We translate the chronicle of Eusebius according to Jerome’s account, starting only from the Nativity of Christ, bearing in mind theological and church-historical interest, which the previous part of the chronicle does not represent. On the same basis, we consider it possible to omit in the translation the chronological indication of the years from Abraham, according to the Olympiads and according to the years of the reign of the kings of Judah (before the destruction of Jerusalem) and limit ourselves to Christian chronology. Asterisks indicate testimony of dubious authenticity that is found in all lists of the chronicle according to the presentation of the bl. Jerome. Note Editorials. Cibalis is a city in Pannonia. Orosius, Socrates, Kedrin and other historians justify this act of Constantine by the fact that Licinius wanted to cause indignation against Constantine. Similar circumstances forced Constantine to carry out other executions of close people, which are mentioned under the year 329. You might be interested in:
