Description: Eusebius of Caesarea depicted as a Saint with a Halo alongside Carpianus, whom he wrote a letter to concerning harmonization of the Gospels, which he holds in his hands while Carpianus is depicted as a priest or bishop with a hand-cross. The manuscript is Ethiopian and the text on top is Ge'ez. The top text lists their names so we can identify this is indeed Eusebius and Carpianus. Date of manuscript unknown.
