grace called from afar and made a great high-priest. Now he dwells near the Holy Trinity.
