Abstract
Some of the Greek fragments that Nicetas of Heraclea attributed to Eusebius of Caesarea’s Theophania lack parallels in the intact Syriac translation of the work. Many of the Greek fragments that lack a Syriac counterpart were not in fact authored by Eusebius of Caesarea, for their themes, vocabulary and style are not characteristic of him. Rather, most of them were authored by Eusebius of Emesa, and were wrongly attributed to the bishop of Caesarea through name confusion in the catenae lemmata. At least two Greek fragments missing in the Syriac version were authored by Eusebius of Caesarea. This suggests that the Syriac translator may have used a version of Theophania that abbreviated parts of the original.
