Church History 7.30.16

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

Summary: Since Paul follows the heresy of Artemas, the synod need not judge his morals.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:337

ἀλλὰ ταῦτα μὲν, ὡς προειρήκαμεν, ηὔθυ- “νεν ἄν τις τὸν ἄνδρα, τὸ γοῦν φρόνημα καθολικὸν “ἔχοντα καὶ συγκαταριθμούμενον ἡμῖν, τὸν δὲ ἐξορ- “χησάμενον τὸ μυστήριον καὶ ἐμπομπεύοντα τῇ μιαρᾷ “αἱρέσει τῇ Ἀρτεμᾶ (τί γὰρ οὐ χρὴ μόλις τὸν πατέρα ῾αὐτοῦ δηλῶσαι;) οὐδὲν δεῖν ἡγούμεθα τούτων τοὺς “λογισμοὺς ἀπαιτεῖν.“

English · Claude translation

But these things, as we said before, one might call the man to account for, if he held a catholic mind and were numbered with us; but as for one who has danced away from the mystery and parades himself in the abominable heresy of Artemas (for why should we hesitate to name his father?), we think it unnecessary to demand an account of these things.”
