Certain heretics in the fourth century, whose founder was Eudoxius, bishop of Antioch, and afterwards of Constantinople. They adhered to the errors of the Aëtians and Eunomians, affirming the Son to be differently affected in his will from the Father , and made of nothing. EULOGIÆ. ( Gr. ) So the Greek Church calls the Panis benedictus , or bread, over which a ble ing is pronounced, and which is distributed to those who are unqualified to communicate. The name Eulogiæ was likewise anciently given to the consecrated pieces of bread which the bishops and priests sent to each other for the keeping up a friendly correspondence: those presents likewise, which were made out of respect or obligation, were called Eulogiæ . St. Paul in us, bishop of Nola, about the end of the fourth century, having sent five Eulogiæ at one time to Roman i an, speaks to him in these terms: “That I may not be wanting in the duties of brotherly love, I send you five pieces of bread, of the ammunition of the warfare of Jesus Christ , under whose standard we fight, following the laws of temperance and sobriety.”
