_Felix_ being dead, _Eutychianus_ was chosen in his room in the very Beginning of the Year 275[490]. Several Things are said of him, by _Anastasius_, and other Writers of no Authority; but all I can learn of the Antients concerning him is, that he governed Eight Years, and Eleven Months[491]; and consequently died in the Close of the Year 283. He is honoured by the Church of _Rome_ as a Martyr, and said in the _Roman_ Martyrology to have suffered under _Numerian_; but it is certain that in 283. when _Eutychianus_ died, _Numerian_ was not Emperor, but only _Cæsar_, and at that very time engaged with his Father _Carus_ in a War with the _Persians_ in the East, where he was assassinated by _Aper_ his Father-in-Law. As for his Brother _Carinus_, who remained in the West, neither he, nor the two preceding Emperors, _Tacitus_ and _Probus_, ever gave the least Disturbance to the Christians; so that the Church of _Rome_ must be at the Trouble of finding out a distinct Place in Heaven from that of the Martyrs for _Eutychianus_, _Trophimus_, _Sabbacius_, and the illustrious Senator _Dorymedon_, who are supposed to have suffered under those Princes. ----- Footnote 490: Euseb. l. 7. c. 32.
