CHAP. XIV. That the Arians, having removed Gregorius from [the See of] Alexandria, put Georgius into his place.
AT the same time the Ariansa 1.1 removed Gregorius from [the See of] Alexandria,b 1.2 as being a person odious, both upon account of his burning the Church, and also because he was not zealous enough in defending their opinion. Into his See they sent Georgius, a person born in Cappadocia, who had gotten the repu••e of being a very skillfull maintainer of their tenets.
Notes
a 1.1
Socrates mistakes here also. For Grego∣rius (who was created Bishop of A∣lexandria in the Synod of Antioch) held that Bishoprick six years, untill the Council of Serdica: in which he was deposed, and excommunicated, as it is related in the Synodical Epistle of that Council. And when he had survived this sentence about six months, he died, as Athanasius attests, in Epistol. ad Soli••ar. Theodoret has corrected this mistake of Socrates's and Sozomon's, in book 2. of his Eccles. Hist. Georgius was made Bishop of Alexandria by the Arians long after Gregorius, in the year of Christ 356. Vales.
This place was corrupted by a transposition of the words; which gave translatours an occasion of mistaking here. But the words might have been easily put into their order, after this manner; 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c. as being a person odious, both upon account of his burning the Church; and also because, &c. Socrates does here assign two reasons, why the Arians deprived Gregorius of his Bishoprick. The first is, because Gre∣gorius was a person hated by all men, upon account of his burning Dionysius's Church; which Socrates has mentioned before; Atha∣nasius also takes notice of it, in Epist. ad solitar. The other rea∣son is, because he seemed not zealous enough in defending their opinion. The same is confirmed by Sozomen, book 3. chap. 7. Eccles. Hist. Vales.
