	Eunapius, Lives of the Philosophers and Sophists (date) pp.319-341. Introduction
		To him Eunapius gave a loyalty that was unaffected by his teacher's religion, though otherwise he is consistent in hating and fearing the steadily growing influence of Christianity.
		Eunapius, however, though incorrect in minor details, is a fairly good authority, and he had access to reliable documents, such as the lost works of Porphyry himself.
		Eunapius, who is inclined to disparage Libanius, omits to say that, as his fame increased, the citizens of Constantinople demanded his return, and he was recalled by an Imperial edict.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Jovian
		Ammianus sets the choice of Jovian immediately after Julian had died but before his demise had been announced to the troops and attributes the choice of Jovian over other, allegedly more suitable candidates, to the vocal support of a few hot-headed soldiers.
		There is a rich tradition extending to the ninth century Arab annalist al-Tabari recounting Jovian's refusal of the purple because, as a Christian, he would not rule over pagans, a declaration followed by the profession of the Roman troops that they too were Christian.
		Eunapius (VS 478) says that Jovian continued to honor Maximus and Priscus, the Neoplatonist advisors of Julian, and, upon reaching Tarsus, Jovian performed funeral rites for Julian (Socrates 3.26).

	Iamblichus (philosopher) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		We learn from Suidas, and from his biographer Eunapius, that he was born at Chalcis (modern Quinnesrin) in Syria.
		He was the son of a rich and illustrious family, and he is said to have been the ancestor of several priest-kings of Emesa.
		The Roman emperor Julian, not content with Eunapius' more modest eulogy that he was inferior to Porphyry only in style, regarded Iamblichus as more than second to Plato, and claimed he would give all the gold of Lydia for one epistle of lamblichus.

		Eunapius shews him self an enthusiastic admirer of the philosophy,of the New Platonists, and a bitter enemy of Chris tianity.
		In the first, Eunapius had given vent to his rabid feel ings against Christianity, especially against Con- stantine the Great; whereas he looked upon the emperor Julian as some divine being that had been sent from heaven upon earth.
		In the second edi tion, from which the excerpta still extant are taken, those passages were omitted; but they had been expunged with such negligence and carelessness, that many parts of the work were very obscure.

	Whitby on Hägg and Philip Rousseau (eds), Greek Biography and Panegyric in Late Antiquity
		In the fourth-century biographers a new emotional, personal and religious tone emerges: the biographers are personally involved with their subjects, Eunapius as one of the Neoplatonic philosophers of whom he writes and the anonymus author of the Historia Monachorum through the hardships he underwent in interviewing his subjects.
		Eunapius, by contrast, emphasizes the divinity at the centre of his personalities, their Neoplatonic souls seeking to link the divine in themselves to the divine cosmos.
		Like the author of the Historia Monachorum, Eunapius is also anecdotal, his tales often centred on ritual activities, but for him Hellenic paideia is crucial, and his subjects have actually achieved the transformation sought by the monks, their souls having passed beyond bodily confines.

		The topic happens to be poor Eunapius again but it could have been neurotic Aristides or uncritical Philostratus, or even Fronto or Plutarch whose inclusion in this volume on Sophistic requires further argument.
		The focus on topics, not individual authors, is reasonable, but there seems to be not enough consideration of any work or author for the uninitiated browser to decide whether to alter course and to read Eunapius.
		On the other hand, if you are a regular reader of Eunapius and I can name two you will not learn anything you did not know already.

	Zosimus, New History. London: Green and Chaplin (1814). Introduction to the online edition.
		It may be said that Zosimus did not himself write the history, but that he copied that of Eunapius, from which it only differs in brevity and in being less abusive of Stilicho.
		I think that both these authors brought out new editions, although I have not seen the first edition, but it may be conjectured from the title of the "new edition," which I have read, that, like Eunapius, he published a second edition.
		He is clearer and more concise, as we have said, than Eunapius, and rarely employs figures of speech.

Germination occurred within 48 to 72 h following warming to 20 [degrees] -23 [degrees] C, culminating with the emergence of a new sponge from the collagenous capsule.

		Eunapius obtained his account third-hand from a student of one of Iamblichus’ devotees.
		The biography hints that some of Iamblichus’ disciples were rather literal-minded, so we might suspect that the Gadara episode originated as a story in symbols, a teaching tale rather than a news report.
		And in Eunapius’ tale, Iamblichus himself represents this attainment.
