[1] The following note about
Eunapius is abridged from the introduction to the translation of
Eusebius'
Life of Constantine in the on-line edition of
Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, Ser. II, Vol. I at CCEL (web address 1): "(22)
Eunapius (Anti-Christian) (ab. 347-414) ... was born at
Sardis about 347, and died after 414 a.d. (cf. Müller, Fragm. 87 [Blockley,
Eunapius fr. 72, 1-2]). He was a teacher of rhetoric, and besides this work wrote a continuation of the history of
Dexippus, extending from 270-404 a.d. Fragments of this are preserved, but none relating to Constantine.
Photius (Cod. 77) says that he calumniated the Christians, especially Constantine. ... Much of his history is supposed to be incorporated in
Zosimus, and this gives importance to his name, weight to
Zosimus, and light on the hostile position of
Zosimus towards Constantine."
[2] That is, for Constantine.
