Eusebius (correspondent of Isidore of Pelusium)

Eusebius is known only as a correspondent of Isidore of Pelusium (d. c. 450) and figures in his letters as a bishop at Pelusium, in the eastern Nile Delta, during the early-to-mid 5th century. Across the twelve letters addressed to him Isidore writes overwhelmingly to rebuke rather than to instruct: he charges Eusebius with simony (selling ordinations and the laying-on of hands for money), with extortion of the poor, with packing the clergy with kinsmen and household servants, and with building a splendid church in Pelusium out of unjust gains. The letters name his associates in this corruption (Pansophius the archdeacon, Maron the steward, the magistrate Cyrenius) and warn him of divine judgment, though a handful instead expound Scripture to him (on the Ark and Mercy-seat, on "let your loins be girded"). He is otherwise unattested outside this correspondence.
