	SOZOMEN - LoveToKnow Article on SOZOMEN
		Sozomen himself had conversed with one of these, a very old man. He tells us that he was brought up under monkish influences and his history bears him out.
		It is probable that Sozomen did not approve of Socratess freer attitude towards Greek science, and that he wished to present a picture in which the clergy should be still further glorified and monasticism brought into still stronger prominence.
		Sozomen also wrote an Epitome of History from the Ascension of Christ to the defeat of Licinius (323) which is not now extant (see his history, i.

	Sozomen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sozomen wrote that his grandfather lived at Bethel, near Gaza, and became a Christian together with his household, probably under Constantius.
		The spirit and interest of Sozomen's history is clearly apparent; he follows the thread of the narrative of Socrates but seeks to improve upon and to excel his original by elegance of diction, and by the use of excellent sources of which he makes skilful use.
		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.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Salminius Hermias Sozomen
		At most it would appear that, while Sozomen used the work of Socrates as a guide, as well in regard to materials as to order, and while at times he did not hesitate to use it as a secondary source, he was, nevertheless, neither an indiscriminate borrower nor a plagiarist.
		Internal evidence points to the fact that Sozomen undertook to write his history about 443, and that what he succeeded in doing was accomplished in a comparatively short time.
		Nevertheless, 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 name Sozomen itself is documentarily a very unusual one; and was probably bestowed upon the child by the father as a devout recognition of deliverance for himself and his boy, and in contrast with the family surname.
		Sozomen, from his handling of the events, allied himself with the illiberal cabal; and while he sought room for a representation of foreign Christianity in his book, nevertheless opposed the intrusion of at least the northern element into the offices of the empire.
		Sozomen has refrained in large measure from indicating directly his chief authorities for political or ecclesiastical affairs; he has indicated, indeed, some minor springs, as we have seen, but the major ones are passed by.

		The grandfather of Hermias Sozomen was born in that village, and first converted to the Christian faith by Hilarion the monk.
		The grandfather of Sozomen was eminent for his expositions of the Sacred Scriptures, being a person endowed with a polite wit, and an acuteness of understanding; and besides, he was well skilled in literature.
		Alaphion, too, was related to Sozomen's grandfather, as we may conjecture; first, because the grandfather of Sozomen is said to have been converted (together with his whole family) to the Christian religion, upon account of Alaphion's wonderful cure, whom Hilarion had healed by calling on the name of Almighty God.

	October 5 Meeting
		Sozomen, Historia ecclesiastica 9.17 speaks of the discovery of the relics of Zechariah.
		Sozomen reports that a monastic superior at Gerari found an ancient non-canonical Hebrew document stating that seven days after Zechariah was put to death, the beloved son of Joash suddenly died; understanding this as manifestation of divine wrath, the king ordered his son to be buried at the feet of the prophet.
		Sozomen’s text concludes with a description of the dead Zechariah in his grave: despite his long burial, Zechariah’s body is intact; he has short hair, a straight nose, a moderate beard, and a short head with sunken eyes and thick eyebrows.

	Sozomen
		Sozomen (Salamanes Hermeias Sozomenus) originated from Gaza in Palestine and became an advocatus in Constantinople ca.
		Within four months subsequently they killed Gratian, and elected Constantine in his place, imagining that, on account of his name, he would be able to reduce the empire firmly under his authority; and for no other reason than this, several other persons of the same name were elected to the tyranny.
		Sozomen also mentions details about the rebellious general Gerontius, such as the name of his (presumably British) wife Nonnichia, in describing the events of his death:

	C. H. Forney's The Christian Ordinances [Part I: Baptism, Chapter III].
		With Sozomen, the historian is usually coupled Theodoret, the theologian, because their testimony bears on the same point, and was delivered nearly at the same time.
		Sozomen says: "Some say that Eunomius was the first who dared to bring forward the notion that the divine baptism ought to be administered by a single immersion; and to corrupt the tradition that has been handed down from the Apostles, and which is still observed among all.
		Sozomen expressly designates the body of which he writes "The Catholic Church." It is well known that large bodies of Christians were then already regarded as outside the Catholic Church, and that the truth, in many instances, is to be found among them.

