Eudoxius for 10 years. 6. Bishop of Jerusalem, Hilary, for 12 years. 11. Bishop of Alexandria, Athanasius, for 46 years. 39. Bishop of Antioch, Leontius, for 8 years. 7. 55 In this year, Valentinian Augustus proclaimed his own son Gratian as Augustus, a partner in the empire and also consul, having previously proclaimed his brother Valens as emperor, as has been said before, who was a fiery Arian and had been baptized by Eudoxius. But the orthodox approached Valentinian through Hypatius, bishop of Heraclea, requesting to be permitted to assemble for the correction of the homoousian doctrine. To whom Valentinian answered: "It is not lawful for me, who am ranked among the laity, to meddle in such matters. Therefore, conduct yourselves as seems best to you priests." Then, having assembled at Lampsacus and having spent two months there, they finally annulled the things done by Eudoxius and Acacius in Constantinople, and that the faith of Seleucia should prevail. But the impious Valens overturned the things done in Lampsacus and sent the bishops who had assembled there into exile, and handed over the churches of Constantinople to the like-minded Eudoxius; and the orthodox had neither a pastor nor a church. 2. 64. 14. 7. 12. 40. 8. In this year, Liberius, bishop of Rome, and Athanasius of Alexandria, and Meletius of Antioch, and Eusebius of Samosata, having been recalled from exile by Jovian, excelled in the orthodox faith, as did Cyril of Jerusalem and other bishops, champions of orthodoxy. Lucius was the head of the Arians in Alexandria, and Euzoius in Antioch, while Paulinus was the head of one part of the orthodox, who were divided into two, and Meletius of the other. Bishop of Jerusalem, Cyril, for 35 years. Bishop of Antioch, Eudoxius, for 2 years. 3. 65. 15. 8. 1. 41. 1. In this year Procopius rebelled in Constantinople in the month of September, and going out to Nacoleia and fortifying himself with a very large army, he caused fear for Valens; and he let up the war against the churches for a short time, until his own generals Agelon and Gomaris betrayed Procopius. This Procopius he ordered to be hung by the legs from two trees that were close to each other and had been bent down, and then released, which, springing upright violently, tore the tyrant apart. And he ordered the generals Agelon and Gomaris who had betrayed him to be sawn in two, which indeed 56 the wretches suffered, having shown goodwill to an unworthy person. At that time he also tore down the walls of Chalcedon for fear of Procopius. But having done away with Procopius, he moved again against the truth. Then he also forced Eleusius of Cyzicus to confess the heteroousian doctrine. And this Eleusius, having come to Cyzicus and having proclaimed his own transgression, and saying he was unworthy of the priesthood, urged that another be appointed bishop for Cyzicus. When the evil-minded Eudoxius learned this, he appointed Eunomius in his place as bishop of Cyzicus. At the same time, the emperor Valens was staying in Marcianopolis of Mysia. And a great earthquake occurred throughout the whole earth during the 8th indiction, in the night, so that in Alexandria ships moored at the shore were lifted up on high and passed over the tall buildings and the walls, and the ships were moved inside into the courtyards and onto the roofs; and when the sea receded, they remained on dry land. And the people, having fled from the city because of the earthquake, seeing the ships on dry land, came to plunder the cargoes in the ships; and the water, returning, covered them all. And other sailors related that at that hour, while sailing in the middle of the Adriatic, they were overtaken, and suddenly in the open sea the ship settled on the bottom; and after a short time the water returned again, and thus they sailed on. 4. 66. 16. 9. 2. 42. 2. In this year, Valentinian the Great, while his wife Severa, the mother of Gratian, was still alive, unlawfully married Justina because of her beauty, which had been attested to by Severa, from whom he had
