Read the _Ecclesiastical History_ of Salamanus Hermeias Sozomen,[88]
in nine books. Dedicated to the emperor Theodosius the Younger, it
begins with the consulship of Crispus and his father Constantine, and
goes down to the reign of Theodosius the Younger.[89] Sozomen was at
one time an advocate in Constantinople. His style is better than that
of Socrates, from whom he differs in certain particulars.
