Perdiccas
（
*Perdi/kkas), was protonotary of Ephesus. If we may trust a conjecture mentioned by Fabricius, he attended a synod held at Constantinople, A. D. 1347, at which were present two of the same name, Theodorus and Georgius Perdiccas.

Poem on the Miraculous Events connected with our Lord's History
The subject of this poem is the miraculous events connected with our Lord's history, principally those of which Jerusalem was the theatre.
But besides Jerusalem, he visits Bethany, Bethpage, and Bethlehem.
In this poem--which consists of 260 verses of that kind termed
politici--he writes as if from personal inspection, but, if this was really the case, he is wanting in clearness and distinctness of delineation. While some of the details are curious, his geography is singularly inaccurate. Thus, he places Galilee on the northern skirts of the Mount of Olives.
