One thing is certain about Eusebius--he believed in an exodus of the Jews
from Egypt and seems to have been at one with Artapanus regarding the
details.
See his "Praeparatio Evangelica". Bar Hebraeus, a man who wrote the history
of
the world in Syriac, agreed with these, as well. They placed an exodus 490
years after the era of Abraham.
