Caesarea Maritima is indirectly attested at Jerome, Chronicle 172i-173b. This passage was written ca. 380-381 C.E. possibly in Constantinople. St. Jerome undertook to write a universal history of the world early in his illustrious career. His work translated and annotated the second half of Eusebius’ work, finished over a half century earlier, which was organized into a tabulated concordance of chronological schemes (χρονικοὶ κανόνες) ranging from Abraham to Constantine I; he continued Eusebius in the same format with his own historical compendium for the years 327-378 C.E. This passage from Jerome’s translation of Eusebius records the appointment of Pontius Pilate to the governorship of Judaea by Tiberius.
