The source

Eusebius in Latin, and then Rufinus himself. Books I–IX are his translation of Eusebius — abridged, and with Eusebius's own tenth book folded into the ninth — so a citation there is Eusebius through Rufinus rather than Rufinus. Books X and XI are his own continuation, carrying the story from Nicaea to the death of Theodosius in 395, and they are the earliest surviving narrative of Helena finding the Cross (X.7–8), of Frumentius and Edesius carried off to Axum and the conversion of the Ethiopians (X.9–10), of Nino winning the Iberians (X.11), and of the destruction of the Serapeum at Alexandria (XI.22–23).
