Eusebius preserves Papias but personally dislikes him due to eschatology differences

The Gospels Are History Not Myth 00:13:53 – 00:14:24

Note on the transmission of Papias's writings and the reliability of Eusebius as a hostile witness.

Eusebius calls Papias "stupid" because of different eschatological views (likely millennialism), yet still preserves his writings. This hostile preservation actually strengthens the reliability of the quotations.
