Church History by Eusebius Pamphilius

Chapter XII.--Helen, the Queen of the Osrhoenians.

1. |And at this time it came to pass that the great famine took place in Judea, in which the queen Helen, having purchased grain from Egypt with large sums, distributed it to the needy.|

2. You will find this statement also in agreement with the Acts of the Apostles, where it is said that the disciples at Antioch, |each according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren that dwelt in Judea; which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Paul.|

3. But splendid monuments of this Helen, of whom the historian has made mention, are still shown in the suburbs of the city which is now called Ælia. But she is said to have been queen of the Adiabeni.
