The details are in the James Keith Elliott book, p. 120.

Lastly, I have informed by the Venerable Priest Constantius, of this place, who is also a compatriot of Mr. Simonides, that when the latter came here five or six years ago, he neither visited the holy Mount Sinai, nor Upper Egypt. - Amphilocius, Oct 5, 1863

So Constantius was a compatriot of Simonides, and knew where he went even in the 1850s. After Simonides visited Constantius, apparently in Alexandria.

This critical tidbit, confirming the connection of Simonides and Constantius, was omitted by Conjurske, McGrane and TNC.

It did not fit their narrative.
