She was dressed to go to church, and after expressing her delight at the honor done to herself and her whole household by the prelate's visit, she invited Orion to accompany her. Though he had proposed devoting the next few hours to a different purpose, the dutiful son at once acceded to this wish; he helped her into her chariot, bid the driver go slowly, and seated himself by her side.
Besides the ecclesiastical members of the council, Cynegius, the Imperial legate Evagrius, the Prefect and Romanus, the commander-in-chief and Comes of Egypt, had all been present.
