长老

The ephors, Priests to the old gods.

五长老是古代天神祭祀。

1 1 The Presbyter to the beloved Gaius whom I love in truth.

我长老致书给可加约，就是我在真理内所。

Coinciding with the appointment of the city's bishop, Juvenal, as Patriarch, Jerusalem was made a patriarchate, joining Rome, Constantinople, Antioch and Alexandria.

文奴，与该城市指定主教一样，作为一位长老（牧师），把耶路撒冷变成了一个牧区，与罗马、君士丁堡、安提俄克和亚历山大城相连。

Possibly the point here is not the sheer quantity but the inner attitude of the Pilgrim: the starets wishes to test his obedience and readiness to fulfil an appointed task without deviation.

也许关键不在于确定数目，而于朝圣者内心态度——长老此试验他服从，看他是否能毫无偏差地完成长老所要他做。
