EUSEBIUS OF ALEXANDRIA. - Probably a fictitious figure of the Alexandrian priest JOHN (PG 86, 1, 297-310) who published under this name his own 22 Ascetical Treatises (ibid., 313-462).
Various fragments were discovered by K. Holl, Fragmente vaticanischer Kirchenwart aus der Sacra Parallela (Texte und Untersuchungen, 20, 1), Leipzig 1899, pp. 214-233). No fewer than 3 different Greek recensions of Sermon 16: De die dominica furone prohibita were found by F. Nau (in Revue de l'Orient chrét., 13 [1908], pp. 406-35), on which treatise see also Th. Zahn, Eine altkirchliche Rede über die Sonntagsmache, in Zeitschrift für kirchliche Wissenschaft und kirchliches Leben, 1884, pp. 516-34. Some sermons, inspired by the Gospel of Nicodemus, have a lively character and were probably later used for sacred representations.
