This Pamphilius was an elder of the church at
Cesarea, and a very eloquent, learned and godly
man. It is stated of him that after much suffering
and tribulation he underwent the conflict of martyrdom,
177
for the name of Christ, and was thus numbered
among the heroes of the bloody banner of
Jesus Christ. It appears that he was a special friend
of Eusebius Pamphilius, so that some are of the
opinion, that the latter took his surname Pamphilius
from him. This much is certain, that he wrote the
following concerning him, as ancient authors have
informed us: “Among those who were variously
afflicted and vexed, and kept in chains and bonds
at Cesarea, by Urban, the Proconsul of Palestine,
was also Pamphilius, my most faithful friend, who
probably was the chiefest martyr of our time, and
the most celebrated in all manner of virtue and godliness.”
A. Mell., 1st book, fol. 124, col. 3, 4, from
Eusebius and Jerome, compared with J. Gys.,
fol. 26, col. 4.
