A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ale'xius (search)
Ale'xius （*)Ale/cios), Patriarch of CONSTANTINOPLE, a member of the monastery of Studius (founded A. D. 460), succeeded Eustathius as Patriarch A. D. 1025. In A. D. 1034 he crowned Michael IV. the favourite of Zoe, who, to make way for him, procured the death of her husband, the Emperor Romanus. He thwarted the attempts of John (the emperor's brother) to gain the patriarchal see (A. D. 1036), and died A. D. 1043. Decrees of his are extant, ap. Jus Gr. Rom. vol. i. lib. iv. p. 250, Leunclav. Francof. 1596. See Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. xi. p. 558. [A.J.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Anto'nius (search)
Anto'nius 3. A Greek MONK, and a disciple of Simeon Stylites, lived about A. D. 460. Works Life of Simeon He wrote a life of his master Simeon, with whom he had lived on intimate terms. Editions It was written in Greek, and L. Allatius (Diatr. de Script. Sim. p. 8) attests, that he saw a Greek MS. of it; but the only edition which has been published is a Latin translation in Boland's Act. Sanctor. i. p. 264. (Cave, Script. Eccles. Hist. Lit. ii. p. 145.) Vossius (De Hist. Lat. p. 231), who knew only the Latin translation, was doubtful whether he should consider Antonius as a Latin or a Greek historian.
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Arno'bius (search)
Arno'bius the Younger, is usually placed about A. D. 460, and is believed to have been a bishop or presbyter in Gaul. Works He is known to us only as the author of one or two works of very little importance, which have sometimes been attributed to Arnobius the elder. an allegorical commentary on the Psalms We possess under his name an allegorical commentary on the Psalms, which is inscribed to Leontius, bishop of Arles, and Rusticus, bishop of Narbonne. This commentary, though the notes are very brief, contains sufficient evidence that the author was a Semipelagian. Editions It was first printed at Basel (1522, 4to.) together with Erasmus's commentary on Psalm ii., and was reprinted at Cologne, 1532, 8vo. A much better edition than either of these is that by L. de la Barre, Paris, 1639, 8vo., which also contains some notes by the same Arnobius on several passages of the Gospels, which had been published separately before by G. Cognant, Basel, 1543, 8vo. The commentary of Arn

hal Chronicle, Heracleitus of Athens, where she was born. The year of her birth is doubtful. Nicephorus Callisti, who has given the fullest account of her, states (14.50) that she died in the fourth year of the emperor Leo, which corresponds to A. D. 460-61, aged sixty-seven; and that she was in her twentieth year when she married Theodosius. According to this statement, she must have been born A. D. 393-4, and married A. D. 413-14. But the age of Theodosius (born A. D. 401) leads us to prefer,version led many others to follow her example; but it is honourable to her that she continued her gratuities to those who retained as well as to those who renounced these opinions. She died at Jerusalem in the fourth year of the reign of Leo I. A. D. 460-61, and was buried in the church of St. Stephen, which she herself had built. Theophanes places her death in A. M. 5947 Alex. era (A. D. 455), but this is too early. Her age has been already noticed. She solemnly declared at her death that she

