of idolatry. Then the Greeks throughout the east, being stirred up, immediately in Alexandria dragged and killed George the bishop, and impiously insulting his remains and placing them on a camel, they paraded them through the city, and mixing his remains with the bones of dead, irrational animals, they burned and scattered them. Then Athanasius, who had been hiding for a long time with a certain virgin, came forth, convened a synod in Alexandria, and having ratified the dogmas of Nicaea, took back the churches. The Arians, after George, appointed Lucius for themselves and gathered in a common house. The Greeks also crucified and slaughtered many other Christians. And having dug up the remains of the holy Patrophilus, the bishop in Scythopolis, they scattered the other parts, but insultingly hung up his skull and mocked it. And in Gaza and Ascalon, killing presbyters and perpetual virgins, they cut open their entrails, and filling them with barley, they threw them to the pigs. And in Phoenicia, the people of Heliopolis, having killed Cyril the deacon, tasted his liver, because he had destroyed their idols during the reign of the blessed Constantine. But the one who cut open the 48 deacon and tasted his liver suffered these things: his tongue rotted and fell out, he lost his teeth, and his eyes were blinded, and thus being tormented he died. To the Christians in Caesarea of Cappadocia Julian showed many evils, and he took away the rights of the city and its name of being called Caesarea, and ordered it to be called Mazaca as before, because the Christians there had done many evils to the Greeks during the reign of Constantius and had torn down the temple of Tyche. And in Arethusa he perpetrated terrible things against the Christians; among them also Mark the most holy monk, who had saved and hidden Julian when the army was killing the family of Constantius, of this man, while living, his entrails .... In Emesa, in the great church, he set up the idol of Dionysus, and destroyed the old church. And Maris of Chalcedon brought many insults against Julian to his face as he was sacrificing in the house of Tyche, but he, as if a philosopher, endured the insults. 2. 60. 10. 3. 8. 36. 4. In this year the impious Julian legislated that Christians should not partake of Greek learning. But Apollinarius, using the divine scripture as his material, imitating the styles of the ancients, and having written a discourse against Julian which he entitled "On behalf of the truth," greatly benefited the church. And he ordered Athanasius the Great of Alexandria to be exiled, since the Greeks were vehemently inciting him against him. But as he was leaving, he told the Christians who were weeping for him to be of good courage, saying: "Take courage, it is a little cloud and will pass over." And Julian wrote to the people of Bostra to expel Titus, the holy bishop of Bostra, from the city. And Dorotheus, the much-suffering bishop of Tyre, who wrote many ecclesiastical histories and excelled in discourses, who had been a confessor under Diocletian and again under Licinius, having reached a deep old age, in the second year of the apostate, his magistrates, finding him living privately in Odesso49 polis, inflicted many tortures upon him for his faith in 49 Christ and put him to death when he was 107 years old. And imitating the good works of the Christians, he ordered that the things necessary should be supplied to hostels for strangers and to the poor, deceiving the more simple-minded. The impious one ordered that Zeus and Ares and Hermes and the other demons be painted together with his own images, and that those who put off venerating them should be punished as enemies of the emperor. And when distributing the donative to the army, he set out fire and frankincense and compelled the army to burn incense. In Caesarea Philippi, which is now Paneas, from where the woman with the issue of blood came, a statue of the Lord stood before her house, which by a gentile

Ἀθανάσιον δὲ τὸν μέγαν Ἀλεξανδρείας ἐξελαθῆναι, ἐκέλευσεν, τῶν Ἑλλήνων σφοδρῶς αὐτὸν παροξυνάντων κατ' αὐτοῦ. ὁ δὲ ἐξερχόμενος θαρρεῖν εἶπε Χριστιανοῖς τοῖς ὑπὲρ αὐτοῦ δακρύουσι φήσας· "θαρσεῖτε, νεφύδριόν ἐστι καὶ παρέρχεται." καὶ Τίτον, τὸν ἱερὸν ἐπίσκοπον Βόστρων, Ἰουλιανὸς ἔγραψε Βοστρηνοῖς ἐξελάσαι τοῦτον τῆς πόλεως. ∆ωρόθεον δέ, τὸν πολύαθλον ἐπίσκοπον Τύρου, τὸν πολλὰς ἱστορίας γράψαντα ἐκκλησιαστικὰς καὶ ἐν λόγοις διαπρέποντα, τὸν ἐπὶ ∆ιοκλητιανοῦ ὁμολογητὴν γεγονότα καὶ αὖθις ἐπὶ Λικινίου, ἐν γήρᾳ βαθεῖ φθάσαντα ἐν τῷ δευτέρῳ χρόνῳ τοῦ παραβάτου οἱ τούτου ἄρχοντες ἐν Ὀδυσσο49 πόλει τοῦτον εὑρόντες ἰδιάσαντα, πολλοὺς αἰκισμοὺς διὰ τὴν εἰς 49 Χριστὸν πίστιν ἐπαγαγόντες ἐθανάτωσαν αὐτὸν ρζʹ χρόνων ὑπάρχοντα. τὰς δὲ Χριστιανῶν εὐποιΐας μιμούμενος ξενῶσι καὶ πτωχοῖς τὰ πρὸς τὴν χρείαν χορηγεῖσθαι ἐκέλευσεν ἀπατῶν τοὺς ἁπλουστέρους. ταῖς εἰκόσιν αὐτοῦ ∆ία καὶ Ἄρεα καὶ Ἑρμῆν συγγράφεσθαι προσέταξεν ὁ δυσσεβὴς καὶ τοὺς λοιποὺς δαίμονας, καὶ τοὺς ἀναβαλλομένους τὴν τούτων προσκύνησιν ὡς ἐχθροὺς τοῦ βασιλέως κολάζεσθαι. τῷ δὲ στρατῷ τὴν ῥόγαν διανέμων πῦρ προετίθει καὶ λίβανον καὶ θυμιᾷν τὸ στράτευμα ἠνάγκαζεν. ἐν Καισαρείᾳ τῇ Φιλίππου, τῇ νῦν Πανεάδι, ὅθεν κατήγετο ἡ αἱμορροοῦσα, ἀνδριὰς ἵστατο πρὸ τοῦ οἴκου αὐτῆς τοῦ κυρίου, ὃν ἐθνικῷ
