Apoll. i. 13 ref he was a native of Tyre, Lebanon Tyre , and according to Stephanus of Byzantium , ref Stephanus, Epiphaneia ref of Hama, Syria Epiphania in Syria whereas Eunapius calls him an Egyptians Egyptian . At the time when Pliny the Younger served in Syria c. 81 AD , he became acquainted with Euphrates, and seems to have formed an intimate friendship with him. In one of his letters ref Pliny the Younger, Epistles , i. 10 ref he gives us a detailed account of the virtues and talents of Euphrates blockquote Euphrates is possessed of so many shining talents, that he cannot fail to strike and engage even the somewhat illiterate. He reasons with much force, penetration, and elegance, and frequently embodies all the sublime and luxuriant eloquence of Plato . His style is rich and various, and at the same time so wonderfully sweet, that it seduces the attention of the most unwilling hearer. His outward appearance is agreeable to all the rest he has a tall figure, a comely aspect, long hair, and a large white beard circumstances which though they may probably be thought trifling and accidental, contribute however to gain him much reverence. There is no uncouthness in his manner, which is grave, but not austere and his approach commands respect without creating awe. Distinguished as he is by the sanctity of his life, he is no less so by his polite and affable address. He points his eloquence against the vices, not the persons of mankind, and without chastising reclaims the wanderer. His exhortations so captivate your attention, that you hang as it were upon his lips and even after the heart is convinced, the ear still wishes to listen to the harmonious reasoner. blockquote His great power as an orator is acknowledged also by other contemporaries, ref Epictetus, Discourses , iii. 15, iv. 8 Marcus Aurelius, x. 31 ...   more details

History The American Board of Foreign Missions established 1852 a theological seminary in Harput to educate clergy men for the Armenian Evangelical Church , and expanded it 1859 to American Harput Missionary College . To meet the growing demand for general education in English language, the school s program was extended in 1878, and it was renamed Armenia College . However, after 10 years, the Ottoman Empire Ottoman authorities urged to change the school s name, which became finally Euphrates College . For the building of the college, 140,000 funds were raised from the US Government and 40,000 from the local people in 1875. The facilities at the college consisted of a hospital and an orphanage in addition to a theological seminary and high schools for boys and girls. In 1895, Kurdish people Kurds looted and burned the Armenian villages on the Harput plain, and in the same month the town was attacked and eight of the twelve buildings on the campus were burned down. In 1915 several of the leading Armenian members of the faculty were arrested, tortured, and executed on trumped up charges. The college buildings were then occupied by the Ottoman Military and initially used as training camp, and later as a military hospital. ref Henry H.
