A sixth-century author from this city synthesized its history with Biblical narrative in an unreliable 18-book Chronographia written in unusually simple language. Pseudo-Martyrius recounts how a man originally from this city refused to spend Church money on feasts and entertainment, leading him to be exiled twice after quarrels with Empress Eudoxia. (-5[1])After (-5[1])an abortive attempt at living on Mount (-5[1])Silpios by this city, (-5[1])(*) John Chrysostom (-5[1])began his preaching in it. (10[1]-5[1])Irritation (10[1])at the decadence of this city's Christians prompted Julian (-5[1])the Apostate to write his Misopogon. (10[2])This city’s (-5[1])Patriarch, (10[1])along with those of Alexandria, (10[1])Constantinople, (10[1])Rome, and Jerusalem, (10[5])formed the (10[1])Pentarchy. (10[3])For 10 (10[1])points, name this city which also served as the capital of the Seleucid Empire and Roman (-5[1])Syria. (10[1])■END■ (10[5]0[4])
