There is no
other mention in Basil’s letters of Eustathius being guilty of
re-ordination. The Ben. note, however, states that Basil is
not accurate in saying that there was no heretical precedent for
such proceedings. The Arians are charged with it in the Book
of Prayers of Faustus and Marcellinus, Bib. Patr.v.

Ethiopians against Frumentius. Athan., Apol. ad
Const. § 31.
