Book V, Chapter 15. The Schism of Blastus at Rome

1 section

Eusebius of Caesarea

Others, of whom Florinus was chief, flourished at Rome. He fell from the presbyterate of the Church, and Blastus was involved in a similar fall. They also drew away many of the Church to their opinion, each striving to introduce his own innovations in respect to the truth.
