The Lausiac History

NOTES ON PALLADIUS.

Concerning Pinianus. original: "περὶ Ὀππιανοῦ" (peri Oppianou). Meursius argues this is a corruption of the name Pinianus.

Likewise also Oppianus original: "ὁμοίως καὶ Ὀππιανὸς" (homoiōs kai Oppianos)] One should write: But Pinianus original: "ὁ δὲ Πινιανός" (ho de Pinianos). In the Table of Contents for this chapter, it should also be written: Concerning Pinianus. In the manuscript used by Hervetus Gentian Hervet (1499–1584), a French humanist and translator., it seems it was: Concerning Opianus. Likewise: Likewise also Opianus. Both are incorrect.

Concerning Macarius and Constantine.

From the vicariate original: "ἀπὸ βικαρίας" (apo bikarias)] A vicaria is a Vicariatus The office or district of a vicar, a high-ranking administrative official in the late Roman Empire.. See our Glossary on this term.

The best law of the state

The indefinite law of the state original: "τὸν ἀόριστον τῆς πολιτείας θεσμὸν" (ton aoriston tēs politeias thesmon)] One should write: The best law of the state Meursius suggests a correction from aoriston (indefinite/unlimited) to ariston (best), a common scribal error in Greek..

Concerning the virgin who received the blessed Athanasius.

See also Sozomenus A 5th-century historian of the Christian Church., book 5, chapter 6, and Nicephorus Nicephorus Callistus Xanthopulus, a 14th-century church historian., book 10, chapter 6.

The whole clergy original: "ὁ κλῆρος ἅπας" (ho klēros hapas)] See our Glossary regarding this term.

By Eusebius, who was the provost at that time under King Constantius original: "δι’ Εὐσεβίου τοῦ κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν πραιποσίτου ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίου τοῦ βασιλέως" (di’ Eusebiou tou kata ton kairon praipositou epi Kōnstantiou tou basileōs)] This is Eusebius the eunuch, whom Athanasius himself mentions in his Letter to the Solitaries. Ammianus Ammianus Marcellinus, a 4th-century Roman soldier and historian. names him in book 14: Truly, diligent effort was devoted to this, and once it was reported, Eusebius, the Grand Chamberlain of the bedchamber, was sent to Chalon-sur-Saône. Later, he was put to death by Julian. Nicephorus says in book 10, chapter 5: He also expelled the eunuchs from the Imperial court. Furthermore, he even punished with death Eusebius, who had held the primary position there. Sozomenus writes in book 5, chapter 5: He punished with death Eusebius, the chief of the royal court. original: "Εὐσέβιον δὲ, τὸν μείζονα τῆς βασιλικῆς αὐλῆς, θανάτῳ ἐζημίωσε." Ammianus writes in book 22: Eusebius regarding these matters,
