Does anyone know of a tradition wherein John Chrysostom
commits adultery and murder? In Ambrose of Cori's
_Commentary on the Rule of Saint Augustine_, there is the
following passage:
Iohannis quoque os auri . . . proper elationis verbum in
adulterium et homicidium lapsus admonendo velut quadrupes
per nemora paenientes mutus ingemuit.
I should note that the word I have rendered as "admonendo"
is actually a letter "a" with a dash over it followed by
"modo." It is thus entirely possible that my understanding
of the passage is faulty. Any assistance here would be
most welcome. Thank you.
