Book IX narrates the renewed anti-Christian policy under Maximinus Daia, propaganda, famine and war, and the victories of Constantine and Licinius over rival rulers. Eusebius leans heavily on Yosephus or inherited chronological records, preserving concrete reports while interpreting them through his own conviction that catastrophe and covenantal history were connected. In this reconstruction the chapter coordinate is preserved as Book 9, Chapter 8, and the full subject is retained under the heading 'Famine, Pestilence, and War'. Names, dates, quoted-source relationships, and political or textual function are kept distinct from Eusebius's own interpretive claims.
