It is obviously a typo, Gavin. Constantius II, was Roman Emperor from 337 to 361.

Not sure how it got in there!

I was confused when reading about St. Zoticus. If he was deceased around 350, how could he have defended orthodox Christianity before the pro-Arian emperor Constantius II who reigned 641-668? Am I not reading it right?
