	Basil of Caesarea
		Siding from the beginning and at the Council of Constantinople in 360 with the Homoiousians, Basil went especially with those who overcame the aversion to the homoousios in common opposition to Arianism, thus drawing nearer to Athanasius of Alexandria.
		He also became a stranger to his bishop, Dianius of Caesarea[?], who had subscribed the Nicene form of agreement, and became reconciled to him only when the latter was about to die.
		The principal theological writings of Basil are his De Spiritu Sancto, a lucid and edifying appeal to Scripture and early Christian tradition, and his Refutation of the Apology of the Impious Eunomius, written in 363 or 364, three books against Eunomius of Cyzicus, the chief exponent of Anomoian Arianism.

	St. Basil the Great
		As a boy, he was sent to school at Caesarea, then "a metropolis of letters", and conceived a fervent admiration for the local bishop, Dianius.
		Basil still retained considerable influence in Caesarea, and it is regarded as fairly probable that he had a hand in the election of the successor of Dianius who died in 362, after having been reconciled to Basil.
		In his hands the great metropolitan see of Caesarea took shape as the sort of model of the Christian diocese; there was hardly any detail of episcopal activity in which he failed to mark out guiding lines and to give splendid example.

		Relatively to Caesarea, Basil's usual place of residence, Annesi is near Neocaesarea An analogy would be found in the statement of a writer usually residing in London, that if he came to Sheffield he would be not far from Doncaster.
		At Caesarea he was welcomed as one of the most distinguished of her sons, and there for a time taught rhetoric with conspicuous success.
		In 360 Dianius signed the creed of Ariminum, brought to Caesarea by George of Laodicea; and thereby Basil was so much distressed as henceforward to shun communion with his bishop.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Basil the Great
		Basil the Elder, father of St. Basil the Great, was the son of a Christian of good birth and his wife, Macrina (Acta SS., January, II), both of whom suffered for the faith during the persecution of Maximinus Galerius (305-314), spending several years of hardship in the wild mountains of Pontus.
		In any case the new bishop, Eusebius, was practically placed in his office by the elder Gregory of Nazianzus.
		In any event, he became Bishop of Caesarea largely by the influence of the elder Gregory of Nazianzus.

		With a population in the fourth century of perhaps 200,000, Caesarea was far and away the largest city in Cappadocia.
		Gregory had probably been in Caesarea before Basil came there, and he very likely left well before, since he went for further studies to Caesarea in Palestine and to Alexandria before going to Athens where he was established before Basil arrived.
		To her influence was added that of Bishop Dianius of Caesarea, whom Basil had come to admire.

	Roman Power and Christian Conflict 285-395 by Sanderson Beck
		Caesarea bishop Eusebius described how Christians were supernaturally protected from beasts incited to attack them in the arena so that the martyrs had to be butchered by the sword.
		A different Eusebius, bishop of Caesarea, wrote that Maxentius dishonored countless free women with his lust and that at least one Christian wife of a senator committed suicide to preserve her chastity.
		Constantine was persuaded by Eusebius of Caesarea to recall Arius from exile.

		Great Syrian bishops like those of Caesarea, Tyre, and Laodicea gave him more or less encouragement; and when the old Lucianist Eusebius of Nicomedia held a council in Bithynia to demand his recall, it became clear that the controversy was more than a local dispute.
		Little as Eusebius of Caesarea liked some issues of the council, he is full of genuine enthusiasm over his majestic roll of churches far and near, from the extremity of Europe to the farthest ends of Asia.
		In mere learning he was no match for Eusebius of Caesarea, and even as a thinker he has a worthy rival in Hilary of Poitiers, while some of the Arian leaders were fully equal to him in political skill.

	EPISTLE 8: TO THE CAESAREANS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		AD 360, upon or shortly after St Basil's discovery that the bishop who had baptised him (Dianius), had accepted the revised Arian creed of Ariminum.
		Dianius, having departed Caesarea and withdrawn to Nazianzus, left behind a flock striving to maintain the truth.
		St Basil's letter to these Caesareans is extremely important in its exposition of Orthodox Trinitarian theology and its description of the relationship of the three members of the Trinity.

		He seems to have baptized Basil, who speaks warmly in his praise, expressing the affection and respect he felt for him, and the pleasure he took in his society; and describing him as a man remarkable for his virtue, as frank, generous, and venerable, while he was amiable and agreeable in his manners.
		Eusebius, the successor of Dianius, was a bishop of orthodox profession, but had little of the theological knowledge or force of character necessary for coping {5} with the formidable heresy by which the Church was assailed.
		His retreat, both now and in the lifetime of Dianius, was the wild region of Pontus, where he had founded a number of monasteries, over one of which he presided.

	The Potter's Place
		Basil, bishop of Caesarea in the fourth century, is widely known in the Eastern Orthodox and Catholic Church as a champion against heresy and the father of monasticism in Cappadocia.
		His monastic life began in 358, but had to forsake it in 364 when he was called to Caesarea to aid the bishop in his fight against political pressure from the emperor and against heresy.
		The emperor left Caesarea emotionally defeated and in fear that the people would revolt if he were to harm their bishop.

