Patriarch Eutychius Of Constantinople
Eutychius (, ''Eutychios''; 512 – 5 April 582), considered a saint in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christian traditions, was the patriarch of Constantinople from 552 to 565, and from 577 to 582. His feast is kept by the Orthodox Church on 6 April, and he is mentioned in the Catholic Church's " ''Corpus Juris''". His terms of office, occurring during the reign of Emperor Justinian the Great, were marked by controversies with both imperial and papal authority. Early life Eutychius' career is well documented: a full biography, composed by his chaplain Eustathius of Constantinople, was preserved intact. Eutychius was born at Theium in Phrygia. His father, Alexander, was a general under the famous Byzantine commander Belisarius. Eutychius became a monk at Amasea at the age of 30. As an archimandrite at Constantinople, Eutychius was well respected by Menas, the Patriarch of Constantinople. Eventually, on the day Menas died, Eutychius was nominated by Justinian the Great as Pa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Patriarch Eutychius Of Alexandria
Eutychius of Alexandria (Arabic: ''Sa'id ibn Batriq'' or ''Bitriq''; 10 September 877 – 12 May 940) was the Melkite Patriarch of Alexandria. He is known for being one of the first Christian Egyptian writers to use the Arabic language. His writings include the chronicle ''Nazm al-Jauhar'' ("Row of Jewels"), also known by its Latin title ''Eutychii Annales'' ("The Annals of Eutychius"). Life He was born in Fustat (old Cairo). Eutychius spent much of his life as a medical practitioner or ''Mutatabbib''. His life was roughly contemporary with Agapius the historian, although neither displays knowledge of the other. He did not know Greek, but was able to access Greek texts in existing Syriac translations. In 932 he became the Melkite Patriarch of Alexandria at the age of 60. Because he had never held any clerical office, his appointment met with considerable opposition, which lasted the remainder of his life. His appointment was probably due to the influence of the Moslem r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eutychius (exarch)
Eutychius ( grc-gre, Ευτύχιος, Eutúkhios) was the last Exarch of Ravenna, heading the Exarchate from 726 or 727 until 751. Arrival in Italy and first struggles The Exarchate of Ravenna had risen in revolt in 726 at the imposition of iconoclasm; the Exarch Paul lost his life attempting to quash the revolt. In response, Emperor Leo III the Isaurian (r. 717–741) sent the eunuch Eutychius to take control of the situation. In certain historical works, Eutychius is mentioned as having served as exarch already in 710/11–713, between the tenures of John III Rizocopus and Scholasticus. This is however a modern interpolation based on an erroneous reading of the ''Liber pontificalis''. Eutychius landed in Naples, where he called upon loyal citizens to assassinate Pope Gregory II. When the citizens responded by pledging to defend the Pope and to die in his defense, Eutychius turned his attention to the Lombards, offering King Liutprand and the Lombard dukes bribes if they would ...

Eutychius Proclus
Eutychius Proclus ( grc, Εὐτύχιος Πρόκλος, Eutychios Proklos, or Tuticius Proculus in some sources) was a grammarian who flourished in the 2nd century AD. He served as one of two Latin tutors for the Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, along with Trosius Aper. He was from the North African city of Sicca Veneria (modern El Kef in Tunisia). It is possibly this Proclus who is mentioned by Trebellius Pollio as the most learned grammarian of his age. For his work with the emperor, Proculus was later given senatorial rank, and a consulship, though it is not clear what year he served as consul. He also required financial support from Marcus in order to carry the financial burdens of a senatorial career, so from here we may assume he was not born into a wealthy or aristocratic family. Works His writings are now lost, though there is a (probably fictitious) work occasionally attributed to him titled ''De peregrinis regionibus''. This is likely because of some of the confusion ...

