	Philostorgius, Ecclesiastical History - Footnotes
		1 Philostorgius states that these Auxumitae were converted to Christianity by Theophilus the Arian, in the time of Constantine: but it is quite clear that their conversion is in reality to be ascribed to Frumentius, who was ordained by Athanasius in the commencement of his episcopate, about A. 337, and soon after sent among them.
		The assertion, however, of Philostorgius, is proved to be false by the letter of the synod of bishops of Palestine held by the bishop of Jerusalem, of which an account is given by Athanasius in his Apology.
		Philostorgius is right in asserting that he was already emperor at the time that he gained this victory; though the contrary is asserted by Theodoret, Eccl.

	Roman Emperors DIR Procopius
		[[5]] Philostorgius simply says that many thought the throne should belong to Procopius, who, through fear of suspicion of designs on the throne, upon Jovian's ascession fled Mesopotamia with his wife and went into hiding.
		Philostorgius does not give his name, but does note his kinship to Herrenianus and Gerresianus, two friends of Eunomius, who had been indicted as Aetius' co-conspirators.
		Philostorgius, too, has Procopius beheaded but says with regard to Florentius that the troops, out to even an earlier grudge, burnt him alive (9.5).

	Philostorgius, Ecclesiastical History
		Philostorgius was born about 368 at Borissus in Cappadocia Secunda but went at the age of twenty to Constantinople where he spent most of his life.
		PHILOSTORGIUS falsely relates, that after the general council and the recantation of the Eusebians, and their open return to the orthodox faith, the emperor Constantine punished them, because, while they subscribed to the Homoousian faith, they entertained sentiments at variance with it,
		And his request, as Philostorgius testifies, was not made in vain, for as soon as Theophilus had laid his healing hands upon the empress, she was set free from her malady.

		During the same period may fall a series of incidents related by Philostorgius (3.27), who alleges that accusations against the anomian theologian Aetius by his rivals Basil and Eustathius prompted Gallus to order Aetius' execution.
		However, Philostorgius continues, Leontius, Bishop of Antioch, interceded on Aetius' behalf and the latter quickly became a favorite of the Caesar, while Gallus ultimately appointed Aetius to be director of the religious education of Julian, with the express aim of recalling him from impiety (paganism or Christian heresy?).

		Heather raises the possiblility that an account in Philostorgius, perhaps based on Eunapian material, may have been at the root of a deliberate restructuring of Socrates' account by Sozomen (304f).
		Philostorgius certainly had an interest in Gothic Christianity, as attested in his chapter on Ulfilas (H.E. This passage indicates that Philostorgius clearly understood that the activity of conversion had been occurring in Gothic territory since the third century and that official contacts btween the emperor and Gothic Christians dated at least to the 330s.

	Northvegr - Commentary To the Germanic Laws and Medieval Documents
		Upon close inspection the whole structure of Germanic philology, in so far as it rests upon the assumption of a fourth century Gothic literature, collapses from its own weight, and a new building has to be reared after the debris have been cleared away.
		Apparently the unusual activity of the Gothic bishop had led to exaggerated accounts of his literary accomplishments among his warlike countrymen, and this legendary lore was seized upon by all the later writers.
		It, therefore, becomes necessary to reinvestigate all the Gothic manuscripts, both textually and palaeographically, before any theory independent of the statement by Philostorgius and the other ancient writers may be propounded.

	THE EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE PRIMERS
		His work is in nine books, the principal additions to what Socrates has related being in extended details in regard to monks and solitaries, and in his ninth book, which is devoted almost entirely to political history.
		Though defending what may be called the rationalistic school of his day, Philostorgius was himself very credulous, and an ultra-supernatural-ist.
		Having spoken in his last book of certain remarkable earthquakes, he says that the circumstances prove that such things do not happen through natural causes, but that they are sent down upon mankind as scourges of the divine wrath, for the purpose of converting sinners and bringing them to repentance.

		Philostorgius reported that Eusebius, the Arian bishop of Nicomedia, found a testament in Constantine's bedclothes after his death that charged his half-brothers, their sons, and various other accomplices with poisoning him, and which implored his sons to avenge his death.
		However, Philostorgius himself was a fervent Arian, and a sharp critic of St. Athanasius of Alexandria.
		Moreover, he wrote his history between 425 and 433 C.E., only a century after the events in question, and seems to have had access to Arian sources that are lost to us.

		The Acts of the martyrdom of Basileus, supposedly written by an eyewitness, a presbyter named Johannes, are not authentic and the narrative is entirely legendary.
