EUZOIO

Italian original Cite

EUZONIUS. — Bishop of Caesarea in Palestine, where he had been a fellow student of St. Gregory Nazianzen at the school of a certain Thespele.

The emperor Valens replaced the bishop Gelasius in that see with him, on account of his Arian ideas. He was still occupying it in 376-77, when Epiphanius was writing his Panarion. He worked hard to restore the famous library of that city, built up especially with the works of Origen, collected and donated by Pamphilus. On the accession of Theodosius he had to abandon the see, to which Gelasius returned. Of the "diverse and manifold treatises" which he, according to St. Jerome (De viris illustr., 113), is said to have published, nothing survives.
