Evagrius and Eustathius Banished

When this had been done, the Arians renewed their persecution of the Homoousians. The emperor soon learned what had happened, and fearing that some popular riot would overthrow the city, he at once sent troops from Nicomedia to Constantinople, with orders that both the man who had been ordained and the man who had ordained him be arrested and sent into exile in different regions. So Eustathius was banished to Bizya, a city of Thrace, and Evagrius was taken to another place. After this the Arians grew bolder and harassed the orthodox party severely. They often beat them, insulted them, had them imprisoned, and fined them; in short, they inflicted distressing and unbearable injuries on them. The sufferers were moved to appeal to the emperor for protection against their opponents, hoping they might get some relief from this oppression. But whatever hope of redress they may have had from that quarter came to nothing at all, since they were only laying their grievances before the very man who had caused them.
