Eusebius of Caesarea [note 1] (c. AD 260/265 – 30 May AD 339), also known as Eusebius Pamphilius, [note 2] [7] was a Greek [8] Syro-Palestinian [9] historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian polemicist.

Several letters surrounding the council written to or by Eusebius still survive, as do two letters written by him during his exile. In the latter place, Eusebius was dragged through the streets and persecuted in many ways but never gave up the Catholic faith.

Eusebius of Caesarea relates in his Church History (Book III, ch. 11), that after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, the Christians of Jerusalem "all with one consent pronounced Symeon, the son of Clopas, of whom the Gospel also makes mention; to be worthy of the episcopal throne of that parish. He was a cousin, as they say, of the Saviour.
He comments: "This is in fact a very correct representation, if we give each vowel its true Greek sound, of the Hebrew pronunciation of the word Jehovah."
