he spent thirty years in the episcopate, arraying himself against the phalanx of Arius and Eunomius, combating the predatory band of Apollinarius, and offering the best pasture to the divine sheep. And his brother Polychronius shepherded the church of Apamea excellently, employing both the grace of his speech and the brilliance of his life. But I, ceasing my writing here, entreat those who will read it to repay the labor with prayers. This history, moreover, contains a period of one hundred and five years, beginning from the madness of Arius, and receiving its end at the death of the praiseworthy men Theodore and Theodotus. And I will list in order those who presided over the great cities after the persecution. Of Rome: Miltiades, Silvester, Julius, Liberius, Damasus, Siricius, Anastasius, Innocent, Boniface, Zosimus, Celestine. Of Antioch: Vitalis, Philogonius, Eustathius; these were orthodox. After these, heretics, supposedly in communion: Eulalius, Euphronius, Flacitus, Stephen, Leontius, Eudoxius. then orthodox: Meletius, Flavian, Porphyry, Alexander, Theodotus; and joined to these were Paulinus, Evagrius. 349 Of Alexandria: Achillas, Alexander, Athanasius, then Gregory, a heretic, then again Athanasius, George, a heretic, then again Athanasius, after him Peter, then Lucius, a heretic, then again the same Peter, Timothy, Theophilus, Cyril. Of Jerusalem: Macarius, Maximus, Cyril, John, Praulius, Juvenal. Of Constantinople: Alexander, then Eusebius from Nicomedia by translation, a heretic, after him Paul, both orthodox and martyr, after him Macedonius, heresiarch of the Pneumatomachi; having thrust him aside, the impious Eudoxius took possession of the church; after him Demophilus of Beroea in Thrace transferred himself there; then Gregory of Nazianzus, who came later, after him Nectarius, John, Arsacius, Atticus, Sisinnius.
