Chapter V.—Of Lucifer and Eusebius.

About the same time Lucifer and Eusebius ⁴⁷² were by an imperial order, recalled from banishment out of the Upper Thebaïs; the former being bishop of Carala, a city of Sardinia, the latter of Vercellæ, a city of the Ligurians in Italy, as I have said ⁴⁷³ previously. These two prelates therefore consulted together on the most effectual means of preventing the neglected canons ⁴⁷⁴ and discipline of the church from being in future violated and despised.
