Italian original Cite

EUFRONIUS, Patriarch of Antioch. - When at the Arian Synod of Antioch in 330 the bishop Eustathius was deposed, Paulinus of Tyre governed that church for a few months. On his death a certain Eulalius was elected, but he died shortly afterwards. The Arians then thought of entrusting that church to Eusebius of Caesarea, but he declined the invitation, citing the prohibition of the Council of Nicaea, which forbade the transfer of bishops. On the suggestion of the emperor Constantine, E. was then elected in 332, already a priest of Caesarea in Cappadocia and a follower of Arian ideas. He governed for barely a year and a few months.
