Eusebius, Another Bishop

Eusebius of Emesa, who had a fine gift for rhetoric, composed countless works suited to win popular applause. Writing in the historical manner, he is read most diligently by those who practice public speaking. Chief among these works are Against the Jews, the Gentiles and the Novatians, and Homilies on the Gospels, short but numerous. He flourished in the reign of the emperor Constantius, in whose reign he also died, and he was buried at Antioch.
