having come to their own country, they received famine and plague as the reward for their impiety, receiving what they had done. But Dalmatius the Caesar was killed by the soldiers immediately after the death of the great Constantine, not because Constantius ordered the slaughter, but because he did not prevent it. 2. 36. 8. 19. 4. 9. 3. In the same year, when the younger Dalmatius was killed by the soldiers, Gallus and Julian, the sons of Constantius, the brother of Constantine the great, were also about to be killed. but illness saved Gallus, and his infancy saved Julian; for he was eight years old. But Constantius, who had previously accepted the homoousion, later changed his mind through fickleness of opinion and the deceit of the Arian presbyter and of Eusebius, the chief of the eunuchs, and of Eusebius of Nicomedia and those around them.

In this year Constantine, the son of the great Constantine, having attacked the territories of Constans, his own brother, and joined battle, was killed by the soldiers. and Constans alone ruled all the western land. But Constantius, ruling the east, handed over Gallus and Julian to be educated in a place called Demacelle 36, which was near Caesarea of Cappadocia. These two brothers became lectors and were eager to build a church to the holy martyr Mamas. But in the part where Julian had the lot to build, the earth would not accept it. And having had his hair cut, he feigned monastic discipline. Constantius and Constans legislated that a Jew should not buy a slave, since he would be taken for the public account; and if he should dare to circumcise a slave, he would be punished by the sword and have his property confiscated. 4. 38. 10. 21. 6. 11. 5.

In this year, a synod of 190 bishops having been held in Antioch, which Eusebius of Nicomedia led, they appointed Eusebius of Emesa as bishop of Alexandria. When he was not accepted, although he was a Sabellian, they sent Gregory the Arian with a large army and a certain general, Syrianus, to expel Athanasius from the throne of Alexandria, or even to kill him. Then Athanasius, having planned wisely by God's help, went out with the cantors of the church and escaped the impending death. And as for Eusebius, who was not accepted by those in Alexandria ......... the same men alter the faith, openly accepting Arius even after his death; and having written a second exposition of faith, they passed over the homoousion in silence. Then they performed the dedication of the church of Antioch, which Constantine the great had built. In the same year Antioch was in danger from great earthquakes for three days. The dedicated church was spherical, built in six years, founded by Constantine the great, but completed and dedicated by Constantius. 37 Year of the world 5834. Year of the divine incarnation 334.
