called Epi Dryn. A long list of around thirty accusations was drawn up against Chrysostom, which are, for the first ten : 1. He was accused of having whipped and chained a monk named John. 2. He was accused of selling Church property. 3. He was accused of having sold the marble that Nectarios of Constantinople set aside for the church of Saint Anastasius. 4.
