[According to Clement of Alexandria, some over- 

 curious persons regarded tlie twenty-ffth day of the 

 Egyptian month Pachon (corresponding to tlie tioen- 

 tieth of the Roman Maius) as the day of tlie birth of 

 Christ. This author adds that the Basilidians com- 

 memorated also the day of his baptism ; which im- 

 plies that Christmas was observed, by that sect at 

 least, as eai'ly as the latter half of the second ceniun-.

Cassian informs us that in Egypt the Nativity and 

 the Baptism were celebrated on the same day under 

 the name of Epiphania. Cassian. Collat. 10, 2 

 Intra Aegypti regiones mos iste antiqua traditione 

 servatur ut peracto Epiphaniorum die, quein provin- 

 ciae illius sacerdotes vel domini baptismi, vel secun- 

 dum carnem nativitatis esse definiunt, et idcirco 

 utriusque sacramenti solemnitatem non bifarie, ut in 

 occiduis provinciis, sed sub una diei hujus festivitate 

 concelebrant, et c. 



In Syria, the Baptism was refen-ed to the thirteenth 

 day of the fourth month, that is, oi January ; October