	Stones and Stories: Reconstructing the Christianization of the Golan
		Sozomen records that Mavia refused to negotiate about military matters with the Emperor Valens unless Moses, an "orthodox" (non-Arian) holy man living in the desert near her people, was consecrated as bishop for her people.
		Sozomen also records a story of the Salîhids' adoption of Christianity during Valens' reign after a miraculous birth to the wife of the Salîhids' leader, Zocomus.
		While the Arab conversions related in Sozomen pre-date the monophysite controversy, this intra-Christian struggle is integral to the stories surrounding the Ghassânids, the Arab tribe that rose to power east of the Golan in the late fifth and early sixth centuries.

		The education of Sozomen was conducted with a view to the legal profession; and he studied for some years at Berytus, then noted for its school of law.
		The precise object of Sozomen in undertaking to write this history is not apparent, as exactly the same ground had previously been gone over by Socrates, if we except the ninth book of the former, which is almost entirely devoted to the political history of the times.
		The learned Photius prefers the style of Sozomen to that of Socrates; yet Sozomen frequently evinces great deficiency in point of judgment, and on many occasions enlarges upon details which are altogether omitted by Socrates, as unworthy of the dignity of Ecclesiastical History.

		He was a man of ability (Sozomen H. 23) and had exceptional opportunities for producing a full and accurate account of Eusebius' life; the disappearance of his work is therefore deeply to be regretted.
		Socrates and Sozomen, however, inform us that the election of Eusebius took place immediately after the deposition of Eustathius, while Theodoret (H. 22) names Eulalius as Eustathius' immediate successor, and states that he lived but a short time, and that Eusebius was then asked to succeed him.
		According to Sozomen the Emperor, having been induced to recall Arius from banishment in order to reconsider his case, was presented by the latter with a confession of faith, which was so worded as to convince Constantine of his orthodoxy.

	THE EARLY CHRISTIAN LITERATURE PRIMERS
		Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret, the three historians next in rank to Eusebius, and who all wrote about A. 350, began their works where his history left off.
		A noticeable peculiarity of Socrates is the favor with which he always speaks of the Novatians, a predilection so strong that he has been thought by some to have belonged to that sect.
		He, like Socrates, was a lawyer in Constantinople, but seems to have been a younger man, and to have continued his practice at the forum, which the other had abandoned to pursue his researches.

	Philostorgius, Ecclesiastical History - Footnotes
		We may observe that this step of the Arian party was taken out of opposition to Athanasius and his friends, for the latter had recently sent Frumentius as bishop to the Auxumitae, as Socrates, Sozomen, and Rufinus testify.
		The Arians took care also to engage the secular power on their own side, by obtaining from the emperor letters to the chiefs of the Auxumitae, urging the expulsion of Frumentius from their country, as we learn from Athanasius in his Apology.
		The learned Cave, however, denies that the former Paulinus was ever bishop of Antioch, and asserts that the passage cited by Valesius from the tenth book of Eusebius, need be understood to imply that he was ever bishop of Antioch; and if so, the fact rests on the authority of Philostorgius alone.

	Newman Reader - Arians of the 4th Century - Chapter 2-5
		There have been attempts to attribute this heresy to Catholic writers previous to his time; yet its contemporaries are express in their testimony that he was the author of it, nor can anything be adduced from the Ante-Nicene theology to countenance such an imputation.
		Sozomen expressly says, that Arius was the first to introduce into the Church the formulæ of the "out of nothing," and the "once He was not," that is, the creation and the non-eternity of the Son of God.
		Before detailing, however, the separate characteristics of his heresy, it may be right briefly to confront it with such previous doctrines, in and out of the Church, as may be considered to bear a resemblance to it.
