 Eusebius of Caesarea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 296 he was in Palestine and saw Constantine who visited the country with Diocletian.
He was in Caesarea when Agapius was bishop and became friendly with Pamphilus of Caesarea, with whom he seems to have studied the text of the Bible, with the aid of Origen's Hexapla and commentaries collected by Pamphilus, in an attempt to prepare a correct version.
A work on the martyrs of Palestine in the time of Diocletian was composed after 311; numerous fragments are scattered in legendaries which still have to be collected.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Acacius (Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine)
Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, disciple and biographer of Eusebius, the historian, whose successor in the See of Caesarea he became in 340.
Homoean ideas were established at Constantinople; and, although their influence never lasted very long in the West, they enjoyed a fluctuating but disquieting supremacy in the East for nearly twenty years longer.
Acacius returned to his see in 361 and spent the next two years of his life in filling the vacant sees of Palestine with men who were thought to sympathize with his policy of theological vagueness and Anti-Nicenism.

 Eusebius Martyrs of Palestine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Chapter I. The first of the martyrs of Palestine was Procopius, who, before he had received the trial of imprisonment, immediately on his first appearance before the governor's tribunal, having been ordered to sacrifice to the so-called gods, declared that he knew only one to whom it was proper to sacrifice, as he himself wills.
For he was a native of Palestine, a deacon and exorcist in the parish of Caesarea; and being present at the destruction of the churches, he beheld many men, with women and children, going up in crowds to the idols and sacrificing.
Throughout the city of Caesarea, by command of the governor, the heralds were summoning men, women, and children to the temples of the idols, and besides this, the chiliarchs were calling out each one by name from a roll, and an immense crowd of the wicked were rushing together from all quarters.

 The Boundaries of Palestine in the Time of Ezra and Nehemiah.
The extent of Palestine, however, according to these data, is considerably less than that which was determined by divine command in the thirty-fourth of Numbers.
It is therefore impossible to assume that the northern portion of this district should belong to Palestine, whilst the southern portion was in Suria.
It is therefore necessary to assume that the Mount Hor, the northern terminus of Palestine, is south of Trablos and Ladikieh, which it actually is, according to my supposition that it is identical with Ras al Shaka.

The story of these fourth century martyrs was recorded by the historian Eusebius, who was living in Caesarea (in Israel, Palestine) at the time they were killed there in 309 A. He describes them as five Egyptian Christians called Elias, Daniel, Samuel, Jeremy (Jeremiah) and Isaias (Isaiah).
The five were beginning the journey back to back to Egypt when they were arrested and questioned at the gates of Caesarea in Palestine.
Porphy, the servant of Pamphilus, demanded that the bodies of the martyrs be buried and as a result was also killed, by being burned to death as a Christian.

From His Epistle on the Question of the Passover, Written in the Name of the Synod of Caesarea.
The Palestinian bishops, after the Jewish downfall, seem to have been the first to comprehend the propriety of adopting the more Catholic usage; and our author presided over a council in Caesarea, of which he was bishop, assisted by Narcissus, bishop of Jerusalem, with Cassius of Tyre and Clarus of Ptolemais, which confirmed it.
It is to be noted, that Alexandria is cited by Theophilus as authority for this custom; and it is not quite correct to say that the Western usage prevailed at Nicaea, for it was the general use, save only in Asia Minor and churches which were colonies of the same.

In 230 Origen traveled to Greece on some church business and, stopping at Caesarea on his way, was ordained as a presbyter by the same friendly bishops who had invited him to preach on his previous visit.
In 250, during the Decian persecution, Origen was imprisoned, cruelly tortured, and condemned to the stake.

"The strange thing is that Eusebius of Caesarea in Palestine, who had denied on one day, but on the next day had subscribed, sent to his church, saying that this is the faith of the Church, and that this is the tradition of the Fathers.
For he cannot show, by means of those writings in which he would seem to be defending himself, that he has withdrawn from his former heretical doctrines, nor can he show that he agreed with the holy and Oecumenical Synod.
He is said to have afterwards withdrawn from the opinion of Arius, and to have become of like mind with those who hold that the Son is coëqual and of the same nature with the Father, and to have been received into communion by the holy Fathers.
