81 Eusebius the bishop PL 23, 689
Eusebius bishop of Cæsarea in Palestine was diligent in the study of Divine Scriptures and with Pamphilus the martyr a most diligent investigator of the Holy Bible. He published a great number of volumes among which are the following: Demonstrations of the Gospel twenty books, Preparations for the Gospel fifteen books, Theophanyfive books, Church history ten books, Chronicle of Universal history and an Epitome of this last. Also On discrepancies between the Gospels, On Isaiah, ten books, also Against Porphyry, who was writing at that same time in Sicily as some think, twenty-five books, also one book of Topics, six books of Apology for Origen, three books On the life of Pamphilus, other brief works On the martyrs, exceedingly learned Commentaries on one hundred and fifty Psalms, and many others. He flourished chiefly in the reigns of Constantine the Great and Constantius. His surname Pamphilus arose from his friendship for Pamphilus the martyr.
Eusebius, Caesareae Palaestinae episcopus in Scripturis divinis studiosissimus, et Bibliothecae divinae, cum Pamphilo martyre, diligentissimus pervestigator, edidit infinita volumina. De quibus haec sunt: Εὐαγγελικῆς Ἀποδείξεως 921 libri viginti, Εὐαγγελικῆς Προπαρασκευῆς libri quindecim, Θεοφανείας libri quinque, Ecclesiasticae historiae libri decem, Chronicorum Canonum omnimoda historia, et eorum Ἐπιτομὴ, et de Evangeliorum Diaphonia, in Isaiam libri decem, et contra Porphyrium, qui eodem tempore scribebat in Sicilia, ut quidam putant, libri triginta, de quibus ad me viginti tantum pervenerunt; Τοπικῶν liber unus, Ἀπολογίας pro Origene libri sex, de Vita Pamphili libri tres, de Martyribus alia opuscula, et in centum quinquaginta psalmos eruditissimi commentarii, et multa alia. Floruit maxime sub Constantino imperatore et Constantio, et ob amicitiam Pamphili martyris, ab eo cognomentum sortitus est.
Εὐσέβιος, Καισαρείας Παλαιστίνης ἐπίσκοπος, ἐν ταῖς θείαις Γραφαῖς σπουδαῖος, καὶ τῆς θείας Βιβλιοθήκης ἅμα Παμφίλῳ τῷ μάρτυρι, ἐπιμελέστατος ἀνιχνευτὴς, ἐξέδωκε πολλὰ τεύχη, ὧν εἰσι τάδε· Εὐαγγελικῆς ἀποδείξεως λόγοι εἴκοσι, Εὐαγγελικῆς προδείξεως παρασκευῆς λόγοι δέκα καὶ πέντε, 922 Θεοφανείας λόγοι πέντε. Ἐκκλησιαστικῆς ἱστορίας λόγοι δέκα, Χρονικῶν κανόνων παντοδαπῆς ἱστορίας, καὶ τούτων ἐπιτομὴ. Περὶ τῆς Εὐαγγελίων διαφωνίας, εἰς Ἠσαΐαν λόγοι δέκα, κατὰ Πορφυρίου, τοῦ τότε συγγράφοντος ἐν Σικελίᾳ, ὥς τινες οἴονται, λόγοι τριάκοντα, ἀφ' ὧν εἰς ἐμὲ λόγοι εἴκοσι μόνον περιῆλθον. Τοπιαῶν λόγος εἷς. Ἀπολογίας ὑπὲρ Ὠριγένους λόγοι ἓξ, περὶ τοῦ βίου Παμφίλου λόγοι τρεῖς, περὶ μαρτύρων ἕτερα συγγράμματα καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἑκατὸν καὶ πεντήκοντα ψαλμοὺς δεδοκιμασμένα ὑπομνήματα, καὶ ἔτερα πολλὰ. Ἤνθησε μάλιστα ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίνου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ Κωνσταντίου, καὶ διὰ τὴν φιλίαν τὴν πρὸς Πάμφιλον τὸν μάρτυρα, τῇ ἐπωνυμίᾳ αὐτοῦ ἑκλήθη.
