| ID | Title | E02019 | Gregory of Tours, in his Histories (2.3), describes a dispute in the time of Huneric, the Vandal king of Africa (r. 477-484), between the Arian bishop Cyrola and the bishop of Carthage *Eugenius (bishop of Carthage, exiled by the Vandals to Albi in Gaul, ob. 505, S00334), supported by *Vindimialis (bishop and martyr of Vandal Africa, S01142) and *Longinus (bishop in Vandal Africa, S01143).
