Works Tertullian (160-220) De ieiunio adversus psychicos Elucidations - On Fasting

II.

(Provinces of Greece, p. 111.)

We have here an interesting hint as to the archaia ethe to which the Council of Nice 1 refers in one of her most important canons. Provinces, synods, and the charges or pastoral letters of the bishops are referred to as established institutions. And note the emphasis given to "Greece" as the mother of churches, and of laws and customs. He looks Eastward, and not by any means to the West, for high examples of the Catholic usages by which he was endeavouring to justify his own.
