Facra, 1685, by Wake, 1686, and by Basnage,1687. The Jesuit Harduin published the epistlein 1689, accepting it as Chrysostom’s, and vindi-cating the consistency of its doctrine with thatof his church. It is accepted as genuine byTillemont and Du Pin. The genuineness wasfirst assailed by Le Quien (1712) in the prefaceto his edition of John of Damascus, and his argu-ments were adopted and enlarged by Montfaucon.Maffei found a Greek fragment also at Florence,professing to be from Chrysostom, the firstsentence of which is identical with one in thisletter, but proceeding to illustrate its doctrineby two similes not found in the Latin. Theextract was printed by Basnage in Canisius’sLectiones Antiquae , Antwerp, 1725, pp. 283-7.It is natural to conjecture that the second para-graph is taken from a different 1 work, but theMS. gives no indication of a change of author.Perhaps the Latin does not represent the wholeof the letter.

Against the genuineness it is urged that Caesa-rius is not mentioned elsewhere by Chrysostom,though the letter implies that they had beenintimate from youth; that the style (if it befair to judge when so little of the Greek hasbeen preserved) is rugged and abrupt, and thetone more scholastic than is common with Chry-sostom ; that though quoted as Chrysostom’s byseveral Greek authors, the earliest of these isscarcely earlier than the 7th century, and yetwe should expect it to have been used in theKutychian disputes, and quoted in the Acts ofthe 4th, 5th and 6th Councils. Le Quien alsourged that language is used which is not heardof until employed by Cyril of Alexandria in con-troversy with Nestorius. Montfaucon, however,has produced precedents for much of this lan-guage from Athanasius, and he has clearly provedthat the letter was directed not against Euty-chianism, but against Apollinarianism; and withmuch probability he identifies the work assailedwith a work of Apollinarius quoted by Eulogius(ap. Photium, Cod. 230, p. 849). This being so,we are more inclined to accept the letter aswritten while the Apollinarian disputes wereraging than, as Montfaucon conjectures, forged acentury or two afterwards for the purpose ofbeing used in the Eutychian controversy, sinceone of the arguments against the genuineness isthat there is no evidence that it ever was soused.

On the controversy as to the genuineness, seethe authorities referred to by Fabricius, Bibl.Or., ed. Harles, i. 699; Chrys. iii. 747-760, andxiii. 496, ed. Migne ; iii. 736-746, ed. Montfau-con ; Tillemont vii. 629, and xi. 340-343 ; Routh,Opuscula , ii. (479-488). [E. V.]

CAETI (Caoide, Coeddi, Caideus, Cai-docus, Ceti). — Oct. 24. The Mart. Boneg.gives two entries of saints under these namesat Oct. 24 and 25, and there are five in-sertions of Caoide’s name in different parts ofthe Brussels MS. (See Dr. Reeves’s note in Mart.Boneg. by Todd and Reeves, 285.) The table ofthe Martyrology (ibid, 375) identifies these namesas belonging to one person, but it seems moreprobable that one name under these differentCeltic and Latin forms belongs to at least twoindividuals. Colgan ( Acta S3, 162 n. 2 ) givesthem as distinct.

CAETI (1), Caeti, Caette, or Coeddi, a bishopat Iona, whom Colgan calls Caideus and Caidi-nus, died according to the Four Masters in a.i>.710, but other authorities give 711 and 712,the latter being probably the true date. He iscommemorated on Oct. 24 (Lanigan, Feel. Fist.Ir. iii. 153 ; Reeves, Adamnan , 380).

( 2 ) Caoide, Caideus, or Caidocus—Oct. 25. Hewas abbat of Domnach Caoide at the Dannaidfoot in Tir-Eoghain, that is, “the church ofCaoide,” now Donaghedy, in the north of Tyrone,and bordering on Londonderry. [J. G.]

CAIAN, Welsh saint of the 5th century,patron of Tregaian, a chapel under Llangefui inAnglesey; commemorated on Sept. 25 (Rees,Welsh Saints, 146). [C. H.]

CAIANI. [Cainites.]

CAIANUS. [Gaianus, Caius (10).]

CAIDOCUS, apostle of the Morini—Jan. 24.Of this saint there is a short memoir by Colgan(Acta SS. 161, quoting from Alcuin’s Life of St.Richarius ; Jac. Malbrancus, de Mvrinis , ii. c. 55 ;Hugo Menard, in App. ad Mart. Benedict, p. 136).Of the many disciples of St. Columbanus andcompanions of his journey, not the lowest placebelongs to St. Caidocus, the priest and apostle o*the Morini. He and an associate, Fricoreus orAdrian,-seem first to have gone to Lower Ger-many to teach the Gospel, but being driven fromthat country, they came into the region of Pon-thieu in Picardy, in the reign of king Dagobert,who ascended the throne in a.d. 622. Thereagain being badly received and roughly treatedby the rustics, they were on the point of givingup their mission, when a young nobleman namedRicharius delivered them from their enemies, re-ceived them into his house, and had the gladtidings of the Gospel blessed to his own soul.Under the direction of St. Caidocus and St. Fri-coreus he retired from the world, distributedpart of his wealth among the poor, and with theremainder founded the monastery of Centula,where St. Caidocus spent the rest of his days,and at his death was buried, about a.d. 640,within the precincts of the monastery. But inhis account of St. Caidocus, Lanigan (Fed. Fid.Ir. ii. 442-5) points to the chronological diffi-culty of his being a companion of St. Columbanus,and yet coming into Picardy in the reign of kingDagobert. St. Caidocus therefore and his com-panion must either have spent a good manyyears in Lower Germany, if they left Irelandwith St. Columbanus, or they, like so manyothers, merely followed his example after hisdeath and forsook the land of their birth to evan-gelize the present France and Germany (O’Conor,Rer. Fib. Script iv. 187). [J. G.]
