Note 328 — Chapter XII
Reading edition
Called κυριακὴ τῆς ἐπισωζομένης, this last word being the name of Ascension Day among the Cappadocians, possibly because Christ’s work on earth for man’s redemption was completed by his return into heaven. (Vide Leo Allatius, quoted in Suicer, Thesaur., sub verbo “Episozomene,” and Bingham, Antiq. b. xx. sect. 5.)
