155. Lactantius de M. P. c. 13, 14 [14, 15]. Potentissimi
quondam Eunuchi necati, per quos Palatium et ipse constabat.
Eusebius (1. viii. c. 6) mentions the cruel executions of
the eunuchs Gorgonius and Dorotheus, and of Anthimus bishop
of Nicomedia; and both those writers describe, in a vague
but tragical manner, the horrid scenes which were acted even
in the Imperial presence.
