[28]Holy Saturday.
[29]Uninitiated (ἀμύητοι ἦσαν), to speak the language of that day.
[30]Eutropius, the eunuch, the unworthy minister of the emperor, who had attempted to take away the right of asylum from the Church, fell suddenly, and fled for refuge to the altar of the cathedral. On this occasion Chrysostom defended him from the angry people and the soldiers sent to apprehend him.
