Editing Paul of Samosata (section)

=== Eusebius' account ===
Another major source of information we have of Paul of Samosata comes from Eusebius of Caesarea, who described some of the doctrines and practices Paul displayed openly, which included:
* Receiving money for his religious services,<ref>Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Ecclesiastical History'', Book vii, Chapter xxx, Section 7.</ref> as well as paying others to preach his doctrines;<ref name="ReferenceA">Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Ecclesiastical History'', Book vii, Chapter xxx, Section 12.</ref>
* Preferring to be called an imperial procurator of queen Zenobia, rather than bishop;<ref>Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Ecclesiastical History'', Book vii, Chapter xxx, Section 8.</ref>
* He stopped the production of psalms to Christ, and trained women to sing psalms to himself<ref>Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Ecclesiastical History'', Book vii, Chapter xxx, Section 10.</ref> as an angel come down from heaven.<ref>Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Ecclesiastical History'', Book vii, Chapter xxx, Section 11.</ref>

Likewise, Eusebius hints to the fact that Paul was "too familiar" with his women followers,<ref>Eusebius of Caesarea, ''Ecclesiastical History'', Book vii, Chapter xxx, Section 13.</ref> whom he called "[[Syneisaktism|subintroductae]]".<ref name="ReferenceA"/>
