Timios Prodromos has also published To the Caesareans… on the Internet and is in the process of publishing Scholia on Ecclesiastes on the Internet.

These are new English translations from the original Greek by Fr Theophanes (Constantine).

The Scholia on Ecclesiastes will be posted on the Internet in the near future; however, it's publication has been delayed.

To the Caesareans… is a letter that was until recently ascribed to St Basil the Great. It was listed as Letter 8 of his collected correspondence. The letter is now generally ascribed to Evagrius Ponticus and thought to be written by him when he was Archdeacon of St Gregory the Theologian in Constantinople at the age of 35. The letter contains both a defence of Nicene Orthodoxy, in the form of a commentary on a chain of scripture passages, and further commentary in a more Evagrian vein. The work is considered an important, seminal work for the study of issues related to the orthodoxy or not of Evagrius. Fr Theophanes has now prepared a revision of his original work.

Scholia on Ecclesiastes is a shorter work of scriptural commentary by the mature Evagrius. It is useful in the study of the relation between the doctrines contained in the Kephalaia Gnostica and in Evagrius’ known works of scriptural commentary.
