the votes for death, before the one condemned should lose his life by the sword. And it happened as they had striven for. For this reason Julian also later, having girded himself with the power of the empire, exacted the penalty from Eusebius and those with him for the lawless act concerning his brother. 4.2 However, Constantius, considering the weight of his rule and that he was not able to bear it alone, having summoned Julian the brother of Gallus from Ionia, appoints him Caesar, having betrothed to him his own sister Helena as his wife, and he sends him out to guard the Gauls; for matters there were greatly disturbed. 4.3 But he himself, having arrived in Sirmium, was spending his time. 4.3 During which time he also brings Liberius the bishop of Rome, who was strongly desired by the Romans, back from exile and gives him back to those who had asked for him. And at that time, he says that Liberius also signed against the homoousion and indeed also against Athanasius, and likewise also the bishop Hosius, a certain synod having been convened there and having drawn them into unanimity; and when they had signed, [he allowed] Hosius to return to his own parish of Corduba in Spain and to rule his throne, and Liberius the church of the Romans. But Felix, who had been appointed bishop of Rome in the meantime, retired by himself, bearing the dignity of the episcopate, but not presiding over any church. 4.4 That, when Leontius the bishop of Antioch died, he says, those of the same opinion, having transferred Eudoxius from Germanicia, place him on the throne. But he was of the Arian opinion, however from the writings of Asterius he had been brought over to "like in substance." But his fellow heretics, referring him back, led him to the "different in substance" [doctrine]. And while Philostorgius describes Eudoxius as gentle and orderly in character and clever in other things, he slanders him for extreme cowardice; and that the city of Arabissus in Lesser Armenia was the fatherland of his father (his name was Caesarius), and that although being overcome by the pleasures relating to women, he nonetheless endured a martyr's death, as a purification of his pollutions and also bringing him athletic crowns. 4.5 That, he says, Eudoxius appoints Eunomius to the diaconate; but he, before he [Eudoxius] had ascended to the most exact point of the doctrine, does not accept the ministry. 4.6 That, he says, when Antioch was entrusted to Eudoxius, Basil of Ancyra was displeased; for he himself had his gaze fixed on it, supported by his opinion. 4.7 That, he says, when the wife of Constantius was seized by the affliction of metromania, and Constantius hung upon her desires, he came under necessity to recall Theophilus from exile; for he was famed to be a healer of afflictions by divine power. And when he had arrived, [Constantius] both asked forgiveness for the ways he had sinned against him and earnestly beseeched him for the healing of his wife, and did not fail, as he says, in his request. For when Theophilus placed his propitiatory hands upon her, the woman was delivered from her affliction. 4.8 That, he says, Basil, taking with him Eustathius of Sebasteia and other leaders of the churches, slanders especially Aetius and then also Eudoxius to the emperor, both fabricating other things about them and that they were initiates and partakers of the rebellion of Gallus, including Theophilus also in the slanders against them. And he, having been persuaded, and especially through the women (for Basil and his party had won them over beforehand to his own opinion), upon Theophilus imposes the penalty of living in exile in Heraclea in Pontus, and that Eudoxius, having departed from Antioch, should remain at home, and Aetius and certain others with them he gives into the power of their slanderers. And Basil and his party happened to have also discussed the faith in the presence of the emperor, in which discussions it was clearly stated that the Son is like the Father in all things, but no mention of substance, not even by name, was introduced at all in the other words. and this opinion they strove to confirm both by the judgment of a synod and by signatures. And not long after Eunomius also, of the reputation of the
