CHAP. XI. How the Emperour Julianus exacted money from the Christians.
BUt, the Emperour Julianus, having at the beginning of his Reign shown himself mild and gratious to all persons, in process of time did not demonstrate himself to be of such a like temper towards every one. For whenever there hapned any occasion of calumniating Constantius, he most readily granted the Christians requests. But when no such [reflections] were to be made, he made all men apparently sensible of that pri∣vate hatred which he had conceived against the Christians in general. Forthwith therefore he issues out an Order, that the Church of the No∣vatians in Cyzicum, which had been totally de∣molished by a 1.1Euzoius, should be rebuilt; impo∣sing a most burthensome penalty upon Eleusius Bi∣shop of that City, if he did not perfect that buil∣ding at his own charge within the space of two months. He also promoted gentilism with his ut∣most endeavour. And (as we have said before) he opened the Pagan Temples. Yea, he himself did publickly offer sacrifice to the Genius of the City Constantinople in the b 1.2Basilica, where the image of the Publick Genius was erected.
Notes
a 1.1
It must be [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, by Euleu••ius] as 'tis ap∣parent from the following words. So Christophor∣son found the reading to be, as is evident from his Version. See Sozomen. Vales.
He means I suppose, that Basilica [or Cathedral] which was in the fourth Ward of the City Constantinople. For this was simply and absolutely called The Cathedral. The other was termed the Theodosian Cathedral, which stood in the seventh Ward of the City, as we are informed from The old description of that City. In the former Basilica therefore, the Image of the City Constantinople's publick Genius had heretofore been placed. For so these words of Socrates [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉] must be rendred. For the Greeks do usually call that 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, which the Latines term Genius; and 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 are the Temples of the publick Genius; see Euseb. book concerning the Martyrs of Pale∣stine, chap. 11. note (q.)
