His Historia Ecclesiastica, in eighteen books, brings the narrative down to 610 ; for the first four centuries the author is largely dependent on his predecessors, Eusebius, Socrates Scholasticus, Sozomen, Theodoret and Evagrius, his additions showing very little critical faculty ; for the later period his labours, based on documents now no longer extant, to which he had free access, though he used them also with small discrimination, are much more valuable.

Rufinus is the original ; Socrates expressly states that he follows Rufinus, while Sozomen knows Socrates ' version, but is not satisfied with it and follows Rufinus more closely.

According to the Christian historian Sozomen, Libanius was supposed to have said on his deathbed that John would have been his successor " if the Christians had not taken him from us ".

" According to the ancient historian Sozomen, in his Ecclesiastical History, Sozomen claims that much of the rivalry was based on an ornate statue made in the honor of Eudoxia which Chrysostom condemned, “ The silver statue of the empress ... was placed upon a column of porphyry ; and the event was celebrated by loud acclamations, dancing, games, and other manifestations of public rejoicing ... John declared that these proceedings reflected dishonor on the church .” According to Sozomen, John had also condemned the empress for her grandiose style of ruling over the empire and condemned her in the church, this of course enraged the empress and John was immediately disposed of.

Sozomen wrote two works on church history, of which only the second one is extant.

In some matters, such as in regard to the Novatians, Sozomen is entirely dependent on Socrates.

Instructive in this respect is a comparison of Sozomen, Socrates, and Rufinus on the childhood of Athanasius.

Sozomen made a painstaking effort to be acquainted with all the sources of information on the subjects which he touched, and he had a passionate desire for the truth.

The work of Sozomen was first printed ( editio princeps ) by Robert Estienne at Paris in 1544, on the basis of Codex Regius, 1444.

( Sozomen wrote about the time of Pope Xystus III ) Thomassin's explanation of Sozomen's statement is that there was no preaching in the sense of an elaborate or finished discourse before the time of Pope Leo — with the exception, perhaps, of the address on virginity by Pope Liberius to Marcellina, sister of St. Ambrose, on the occasion of her taking the veil, which is regarded as a private discourse.

By the 5th century, Sozomen stated that most churches, such as at Constantinople, met both on Sabbath and first day ( Saturday evening ), but that Rome and Alexandria met only on the first day ( Saturday evening ) and no longer on Sabbath.

Noting the absence of any mention of Mavia in Zosimus ' work who was familiar with the writings of Sozomen and Socrates, Shahid concludes this omission is deliberate since it did not accord with the Zosimus ' thesis regarding the destructive effects of the Christianization and barbarization he associated with Constantine I's reforms.

In Emperor Theodosius's edict De fide catholica of 27 February 380, enacted in Thessalonica and published in Constantinople for the whole empire, by which he established Catholic Christianity as the official religion of the empire, he referred to Damasus as a pontifex, while calling Peter an episcopus: "... the profession of that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter, as it has been preserved by faithful tradition and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter, Bishop of Alexandria ... We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title Catholic Christians ..." Some see in this an implied significant differentiation, but the title pontifex maximus is not used in the text ; pontifex is used instead: "... quamque pontificem damasum sequi claret et petrum alexandriae episcopum ..." ( Theodosian Code XVI. 1. 2 ; and Sozomen, " Ecclesiastical History ", VII, iv.

For example, Socrates, in I. x, relates an anecdote which he had heard, and says that neither Eusebius nor any other author reports it, yet this anecdote is found in Sozomen, I. xxii, the similarity of diction showing that the text of Socrates was the source.

Of battle with " Mania, who commanded her own troops in person ," Sozomen writes that it was considered " arduous " and " perilous ", and that the general of the entire cavalry and infantry of the East had to be " rescued with difficulty " from battle against her and her troops by the general of the troops of Palestine and Phonecia.

According to the ancient historian Sozomen, in his Ecclesiastical History, Pulcheria took a vow of virginity when she became Augusta, and her sisters followed suit.

Sozomen describes Pulcheria ’ s and her sisters ' pious ways in his Ecclesiastical History: “ They all pursue the same mode of life ; they are sedulous in their attendance in the house of prayer, and evince great charity towards strangers and the poor ... and pass their days and their nights together in singing the praises of God .” Rituals within the imperial palace also included chanting and reciting passages in the scripture, and fasting twice a week.

