Kirchengeschichte (BKV)
15. Kap. Die durch Blastus veranlaßte Spaltung in Rom.
Die anderen erhoben sich zu Rom. An ihrer Spitze standen Florinus, der das kirchliche Priesteramt niedergelegt hatte, und neben ihm Blastus, der in gleicher Weise abgefallen war. Diese hatten noch mehrere von der Kirche abwendig gemacht und zu sich hinübergezogen. Bezüglich der Wahrheit suchte jeder eigene, neue Wege zu gehen.

The Church History of Eusebius
Chapter XV.--The Schism of Blastus at Rome. 1
Others, of whom Florinus 2 was chief, flourished at Rome. He fell from the presbyterate of the Church, and Blastus was involved in a similar fall. They also drew away many of the Church to their opinion, each striving to introduce his own innovations in respect to the truth.

The separation of chaps. 14 and 15 is unfortunate. They are closely connected (hoi men in chap. 14 and hoi de in chap. 15), and constitute together a general introduction to the following chapters, Montanism being treated in chaps. 16 to 19, and the schism of Florinus and Blastus in chap. 20. ↩
