CHAP. XXXV. That the Emperour, by reason of his care and sol∣licitude about a War with the Goths, remitted something of his Persecution against the Chri∣stians.

FOr, the Barbarians having been put into pos∣session of Thracia, and quietly enjoying that Roman Province, could not [with moderation] bear their fortunate success: but enter upon a War against those who had been their Bene∣factours, and subverted all places throughout Thracia and the adjoyning Countries. These things falling out after this manner, came to Valens's hearing, and made him desist from ba∣nishing those that embraced the Homoöusian Opi∣nion. For, being troubled at this news, he left Antioch forthwith, and came to Constantinople. Upon the same account also, the War [he had waged] against the Christians in that City, was finished. Moreover, at the same time Eu∣zoïus, Bishop of the Arian faction at An∣tioch, departed this life, in the fifth Consulate of Valens, and in Valentinianus Juniors's first. And Dorotheus is constituted [Bishop] in his place.
