From Cæsarea Basil went to Constantinople, and there studied rhetoric and philosophy with success.  Socrates Ecc. Hist. iv. 26. and Sozomen Ecc. Hist. vi. 17. say that he worked at Antioch under Libanius.  It may be that both these writers have confounded Basil of Cæsarea with the Basil to whom Chrysostom dedicated his De Sacerdotio, and who was perhaps the bishop of Raphanea, who signed the creed of Constantinople.