		The curia of Caesarea appear to play an administrative rather than political role, even before the provincial division mandated their relocation (M suggests many might have quietly retired rather than move).
		M argues that at Caesarea these tensions weakened his authority, creating dividing lines not between Christian and pagan, but between inhabitants and soldiers in Caesarea, on the one hand, and outside bishops or the governor himself, on the other, with bishops and governors in perpetual rivalry.
		The relationship seems to end by 451, and indeed M suggests that the council of Chalcedon was a defining moment for many of the tensions she explores, particularly those between Caesarea and Tyana and relating to Pontus.

		The governor, finding them all resolute, caused them to be torn with whips, and their sides to be rent with iron hooks; after which they were loaded with chains, and committed to jail.
		After some days, Lysias, their general, coming from Caesarea to Sebaste, they were re-examined, and no less generously rejected the large promises made them than they despised the torments they were threatened with.
		Some of these precious relics were kept in Caesarea, and St. Basil says of them: "Like bulwarks, they are our protection against the inroads of enemies." He adds that every one implored their succour, and that they raised up those that had fallen, strengthened the weak, and invigorated the fervour of the saints.

		Basil was born of a distinguished family of Caesarea, the capital of Cappadocia, which was a province of Asia Minor of special importance in the 4th century due to its position on the military road between Constantinople and Antioch.
		Shortly before the death of Dianius (362), Basil was reconciled to him and later was ordained presbyter (priest) to assist Dianius' successor, the new convert Eusebius.
		His theological and ecclesiastical policy thereafter aimed to unite against Arianism the former semi-Arians and the supporters of Nicaea under the formula "three persons (hypostases) in one substance (ousia)," thus preserving both unity and the necessary distinctions in the theological concept of the godhead.

		I know not whether this statement was really true, or whether they merely advanced it in order to give weight to their own document, by connecting with it the dignity of a martyr.
		It was universally acknowledged that all these bishops held the same sentiments, such as Dianius, bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia, George, bishop of Laodicea in Syria, and many others who acted as bishops over metropolitan and other distinguished churches.
		They deposed from the episcopates, Theodore, bishop of Thrace; Narcissus, bishop of Irenopolis; Acacius, bishop of Caesarea, in Palestine; Menophantus, bishop of Ephesus; Ursacius, bishop of Sigidunus in Moesia; Valens, bishop of Mursia in Pannonia; and George, bishop of Laodicea, although this latter had not attended the Synod with the Eastern bishops.

		He was due to come in October and Gregory was worried about the ability of Bishop Eusebius to withstand the subtle and not so subtle pressures the visit of the Arianizing Emperor would impose.
		After the death of Dianius and the election of Eusebius he probably stayed in Caesarea for a time, and if he got back to Annesi in 363, he was called away again for his ordination in 364.
		Gregory came hurrying to Caesarea, only to find bishops gathering to choose Eusebius ' successor and to hear that Basil was more likely to be on the episcopal throne than on his deathbed.

		In 360, Dianius, who had been the Bishop of St. Basil, signed the creed of Ariminum, which had been brought to Caesarea by George of Laodicea, and St. Basil declined communion with his Bishop.
		They also notified many Orthodox Bishops to come to Caesarea, and gave the excuse that if they were not present the election would already be concluded, but if present they would not be able to say that they were not invited.
		Basil was elected, and Consecrated as Archbishop of Caesarea the capital of Cappadocia.

		But whereas you have also told me of the monks at Caesarea, and I have learned from our beloved Dianius(3) that they are vexed, and are opposing our beloved bishop Basil, I am glad you have informed me, and I have pointed out.
		But if they are confident, as we all are, that he is a glory to the Church, contending rather on behalf of the truth and teaching those who require it, it is not right to combat such an one, but rather to accept with thanks his good conscience.
		For from what the beloved Dianius has related, they appear to be vexed without cause.

		The Benedictine note considers the traditional title an error, and concludes the letter to have been really addressed to the monks of the Coenobium over which Basil had presided.
		But it may have been written to monks in or near Caesarea, so that title and sense will agree.
		2 patri/j seems to be used of the city or neighbourhood of Caesarea, and so far to be in favour of Basil's birth there.

	The Council Of Gangra, Historical Note, Synodical Letter & Canons
		Still another theory has been urged by the Ballerini, resting on the supposition that the Eusebius who presided was Eusebius of Caesarea, and they therefore fix the date between 362 and 370.
		Ffoulkes suggests that Dius is "probably Dianius, the predecessor of Eusebius." Lightfoot(4) fixes the episcopate of Eusebius Pumphili as between 313 and 337; and states that that of Eusebius of Caesarea in Cappadocia did not begin until 362, so that the enormous chronological difficulties will be evident to the reader.
		As all the proposed new dates involve more or less contradiction, I have given the canons their usual position between Neocaesarea and Antioch, and have left the date undetermined.

		If you refuse I am prepared to destroy Caesarea, to overthrow the buildings that have long adorned it; to erect in their place temples and statues; and so to induce all men to submit to the Emperor of the Romans and not exalt themselves.
		In consequence of this satisfactory statement I dismissed all anxiety and doubt, and, as you are aware, communicated with him, and gave over grieving.
		If anyone avers that he is privy to any vile slander on my part against Dianius, do not let him buzz it slave-wise in a corner; let him come boldly out and convict me in the light of day.
