260 Inscription in the old character on the [March, 



Again, the propitiation of the converted heretic, and the reproof 

 of the unconverted heretic must- not be (effected) by harsh treatment : 

 but let those who enter into discussion (conciliate them) by 

 restraint of their own passions, and by their mild address. By such and 

 such conciliatory demeanour shall even the unconverted heretics be 

 propitiated. And such conduct increaseth the number of converted 

 heretics, while it disposeth of the unconverted heretic, and effecteth a 

 revolution of opinion in him. And (he) encourageth the converted 

 heretic, while he disposeth completely of the unconverted heretic, whoso- 

 ever propitiateth the converted heretic, or reproveth the unconverted 

 heretic, by the pecuniary support of the converted heretic. Moreover 

 we thus stimulate materially the converted heretic. And whoso, again, 

 doth so, he purineth in the most effectual manner the heretic ; and 

 of himself such an act is his very breath, and his well-being. 



Moreover ' hear ye the religion of the faithful and attend thereto ;' 

 even such is the desire, the act, the hope of the beloved of the gods, 

 that all unbelievers may speedily be purified, and brought unto con- 

 tentment speedily. 



Furthermore from place to place this most gracious sentiment should 

 be repeated : —
