⭐ Core Definition: Euzoius of Caesarea

Euzoius of Caesarea (Greek: Ευζώιος, romanizedEuzōios; fl. AD 373–379) was a Christian theologian and bishop of the 4th century.

In Jerome's De viris illustribus, he writes that Euzoius was educated alongside Gregory of Nazianzus by "Thespesius the rhetorician" at Caesarea Maritima. In 373 Euzoius became Bishop of Caesarea and he worked to restore its library, copying many papyrus works to parchment. He was expelled from the church during the reign of Theodosius I (r. 379–395). He wrote several treatises, none of which survives.

👉 Euzoius of Caesarea in the context of Gelasius of Caesarea

Gelasius of Caesarea (Greek: Γελάσιος Καισαρείας; died 395) was bishop of Caesarea Maritima from 367 to 373 and from 379 to his death. He was also an author, though none of his work survives.

Gelasius participated in the First Council of Constantinople in 381. He was forced to surrender his position as bishop to the semi-Arianist Euzoius of Caesarea between the years of 373 and 379, because in matters of Christology he was a staunch Nicaean.
