A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Grego'rius of Sicily or Grego'rius Asbestas or Grego'rius of Sicily (search)
Grego'rius of Sicily or Grego'rius Asbestas or Grego'rius of Sicily 35. Of SYRACUSE, sometimes called of SICILY. Gregory, surnamed ASBESTAS, was made bishop of Syracuse about A. D. 845. He went to Constantinople, apparently soon after his appointment to the see, for he appears to have been there in A. D. 847, where Ignatius was chosen patriarch, whose election he strenuously opposed. He was, in return, deposed by Ignatius in a council held A. D. 854, on the ground, as Monitor affirms, of his profligacy; and his deposition was confirmed by the Pope, Benedict III. When, on the deposition of Ignatius, Photius was placed on the patriarchal throne, A. D. 858, he was consecrated by Gregory, whose episcopal character, notwithstanding his deposition, was thus recognised. Gregory was anathematised, together with Photius, at the council of Rome A. D. 863: and his connection with the Greek patriarch is a reason for receiving with caution the assertions of Romish writers as to his immoral char

A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ste'phanus (search)
Ste'phanus 5. Besides the above-mentioned physicians the Arabic writers mention at least two persons of the name of Estefan (or Stephanus, who translated various Greek works into Arabic. The most eminent of these was the son of a person named Basil; he lived at Bagdad in the reign of the Chalíf Motawakkel, A. H. 232-247 (A. D. 847 --861), and translated Dioscorides and several treatises of Galen, some of which are still extant in MS. in different European libraries. It is, perhaps, his translation of Dioscorides which is quoted by Ibn Baitár (vol. i. p. 265); where Sontheimer, the translator, calls him Isthafan Ebn Nasl, by misplacing a single point, and thus confounding Nasíl with Basil.
