113 Euzoius the bishop PL 23, 707

Euzoius, as a young man, together with Gregory, bishop of Nazianzan, was educated by Thespesius the rhetorician at Cæsarea, and afterwards when bishop of the same city, with great pains attempted to restore the library, collected by Origen and Pamphilus, which had already suffered injury. At last, in the reign of the Emperor Theodosian, he was expelled from the church. Many and various treatises of his are in circulation, and one may easily become acquainted with them.

Euzoius, apud Thespesium rhetorem, cum Gregorio Nazianzeno episcopo adolescens Caesareae eruditus est, et ejusdem postea urbis episcopus, plurimo labore, corruptam jam Bibliothecam Origenis et Pamphili in membranis instaurare conatus est. Ad extremum sub Theodosio principe Ecclesia pulsus est. Feruntur ejus varii multiplicesque tractatus, quos nosse perfacile est.

Εὐζώϊος, παρὰ Θεσπεσίῳ ῥήτορι ἅμα Γρηγορίῳ Ναζιανζοῦ ἐπισκόπῳ νέος ἐν Καισαρείᾳ φοιτήσας, καὶ ὕστερον τῆς αὐτῆς πόλεως ἐπίσκοπος, πολλῷ πόνῳ φθαρεῖσαν ἤδη τὴν Ὠριγένους καὶ Παμφίλου βιβλιοθήκην, ἐν σωματίοις ἀνανεῶσαι ἐπεχείρησεν. Καὶ ὕστερον ἐπὶ Θεοδοσίου βασιλέως τῆς Ἐκκλησίας ἐξεώθη. Φέρονται τούτου πολλαὶ καὶ πλεῖσται ὁμιλίαι, αἷς ἐστι ῥᾴδιον ἐντυχεῖν.
