Chapter IV
.—
On the
Death of George, Athanasius returns to Alexandria, and takes Possession
of his See.
Not
long after this, Athanasius
returning from his exile, was received with great joy by the people of
Alexandria. They expelled at that time the Arians from the churches,
and restored Athanasius to the possession of them. The Arians meanwhile
assembling themselves in low and obscure buildings, ordained Lucius to
supply the place of George. Such was the state of things at that time
at Alexandria.
