Life

Venerable Eusebius of Antioch was a monk of Syria, probably born at Antioch, nephew of the abbot Marinus who founded the monastery of Coryphe between Antioch and Beroea. After his uncle's death he became abbot in his place. The strictness of his ascetic life made him known as a holy man, and he had many disciples. He died toward the end of the fourth century, and Jacob, a disciple of Venerable Julian Sabas, succeeded him as abbot.
