* Arius, “ Arius ’ letter to Eusebius of Nicomedia ”, Ecclesiastical History, ed.

In a letter to Patriarch Alexander of Constantinople Arius ' bishop, Alexander of Alexandria, wrote that Arius derived his theology from Lucian.

The express purpose of Alexander's letter was to complain of the doctrines that Arius was diffusing, but his charge of heresy against Arius is vague and unsupported by other authorities.

Arius objected to Origen's doctrine, complaining about it in his letter to the Nicomedian Eusebius, who had also studied under Lucian.

In explaining his actions against Arius, Alexander of Alexandria wrote a letter to Alexander of Constantinople and Eusebius of Nicomedia ( where the emperor was then residing ), detailing the errors into which he believed Arius had fallen.

Three surviving letters attributed to Arius are his letter to Alexander of Alexandria, his letter to Eusebius of Nicomedia, and his confession to Constantine.

In 323 he was the bearer and possibly the writer of Constantine's letter to Bishop Alexander of Alexandria and Arius his deacon, bidding them cease disturbing the peace of the church ; and, on the failure of the negotiations in Egypt, it was doubtless with the active concurrence of Hosius that the Council of Nicaea was convened in 325.

Because Arius in a letter addressed Eusebius of Nicomedia as " sylloukianistes " (" Fellow-Lucianist "), Lucian's theology came to be associated with the Arian controversy.

The letter of Auxentius, a 4th-century Arian bishop of Milan, regarding the missionary Ulfilas, gives the clearest picture of Arian beliefs on the nature of the Trinity: God the Father (" unbegotten "), always existing, was separate from the lesser Jesus Christ (" only-begotten "), born before time began and creator of the world.

Maximinus, a 5th century Arian theologian, copied Auxentius ' letter, among other works, into the margins of one copy of Ambrose's De Fide ; there are some gaps in the surviving text.

A letter exists from the Emperor Constantius II to King Ezana and his brother Saizanas, in which he vainly requested them to substitute the Arian bishop Theophilus for Frumentius.

More Arian pressure led to Constantius writing a letter demanding whether he alone was going to remain obstinate.

A surviving letter from the Arian Roman Emperor Constantius II is addressed to ' Ezana and his brother Se ' azana, and requests that Frumentius be sent to Alexandria to be examined for doctrinal errors ; Munro-Hay assumes that ' Ezana either refused or ignored this request.

A letter Eusebius is supposed to have written to Constantine's daughter Constanza, refusing to fulfill her request for images of Christ, was quoted in the decrees ( now lost ) of the Iconoclast Council of Hieria in 754, and later quoted in part in the rebuttal of the Hieria decrees in the Second Council of Nicaea of 787, now the only source from which some of the text is known.

* Averil Cameron ( professor at King's College and Oxford ) and Stuart Hall ( historian and theologian ), in their recent translation of the Life of Constantine, point out that writers such as Burckhardt found it necessary to attack Eusebius in order to undermine the ideological legitimacy of the Habsburg empire, which based itself on the idea of Christian empire derived from Constantine, and that the most controversial letter in the Life has since been found among the papyri of Egypt.

Eusebius gives some extracts from his letter to one Aristides, reconciling the apparent discrepancy between Matthew and Luke in the genealogy of Christ by a reference to the Jewish law of Levirate marriage, which compelled a man to marry the widow of his deceased brother, if the latter died without issue.

The council did not read the letter, and paid no attention to the protests of Leo's legates, but deposed Flavian and Eusebius of Dorylaeum, who appealed to Rome.

A fragment of a letter from Irenæus to Pope Victor I during the Easter controversy in the late 2nd century, also preserved by Eusebius, testifies that Telesphorus was one of the Roman bishops who always celebrated Easter on Sunday, rather than on other days of the week according to the calculation of the Jewish Passover.

Eusebius of Caesarea references Saracens in his Ecclesiastical history, in which he narrates an account wherein Dionysus, Bishop of Alexandria mentions Saracens in a letter while describing the Roman emperor Decius ' persecution: " Many were, in the Arabian mountain, enslaved by the barbarous sarkenoi.

In one extant inscription ( CIL III. 12132, from Arycanda ), the cities of Lycia and Pamphylia asking for the interdiction of the Christian cult, Maximinus, in another inscription, replied by expressing his hope that " may those [...] who, after being freed from [...] those by-ways [...] rejoice snatched from a grave illness ". After the victory of Constantine over Maxentius, however, Maximinus, according to Eusebius, directed a letter to the Praetorian Prefect Sabinus, in which he expressed the view that it was better to " recall our provincials to the worship of the gods rather by exhortations and flatteries ".

This letter is the only indisputably contemporary document concerning him and was preserved in Eusebius of Caesarea's Ecclesiastical History.

Into modern times the Gospel of Peter had been known only from early quotations, especially from a reference by Eusebius to a letter publicly circulated by Serapion in 190 – 203, who had found upon examining it that " most of it belonged to the right teaching of the Saviour ," but that some parts might encourage its hearers to fall into the Docetist heresy.

A letter of Polycrates of Ephesus to Pope Victor I written in about 194, mentioned by Eusebius, ( H. E.

However, they sent three -- Syriacus, Eusebius and Priscian -- with a synodal letter to Pope Damasus I, archbishop Saint Ambrose and the other bishops assembled in the council at Rome.

Eusebius refers to three works of Serapion in his history, but admits that others probably existed: first is a private letter addressed to Caricus and Pontius against Montanism, from which Eusebius quotes an extract ( Historia ecclesiastica V, 19 ), as well as ascriptions showing that it was circulated amongst bishops in Asia and Thrace ; next is a work addressed to a certain Domninus, who in time of persecution abandoned Christianity for the error of " Jewish will-worship " ( Hist.

The letter is often mentioned and quoted in other texts, most noteably Josephus's Antiquities of the Jews ( c. 93 AD ), Aristobolus writing in a passage preserved by Eusebius, and by Philo of Alexandria.

The letter of Quadratus ( possibly the first Christian apologist ) to emperor Hadrian ( who reigned 117 – 138 ) is likely to have an early date and is reported by Eusebius in his Ecclesiastical History 4. 3. 2 to have stated:

Dionysius, Bishop of Alexandria ( 247 – 265 ), relates the sufferings of his people in a letter addressed to Fabius, Bishop of Antioch, of which long extracts have been preserved in Eusebius ' Historia Ecclesiae.

There were Christians here in 177 when the churches of Vienne and Lyon addressed a letter to those of Asia and Phrygia and mention is made of the deacon of Vienne ( Eusebius of Caesarea, Church History ).

The event was described in a letter from the Christians in Lugdunum to counterparts in Asia, later retrieved and preserved by Eusebius.

This legend was first recorded in the early 4th century by Eusebius of Caesarea, who said that he had transcribed and translated the actual letter in the Syriac chancery documents of the king of Edessa, but who makes no mention of an image.
