"[In 361 A.D.]...he summoned to the palace the Christian bishops, who were far from being of one mind, together with their flocks, who were no less divided by schism, and warned them in polite terms to lay aside their differences and allow every man to practise his belief boldly without hindrance.... Experience had taught him that no wild beasts are such dangerous enemies to man as Christians are to one another."-Ammianus Marcellinus, XXII, 5.
