In the 5th century, Socrates Scholasticus Church History book 5 states:

"Nor is there less variation in regard to religious assemblies. For although almost all churches throughout the world celebrate the sacred mysteries on the sabbath of every week, yet the Christians of Alexandria and at Rome, on account of some ancient tradition, have ceased to do this."

Also in the 5th, Sozomen Church History book 7 states:

"Assemblies are not held in all churches on the same time or manner. The people of Constantinople and almost everywhere, assemble together on the Sabbath, as well as on the first day of the week, which custom is never observed at Rome or at Alexandria."
