Καισαρείας τῆς Παλαιστίνης

, and

Caesarea Palestinae

are directly attested at Unknown, Suda ε 3737. This passage was written ca. 976-990 C.E. possibly in Constantinople. The Suda (“Stronghold”) is an encyclopedic lexicon written by an unknown scholar during the late 10th century. It compiles copious information in alphabetical entries for use by the learned philologist, in particular on grammar, history, and biography, referring to a broad range of sources from Classical Antiquity to the Early Byzantine period. This lemma on Eusebius (s.v. Εὐσέβιος) records his voluminous writings at the Ecclesiastical Library in Caesarea during the 4th century. Here the author depends on the universal history written by Hesychius of Miletus roughly 400 years earlier.

Εὐσέβιος, ὁ Παμφίλου, προσκείμενος τῇ Ἀρειανικῇ αἱρέσει, ἐπίσκοπος Καισαρείας τῆς Παλαιστίνης, σπουδαῖος ἐν ταῖς θείαις γραφαῖς καὶ τῆς θείας βιβλιοθήκης ἅμα Παμφίλῳ τῷ μάρτυρι ἐπιμελέστατος ἀνιχνευτής. ἐξέδωκε πολλὰ τεύχη, ὧν εἰσι τάδε: Εὐαγγελικῆς ἀποδείξεως λόγοι κʹ, Εὐαγγελικῆς προπαρασκευῆς λόγοι ιεʹ, Θεοφανείας λόγοι εʹ, Ἐκκλησιαστικῆς ἱστορίας λόγοι ιʹ, Χρονικῶν κανόνων παντοδαπῆς ἱστορίας, καὶ τούτων ἐπιτομή. καὶ Περὶ τῆς τῶν Εὐαγγελίων διαφωνίας, Εἰς τὸν προφήτην Ἠσαί̈αν λόγοι ιʹ. Κατὰ Πορφυρίου τοῦ τότε συγγράφοντος ἐν Σικελίᾳ, ὥς τινες οἴονται, λόγοι λʹ. Τοπικῶν λόγος εἷς, Ἀπολογίας ὑπὲρ Ὠριγένους λόγοι ϛʹ, Περὶ τοῦ βίου Παμφίλου λόγοι γʹ. περὶ μαρτύρων ἕτερα συγγράμματα: καὶ εἰς τοὺς ρνʹ ψαλμοὺς δεδοκιμασμένα ὑπομνήματα, καὶ ἕτερα πολλά. ἤνθησε μάλιστα ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίνου τοῦ βασιλέως καὶ Κωνσταντίου, καὶ διὰ τὴν φιλίαν τὴν πρὸς Πάμφιλον μάρτυρα τῆς ἐπωνυμίας αὐτοῦ ἠξιώθη. Εὐσέβιος ὁ Παμφίλου: οὗτος ὁ Εὐσέβιος ἔγραψε καὶ πρὸς Μαρῖνον, ἐν ᾧ λέγει, ὅτι ἡ Χριστοῦ ἐκκλησία δύο βίους νομοθετεῖ καὶ τρόπους: τὸν μὲν ὑπερφυᾶ καὶ τῆς ἀνθρωπίνης πολιτείας ἐπέκεινα, οἷος ἐστὶν ὁ μοναδικός: τὸν δὲ ὑποβεβηκότα καὶ ἀνθρωπινώτερον, ὃς καὶ γάμοις ὑποτίθεται συγκοινωνεῖν.

Eusebius, (called) son of Pamphilus, inclined to the Arian heresy, bishop of Caesarea Palestinae, zealous in the Divine Scriptures, and diligent researcher with Pamphilus the martyr at the Divine Library. He published many volumes, among which are the following: Proof of the Gospel in 20 books; Preparation for the Gospel in 15 books; Theophany in 5 books; Church History in 10 books; Chronological Canons of Universal History and their Epitome. Also Differences between the Gospels; On the Prophet Isaiah in 10 books; Against Porphyry (the one who was then writing in Sicily, as some think) in 30 books; Topics in a single book; Apology for Origen in 6 books; On the Life of Pamphilus in 3 books; other compositions concerning martyrs; approved Commentaries on the 150 Psalms; and many other works. He flourished most notably in the reigns of the emperors Constantine and Constantius; and, because of his friendship with the martyr Pamphilus, he was found worthy of bearing his name. Eusebius the son of Pamphilus: this Eusebius also wrote To Marinus, in which he says that the Church of Christ prescribes two lives and thus two directions: the one extraordinary and beyond everyday society, such as is the monastic life. The other, inferior and mundane by comparison, which also presupposes participation in marriage. [Rev. SOL (trans. C. Roth et al., 2002-)]