Ge'nnadius 1. The earlier of the two was a presbyter of the Church of Constantinople, and became bishop of that see,A. D. 459, on the decease of Anatolius [ANATOLIUS]. He was one of those who pressed the emperor Leo I., the Thracian, to punish Timothy Aelurus (or the Cat), who had occupied the see of Alexandria on the murder of Proterius, and his intervention was so far successful that Timothy was banished, A. D. 460. He also opposed Peter Gnapheus (or the Fuller) who, under the patronage of Zeno, son-in-law of the emperor, and general of the Eastern provinces, had expelled Martyrius from the see of Antioch, and occupied his place. Gennadius honourably received Martyrius, who went to Constantinople. and succeeded in procuring the banishment of Peter, A. D. 464. Gennadius died. A. D. 471, and was succeeded by Acacius [ACACIUS, No.4]. Theodore Anagnostes (or the Reader) has preserved some curious particulars of Gennadias, whose death he seems to ascribe to the effect of a vision which
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Hila'rius or Hila'rius Arelatensis (search)
de Dei Providentia Editions Frequently printed along with the works of Prosper Aquitanus. 3. Carmen in Genesim ad Leonem Papam Editions First printed by Miraeus in his edition of Hilarius Pictaviensis, Paris, fol. 1544; published separately by Morellus, Paris, 4to. 1559; with a commentary by Weitzius, Franc. 8vo. 1625; and included in all the larger collections of the fathers. Narratio de Miraculo There is also a Narratio de Miraculo, performed by a certain martyr named Genesius, which is given to Hilarius in some MSS., but generally rejected as spurious. Editions It will be found in Surius and the Bollandists under 25th August. Vita Hilarii We have already alluded to an ancient Vita Hilarii, which is commonly believed to be the production of Honoratus, bishop of Marseilles (about A. D. 460), but which in the Arles MS. is assigned to Reverentius, or Ravennius, the successor of Hilarius. It is contained in the Chronologia Lirinensis, and in Surius under V. Mai. [W.R]
A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Jaco'bus (search)
Jaco'bus 17. A SYRIAN monk, disciple of the monk Maro or Maron (from whom, indirectly, the Maronites of Syria derive their name), and a contemporary of the ecclesiastical historian Theodoret, who has given a long account of him in his Philotheus. He became so eminent for his sanctity, that the emperor Leo I. Thrax, when he wished to gather the opinions of the leading ecclesiastics as to the validity of the election of Timotheus Aclurus, patriarch of Alexandria, about A. D. 460, wrote to the various prelates of the Eastern church, and to Jacobus, Symeon Stylites, and Baradatus, all three eminent ascetics, for their judgment in the matter. The answer of Jacobus is described by Photius as written with great simplicity of style, but full of the Holy Spirit and of wisdom. Jacobus and Theodoret were united by the closest ties of friendship; and when Jacobus died, he was buried in the same tomb with his friend. Their year of Jacobus' death is not stated: he was still alive in 460, when he r

e retired to Massilia (Marseille), where he hired and farmed some land, but this resource failed him, and alone, destitute and in debt, he was reduced to live on the charity of others. During his residence at Massilia, he became acquainted with many religious persons, and their conversation combined with his sorrows and disappointments to impress his mind deeply with religious sentiments. He was baptized in A. D. 422, in his forty-sixth year, and lived at least till his eighty-fourth year (A. D. 460), when he wrote his poem. Some have supposed, but without good reason, that he is the Benedictus Paulinus to whose questions of various points of theology and ethics Faustus Reiensis wrote an answer. [FAUSTUS REIENSIS.] Works Eucharisticon de Vita Sua Editions A poem entitled Eucharisticon de Vita Sua, by a writer of the name of Paulinus, has been twice published. It appeared among the poems of Paulinus of Nola [see below] in the Appendix to the first edition of De la Bigne's Biblio

e resisted a more rational mode of argument. Tribes, apparently of Bedouin Arabs, contended for the blessing of the holy man. and were near coming to blows in their jealous rivalry. The gifts of working miracles and of prophesying are claimed for him by Theodoret, who professes to have been an eye and ear witness of their exercise. In this extraordinary manner he passed the last thirty-seven years of his life, attracting the reverence alike of believers and unbelievers. Symeon died about A. D. 460 according to Tillemont, Theophanes, and Cedrenus. His body was brought to Antioch. The emperor Leo proposed to remove it to Constantinople, but yielded to the entreaties of the people of Antioch that it should remain among them. His relics were held in high esteem. The abode of Symeon before and after his ascent of the column, was locally called Mandra (whence he sometimes bore the name of Mandrita), and was distant, according to Evagrius, three hundred stadia, nearly thirty-five miles f
