A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Arius (search)
306, Arius at first took the part of Meletius, but afterwards became reconciled to Peter, bishop of Alexandria, and the opponent of Meletius, who made Arius deacon. (Sozom. H. E. 1.15.) After this Arius again opposed Peter for his treatment of Mcletius and his followers, and was in consequence excommunicated by Peter. After the death of the latter, Achillas, his successor in the see of Alexandria, not only forgave Arius his offence and admitted him deacon again, but ordained him presbyter, A. D. 313, and gave him the charge of the church called Baucalis at Alexandria. (Epiphan. Haeres. 68. 4.) The opinion that, after the death of Achillas, Arius himself wanted to become bishop of Alexandria, and that for this reason he was hostile to Alexander, who became the successor of Achillas, is a mere conjecture, based upon the fact, that Theodoret H. E. 1.2) accuses Arius of envy against Alexander. The official position of Arius at Alexandria, by virtue of which he interpreted the Scriptures,

tantine sent him to Alexandria with a soothing letter, in which he attempted to stop the disputes which had arisen between Alexander, the bishop of Alexandria, and the presbyter Arius. [ALEXANDER, ST. p. 111; ARIUS.] He was also instructed to quiet, if possible, the disputes which had arisen as to the observance of Easter. The choice of Hosius for this conciliatory mission, which, however, produced no effect, shows the opinion entertained by the emperor of his moderation and judgment. In A. D. 313 he seems to have been concerned in the distribution of money made by Constantine to the churches in Africa (Euseb. Hist. Eccl. 10.6.) : perhaps it was owing to something which occurred on this occasion, that he was accused by the Donatists of having assisted Caecilianus in persecuting them, and of having instigated the emperor to severe measures against them. They also affirmed that he had been condemned on some charge not stated by a synod of Spanish bishops, and absolved by the prelates

ypt, while he added Greece, Macedonia, and Thrace to his own former dominions, the Hellespont, with the Bosporus, forming the common boundary of the two empires. Feeling, however, the necessity of strengthening himself against a rival at once ambitious, unscrupulous, and powerful, he entered into a league with Constantine, and after the termination of the struggle with Maxentius, during which he had acted the part of a watchful spectator rather than of a sincere ally, received in marriage (A. D. 313) Constantia, the sister of the conqueror, to whom he had been betrothed two years before. Meanwhile, Maximinus, taking advantage of the absence of his neighbour, who was enjoying the splendours of the nuptial festivities at Milan, placed himself at the head of a for midable army, and setting forth in the dead of winter succeeded, notwithstanding the obstacles offered to his progress by the season, in passing the straits, stormed Byzantium in April, and soon after captured Heracleia also.

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Maca'rius HIEROSOLYMITANUS (search)
Maca'rius HIEROSOLYMITANUS 11. HIEROSOLYMITANUS, or of Jerusalem. Two Macarii were bishops of Jerusalem, one in the early part of the fourth century, before that see was raised to the dignity of a patriarchate; the other in the sixth century. Macarius I. became bishop in A. D. 313 or 314, on the death of Hermon, and died in or before A. D. 333. He was computed to be the thirty-ninth bishop of the see. His episcopate, therefore, coincides with one of the most eventful periods in ecclesiastical history. There is extant in Eusebius (De Vita Constantin. 3.30-32) and in Theodoret (H. E. 1.17), a letter from Constantine the Great to Macarius, concerning the building of the church of the Holy Sepulchre at Jerusalem. Socrates (H. E. 1.17), Sozomen (H. E. 2.1), and Theodoret (H. E. 1.18), also ascribe to him the discovery, by testing its miraculous efficacy, of the true cross, which had been dug up, with the two on which the thieves had suffered, near the Holy Sepulchre. Macarius was presen

, renders the grossness of the flattery somewhat less odious. With regard to the author we find two notices in the version of the Eusebian Chronicle by Jerome, the one under A. D. 315, "Nazarius insignis rhetor habetur ;" the other under A. D. 337, "Nazarii rhetoris filia in eloquentia patri coaequatur," both of which we may fairly conclude refer to the author of this oration. Ausonius also notices incidentally an "illustrious" rhetorician, Nazarius, who may be the same person. (Prof. Burdig. xiv.) The eighth piece in the above collection, styled Incerti Panegyricus Constantino Augusto dictus, from the resemblance in style as well as from an expression in the ninth (100.30), is generally believed to be also the work of Nazarius. It was pronounced at Trèves by a native of Gaul (100.1), in the year A. D. 313, and celebrates in the most turgid language the victory over Maxentius. (For authorities and illustrations see the references at the end of DREPANIUS, EUMENIUS, MAMERTINUS.） [W
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Pauli'nus (search)
the contemporary and friend of Eusebius of Caesareia, who addressed to him the tenth book of his Historia Ecclesiastica. Paulinus is conjectured, from an obscure intimation in Eusebius, to have been a native of Antioch (Euseb. Contra Marcel. Ancyr. 1.4). He was bishop of Tyre, and the restorer of the church there after it had been destroyed by the heathens in the persecution under Diocletian and his successors. This restoration took place after the death of Maximin Daza [MAXIMINUS II.] in A. D. 313, consequently Paulinus must have obtained his bishopric before that time. On the dedication of the new building, an oration, *Panhguriko/s, Oratio Panegyrica, was addressed to Paulinus, apparently by Eusebius himself, who has preserved the prolix composition (Euseb. Hist. Eccl. 10.1.4). On the outbreak of the Arian controversy, Paulinus is represented as one of the chief supporters of Arianism. But it is not clear that he took a decided part in the controversy; he appears to have been, lik
