is called in Hebrew _Caphtor_. Cappadocia joined Galatia on
the east, and is mentioned in Acts ii, 9, and by St. Peter, who
addresses his First Epistle to the dispersed throughout Pontus, Galatia,
Cappadocia, Bithynia, and Asia. The people of this country were formerly
infamous for their vices; but after the promulgation of Christianity, it
produced many great and worthy men: among these may be reckoned Gregory
Nazianzen, Gregory Nyssen, and St. Basil, commonly styled the Great.
