At Doliche in Syria, Saint Eusebius, bishop of Samosata, who, in the time of the Arian emperor Constantius, in military dress and unrecognized, visited the Churches of God to confirm them in the Catholic faith. Afterward, under the emperor Valens, he was banished to Thrace; but, when peace had been restored to the Church, he was recalled from exile in the time of the reign of Theodosius. At last, while he was again visiting the Churches, his head was shattered by a tile cast down upon him from above by an Arian woman, and he fell asleep a martyr.
