Epiphanius relates Hæres. lxxiii.
§ 37. that
“after these three had been set up, and could do nothing on
account of mutual contentions,” Euzoius was appointed by the
Arians, and held the See until the accession of Theodosius in
a.d. 379, when he was deposed, and Gelasius
restored. In the meantime Cyril had been a third time deposed and
driven from Jerusalem, probably in the year 367. For at that time
Valens, who had fallen under the influence of Eudoxius, the Arian
Bishop of Constantinople, by whom he was baptized, “wrote to the
Governors of the provinces, commanding that all Bishops who had been
banished by Constantius, and had again assumed their sacerdotal offices
under the Emperor Julian, should be ejected from their
Churches Sozom. vi. 12.
Cf. Tillemont, Mémoires, Tom. viii. p. 357: “As
Cyril was, no doubt, then persecuted only on account of his firmness in
the true Faith, the title of Confessor cannot be refused to
him.”.” Of this third and longest
banishment we have no particulars, but we may safely apply to it the
words of the Synod at Constantinople, 382, that Cyril “ had
passed through very many contests with the Arians in various
places.”
