At that same time , at the command of Dioclitian , the porphyry shell was made with " mala et herbacantis" b y the hands of Claudius , Simphorian , Castorius , and Nicostratus ; and their work was brought to the notice of Dioclitian Augustus . And everything
pleased him , and he heaped gifts on Simphorian , Claudius , Castorius , and Nicostratus . Then Dioclitian said : I desire foliated columns with capitals to he hewn from the mountain of porphyry
under the supervision of Claudius , Simphorian , Nicostratus , and Castorius . When the philosophers heard this they were very angry , because the command of Dioclitian was
urgent . But going to the mountain they shaped a part of the stone which was hewn . Then they prayed , and made the sign of the cross of Christ , and the masons superintending and chipping the stone began to hew it at the collar of the
pillar , and worked daily for three months . But when one column was exposed to view , fashioned with wonderful art , the philosophers said to Claudius , Simphorian , Nicostratus , and Simplicius : You who are rich in this
gift ; give your labour to the hewing of another column . Wh y do ye wish to learn the art from us ? the five replying , said : In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ , in whom we trust , we will hew this other pillar as we
did the first one . And giving attention to their task , with great exertions they hewed out another column in twenty-six days . Then the philosophers were angry , and said : These are nothing else but charms of magic art . And sothey took pains in carving
ob-, jects of varied workmanship , and their art served them in good stead , on the plan of those who did nothing by skill of the art of philosophy , but performed exquisite work in the name of Christ . When the philosophers saw this they
made a suggestion to Dioclitian Augustus , saying : Mighty Prince , adorner , of this age , great is the sagacity of your command and clemency in this work of carving the mountain , that the precious stone should he hewn for the wonderful
