Eleusios
Adler number: epsilon,813
Translated headword: Eleusios, Eleusius
Vetting Status: high
Translation: "[Eleusius] and Marathonius: they were one from Cyzicus and the other from Constantinople, not approaching such a level in speaking ability that something great and brilliant from it could move crowds, but in austerity of life and moulding of their habits to moderation, of such ability that they too drew crowds around them which were not at all small, collecting populous monasteries of both men and women; and not least they attracted to themselves a crowd of many others of those who considered plain living and hardy training in daily life the most self-sufficient evidence of piety."

Notes:
The source of this material, also in part at
alpha 2405,
kappa 991, and
omicron 981, is unidentifiable. (The parallels with Salminius
Hermias Sozomenus,
Historia ecclesiastica 4.20 (web address 1) are very broad.) Adler registers the fact that it has been attributed to
Damascius'
Life of Isidore (as fr. 298 in Asmus -- who subsequently, she notes [addenda], attributed it to
Eunapius); ignored by Zintzen.
Eleusios and Marathonios were bishops of Cyzicus and Nicomedia respectively, and associates of Macedonius in the Semi-Arian party (mid 4th century). See the Catholic Encyclopedia under Semiarians (web address 2) and Pneumatomachoi (web address 3).