Arcadius And Companions
Arcadius, Paschasius, Probus and Eutychius were Chalcedonianism, Chalcedonian Christian martyrs. Natives of Hispania, they became loyal counsellors of the Vandal Kingdom, Vandal king Gaiseric, but were ultimately proscribed, exiled, tortured and executed in 437 for refusing the king's command to convert to Arianism. Their story is recounted in the contemporary chronicle of Prosper of Aquitaine.. Paschasius and Eutychius, whose name is sometimes given as Eutychian, were brothers. Prosper records that the four men were for a long time trusted as advisors by Gaiseric for their wisdom and faithfulness. They were probably Roman people, Romans who had first joined Gaiseric when the Vandals were in Hispania and had then continued with him after he invaded Diocese of Africa, Africa in 429. Their sudden removal from court has been described as a "purge". Prosper says that Gaiseric demanded their conversion "to make them even more esteemed". When they refused, their property was confiscated an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eutychus
__NOTOC__ Eutychus ( el, Εὔτυχος) was a young man (or a youth) of Troas tended to by St. Paul. Eutychus fell asleep due to the long nature of the discourse Paul was giving, fell from a window out of the three-story building, and died. Paul then embraced him, insisting that he was not dead, and they carried him back upstairs alive; those gathered then had a meal and a long talk which lasted until dawn. This is related in the New Testament book of the Acts of the Apostles 20:7–12. Though some (e.g. William Barclay, F. F. Bruce), do not believe that Eutychus died, Wayne Jackson observes the following facts: 1) the author Luke, a physician (Col. 4:14), plainly states that Eutychus was "taken up dead" ( gr, ἤρθη νεκρός, ''erthe nekros''); 2) after Paul embraces Eutychus, he says, "Trouble not yourselves, for his life is in him" ( gr, ἡ γὰρ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐστιν, ''he gar psuche autou en auto estin''), not "still in him" as the ...

Placidus (martyr)
Saint Placidus (Placitus), along with Saints Eutychius (Euticius), Victorinus and their sister Flavia, Donatus, Firmatus the deacon, Faustus, and thirty others, have been venerated as Christian martyrs. They were said to be martyred either by pirates at Messina or under the Emperor Diocletian. In their ''Acts'', this Placidus was confused with a saint of the same name who was a follower of St. Benedict. Thus, the legend of this unknown Sicilian martyr has him go to Italy in 541, and found a monastery at Messina, of which he was abbot, and where he was said to have been martyred with thirty companions. The feast day of the martyr saints was not in the Tridentine Calendar, but was included in the General Roman Calendar from its 1588 to 1962 editions for celebration on 5 October, the feast day of the two monks who were disciples of Saint Benedict of Nursia from their boyhood, Saint Maurus and Placidus.Martyrologium Romanum (Libreria Editrice Vaticana 2001 ) Some traditionalist Ca ...

Michael Astrapas And Eutychios
Michael Astrapas and Eutychios ( el, Μιχαήλ Αστραπάς και Ευτύχιος (flourished 1294 to 1317) were Roman (Byzantine) painters from Thessaloniki. They had a very active workshop in the area and some of their work survived. Famous Thessalonian painter Manuel Panselinos was active around the same period. Thessaloniki was considered the second capital of the Byzantine Empire. The region featured many iconographic workshops.

Floruit
''Floruit'' (; abbreviated fl. or occasionally flor.; from Latin for "they flourished") denotes a date or period during which a person was known to have been alive or active. In English, the unabbreviated word may also be used as a noun indicating the time when someone flourished. Etymology and use la, flōruit is the third-person singular perfect active indicative of the Latin verb ', ' "to bloom, flower, or flourish", from the noun ', ', "flower". Broadly, the term is employed in reference to the peak of activity for a person or movement. More specifically, it often is used in genealogy and historical writing when a person's birth or death dates are unknown, but some other evidence exists that indicates when they were alive. For example, if there are wills attested by John Jones in 1204, and 1229, and a record of his marriage in 1197, a record concerning him might be written as "John Jones (fl. 1197–1229)". The term is often used in art history when dating the career ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
