Eusebius of Caesarea · Church History · ca. 300–325 · Caesarea · Read in context

Summary: Dionysius asks what Germanus ever suffered, then stops his boasting.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:310

ποῦ δὲ Γερμανὸς ‟νη; τίς δὲ περὶ αὐτοῦ λόγος; ἀλλὰ τῆς πολλῆς “ἀφροσύνης, εἰς ἣν ἐμπίπτω διὰ Γερμανόν, ὑφίεμαι, διὸ καὶ τὴν καθʼ ἕκαστον τῶν γενομένων διήγησιν παρίημι τοῖς εἰδόσιν ἀδελφοῖς λέγειν.”

English · Claude translation

But where did Germanus appear? What account is there of him? But I refrain from the great folly into which I am falling because of Germanus; therefore I leave the account of each event to the brothers who know it.”
