And here is also such a marvel. At Caesarea Philippi, which the Phoenicians call Paneas, they say that beside the springs there shown, at the foot of the so-called Mount Panion—from which also the Jordan is said to flow forth—on a certain festival day a victim is cast in, and that this, by the power of the demon, marvellously becomes invisible, and that the thing done is a wonder famed among those present. Now Astyrius, being once present at these doings, and seeing the many struck with amazement at the thing, took pity on their error; and then, looking up to heaven, he besought through Christ the God who is over all to refute the people-deceiving demon and to make it cease from the deception of men. And they say that, when he had thus prayed, the victim suddenly floated up upon the springs, and so the marvel vanished from them, no wonder any longer occurring about the place.
