Eusebius follows Josephus on the census
Eusebius names Josephus as his authority for the census under Cyrenius and the Galilean uprising that followed it; Josephus' Antiquities opens Book 18 with Cyrenius arriving in Syria. The set pairs Eusebius' citation with the Josephus narrative he points to.

“3. Flavius Josephus, the most celebrated of Hebrew historians, also mentions this census, which was taken during Cyrenius' term of office. In the same connection he gives an account of the uprising of the Galileans, which took place at that time, of which also Luke, among our writers, has made mention in the Acts, in the following words: After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away a multitude after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. Acts 5:37”
“NOW Cyrenius, a Roman senator, and one who had gone through other magistracies, and had passed through them till he had been consul, and one who, on other accounts, was of great dignity, came at this time into Syria, with a few others, being sent by Caesar to he a judge of that nation, and to take an account of their substance.”
