From the Paper:

"The other designation was derived from the fact that Eusebius was a friend of Pamphilus, who was a martyr and a presbyter of Caesarea (Schaff and Wace). Most historians believe that Eusebius was well educated in the areas of biblical science, theological science, and secular philosophy (Schaff and Wace). Historians also believe that his methods of study were greatly influenced by his instructors. One such instructor was Pamphilus who in all probability encouraged a young Eusebius to read the works of many great philosophers."
