112. Contra religionem sacramenti Thessalonicae privatus
occisus est. Eutropius, x. 6 [4]; and his evidence is
confirmed by Jerome (in Chronic.), as well as by Zosimus, 1.
ii. [c. 28] p. 102. The Valesian writer is the only one who
mentions the soldiers, and it is Zonaras alone who calls in
the assistance of the senate. Eusebius prudently slides over
this delicate transaction. But Sozomen, a century
afterwards, ventures to assert the treasonable practices of
Licinius.
