usual with * 1.1 men to frame stories of things they are ignorant of. And if at any time they have got∣ten an occasion, they spread greater Rumours con∣cerning the things they have a mind to, being al∣ways extreamly desirous of changes and alterati∣ons. This was the case of Constantinople at that time. For some framed and divulged one thing con∣cerning the War which was waged at that great distance, others another; always presuming upon the worst event of affairs. And when nothing of action had hapned in the War, as if themselves had been Spectatours upon the very Spot, they discour∣sed concerning things which they knew not: [to wit,] that the Tyrant had gotten a victory over the Emperours Army, that thus many were slain on this side, and so many on that; and that the Emperour was just upon falling into the Tyrants hands. Then the Arians, at that time highly incensed, (for they were sorely vext, because those that had been persecuted by them hereto∣fore, were now in possession of the Churches within the City:) began to enlarge the Re∣ports. But afterwards, some of the stories that were told, induced even the Coyners themselves of these false rumours to believe, that the reports they had framed and divulged, were not feigned, but undoubtedly true. For, such persons as had taken them up upon here-say, affirmed to the authours of these lies, that the account of affairs was exactly agreeable to what they had heard from themselves. Whereupon, the Arians became emboldened, brake out into an irrational vio∣lence; threw fire into the Pallace of Nectarius the Bishop, and burnt it. This was done in Theodosius's second Consulate, [which he bore] with Cynegius.