Pulcheria ’ s reason for a vow of virginity may have been her deeply religious virtue as recorded by Sozomen: “ She devoted her virginity to God, and instructed her sisters to do likewise.

According to ancient historians Sozomen, Socrates, and Theodoret, Pulcheria had a deep dislike for Anthemius, the former guardian of Theodosius ; the reasons may have been his distaste for her immense power within the empire and her unwillingness to allow Anthemius to gain power amongst the imperial court.

Albert Guldenpenning supposed that Sozomen himself suppressed the end of his work because in it he mentioned the Empress Aelia Eudocia, who later fell into disgrace through her supposed adultery.

Sozomen reports her preventing a conference between Theodosius and Eunomius of Cyzicus who served as figurehead of Anomoeanism, a distinct sect of Arians.

The historians Sozomen and Theodoret did not included Eudocia in their history because they were written after Eudocia had fallen into disgrace.

The historical exposition is altogether impersonal ; Sozomen assumes ( III. xv ) that the task of history is to assemble facts without adding anything to them, hence he indulges in little criticism and usually adopts the views of his sources.

He was the author of a history in twenty-two books of the Western Empire from 407 to 425, which was used by Zosimus and Sozomen and probably Philostorgius, as J. F.

Under the influence of Pulcheria, Theodosius sent troops into battle against Persia, the fanaticism over the war by the people of the empire was described by Sozomen as " ready to do anything for the sake of Christianity.

He also adds that it was said ( by whom he does not say ) that the location of the Sepulchre was " disclosed by a Hebrew who dwelt in the East, and who derived his information from some documents which had come to him by paternal inheritance " ( although Sozomen himself disputes this account ) and that a dead person was also revived by the touch of the Cross.

The ecclesiastical records used by Sozomen are principally taken from Sabinus, to whom he continually refers.

Sozomen speaks of his " fitness for the priesthood ", and calls attention to the significant circumstance that he was " from his tenderest years practically self-taught ".

It provides identification -- with an idea, a value, a cause that cuts through, or even transcends, the multiple and ambivalent identities of their passage from child to adult, and permits their forceful and overt expression of emotion.

By this consideration atomic physics provides the underlying theory in plasma physics and atmospheric physics, even though both deal with very large numbers of atoms.

Nonetheless, as a practical matter, no civil law legislature can ever address the full spectrum of factual possibilities in the breadth, depth and detail of the case law of the common law courts of even a smaller jurisdiction, and that deeper, more complete body of law provides additional predictability that promotes commerce.

( Mehler 2005: 150 ) The very presence of numerous foreign personnel and organizations in the country, including peacekeepers and even refugee camps, provides an important source of revenue for many Central Africans.

When applied to the simplest two-electron molecule, H < sub > 2 </ sub >, valence bond theory, even at the simplest Heitler-London approach, gives a much closer approximation to the bond energy, and it provides a much more accurate representation of the behavior of the electrons as chemical bonds are formed and broken.

Spalling provides a potential mechanism whereby material may be ejected into inter-planetary space largely undamaged, and whereby small volumes of the impactor may be preserved undamaged even in large impacts.

Mainland European sources rarely concern themselves with affairs in Britain, and even less commonly with events in northern Britain, but the life of Saint Cathróe of Metz, a work of hagiography written in Germany at the end of the 10th century, provides plausible details of the saint's early life in north Britain.

The word " legacy " implies that the system is a thing of value, even if it provides more cost than benefit, and helps to justify not replacing or discarding it.

Varāhamihira's classical work Brihatsamhita, written about 500 AD, provides clear evidence that a deep knowledge of atmospheric processes existed even in those times.

This provides a guarantee that the properties proved about the API actually hold for the real kernel, a degree of assurance which goes beyond even CC EAL7.

This resistant starch is considered to have similar physiological effects and health benefits as fiber: It provides bulk, offers protection against colon cancer, improves glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity, lowers plasma cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations, increases satiety, and possibly even reduces fat storage.

One of its great advantages is that any sample provides two clocks, one based on uranium-235's decay to lead-207 with a half-life of about 700 million years, and one based on uranium-238's decay to lead-206 with a half-life of about 4. 5 billion years, providing a built-in crosscheck that allows accurate determination of the age of the sample even if some of the lead has been lost.

Some even use the term to refer to capitalist economies such that the state provides substantial public services and regulation of business activity.
