Usthazares, under the 10th Persecution, having been Tutor to Sapores King of Persia, and a Professor of Christianity, which afterwards he denied again, yet was again reduced to it by occasion of Simeon the Arch-Bishop of Seleucia; who being led to Prison for Christ, and saluted by Usthazares as he passed by him; the Arch-Bishop cried out against him in great anger for his cowardice in revolting from Christ; whereupon Usthazares wept bitterly, saying, With what Face shall I look for my God who have denied him; when as this Simeon, my old acquaintance, so much disdaineth me for it.
