THE Emperor Valens, little affected by the calamities resulting
from the famine, went to Antioch in Syria, and during his residence
there cruelly persecuted such as would not embrace Arianism. For not
content with ejecting out of almost all the churches of the East those
who maintained the 'homoousian' opinion, he inflicted on them various
punishments besides. He destroyed a greater number even than before,
delivering them up to many different kinds of death, but especially
drowning in the river.
