Eusebius, at the time of his election an unbaptized layman, was elevated to the throne of Cæsarea on the death of Dianius in 362.  In this case too it was due to the counsels of the elder Gregory that the objections both of Eusebius and of the bishops, forced by the opposing party to consecrate him, were finally overcome.  It was he who ordained Basil to the presbyterate and chafed against the ascendancy of his more able and brilliant subordinate.
