Extract

Eusebius answers the question in the affirmative, but gives this answer as an inference from facts which he shares with his readers. This is in H. E. iv. 22, when he is in fact taking leave of him. He has made important use of Hegesippus in Books ii, iii, and iv of his Historia Ecclesiastica.
