Excerpt from Historical Tracts of S. Athanasius, Archbishop of Alexandria: Translated, With Notes and Indices It is certain, that both the Eusebians and the Egyptian Bishops had recourse to Rome; that Athanasius went thither; that a synodal judgment was passed there; and that Legates went from S. J ulius to Antioch; but the order and dates of these events are variouslv determined. For the sake of perspicuity, it will be necessary in the first place to take a view of the transactions to which dates are to be assigned; though it is impossible to do so, without prejudging some of the questions in dispute.
