长老

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

我老致书给可爱加约，就我在真理内所爱。

The ephors, Priests to the old gods.

老古代天神祭祀。

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

朱文奴，与该城市指定主教一样，作为一位老（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——老希望以此试验服从，否能毫无偏差地完成老所要做。
