A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ambro'sius (search)
Ambro'sius （*)Ambro/sios) ALEXANDRI'NUS, a nobleman and courtier (S. Epiph. ad v. Hacr. 64. [44] § 3) flourished A. D. 230. At first a Valentinian (Euseb. Hist. Eccl. 7.18) and Marcionist, he was won to the faith by Origen, whose constant fellow-student he became (Origen, Ep. ad African. vol. i. p. 29), and was ordained deacon. (S. Hier. Vir. Illustr. 56.) He plied Origen with questions, and urged him to write his Commentaries (e)rgodiw/kths), supplying him with transcribers in abundance. He shone as a Confessor during the persecution of Julius Maximinus (Euseb. 6.18) A. D. 236, and died between A. D. 247 and 253. His letters to Origen (praised by St. Jerome) are lost; part of one exists ap. Origen, Lib. de Orat. 100.5. p. 208, A. B. (See Routh's Reliquiae Sacr. ii. p. 367.) Origen dedicated to him his Exhortation to Martyrdom; Books against Celsus; Commentary on St. John's Gospel ; and On Prayer. [A.J
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Beryllus (search)
Beryllus （*Berullo/s), bishop of Bostra in Arabia, A. D. 230, maintained that the Son of God had no distinct personal existence before the birth of Christ, and that Christ was only divine as having the divinity of the Father residing in him, communicated to him at his birth as a ray or emanation from the Father. At a council held at Bostra (A. D. 244) he was convinced by Origen of the error of his doctrine, and returned to the Catholic faith. Works He wrote Hymns, Poems, and Letters, several of the latter to Origen, thanking him for having reclaimed him. A work was extant in the time of Eusebius and of Jerome, in which was an account of the questions discussed between Beryllus and Origen. None of his works are extant. Further Information Euseb. Hist. Eccl. 6.20, 33; Hieron. de Vir. Illuslr. 100.60; Socrates, H. E. 3.7.[P.

firmed by a paragraph in the Epistola ad Magnum, and not contradicted by another in the Apologia ad Pammachium, where Tertullian, Cyprian, and Felix, are grouped together in the same clause. The circumstance that certain sentences in the Octavius and in the De Idolorum Vanitate are word for word the same, although it proves that one writer copied from the other, leads to no inference as to which was the original. We may therefore acquiesce in the conclusion that our author flourished about A. D. 230. That he was a lawyer, and attained to eminence in pleading, is distinctly asserted both by St. Jerome and Lactantius; but beyond this we know nothing of his personal history, except in so far as we are led by his own words to believe that he was by birth a Gentile, and that his conversion did not take place until he had attained to manhood. We are further told (Hieron. l.c.) that a book entitled De Fato, or Contra Mathematicos, was circulated under his name, but that, although evidently t

nterview at an earlier period, A. D. 218, Huet in A.D. 223; but the date is altogether uncertain. The journey of Origen into Greece is placed by Eusebius, as we understand the passage, in the episcopate of Pontianus at Rome, which extended from A. D. 230, or, according to other accounts, from 233 to 235, and of Zebinus at Antioch from A. D. 228 to 237; but Tillemont and Huet interpret the passage so as to fix the ordination of Origen in A. D. 228, about the time when Zehinus of Antioch succeedehorities for his life have been cited in the course of the article. Their notices have been collected and arranged by various modern writers: as Huet (Origeniana, lib. i.); Cave (Apostolici,or Lives of the Primitive Fathers, and Hist. Litt. ad A. D. 230, vol. i. p. 112, ed. Oxon. 1740-3); Doucin (Hist. De l'Origenisme, liv. i. ii.); Tillemont (Mémoires, vol. iii. p. 494, &c.); Dupin (Nouvelle Biblioth.

Sauromates 4. SAUROMATES IV. was a contemporary of Alexander Severus. His coins bear dates from A. D. 230 to 232. The one annexed has the head of Alexander Severus, and the date 527, or A. D. 231; and it thus appears that his short reign must have intervened between those of Rhescuporis III. and Cotys IV.
