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.

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".

Maximus (bishop Of Zaragoza)
Maximus was the first Visigothic Bishop of Zaragoza, bishop of Archdiocese of Zaragoza, Zaragoza (Hispania) in 592–619. He was also a theology, theologian and historian.

He assisted at the Councils of Council of Barcelona, Barcelona in 599 and Council of Egara, Egara in 614, held the Second Council of Zaragoza, against Arianism, in 592, and signed a decree of Gundemar in 610. Maximus also contributed to the Visigothic cultural renaissance of the 6th and 7th centuries, which was continued by such scholars as Isidore of Seville, Eugenius II of Toledo, Eugenius of Toledo and Braulio of Zaragoza. It has been theorized that he wrote the ''Chronicles of Zaragoza'', a history of that time surviving via a 16th-century manuscript copy, because Isidore of Seville notes that Maximus had written on history.

Maximus II Of Antioch
Maximus II was a 5th-century patriarch of Antioch. After the deposition of Domnus II by the Second Council of Ephesus, 449, Dioscorus of Alexandria, Dioscorus persuaded the emperor Theodosius II to fill the vacancy with one of the clergy of Constantinople. Maximus was selected and ordained, in violation of canon law, by Patriarch Anatolius of Constantinople, without the official sanction of the clergy or people of Antioch. Maximus, though his elevation was under questionable conditions, gained a positive reputation in the conduct of his diocese and province. He dispatched ''epistolae tractoriae'' through the churches subject to him as metropolitan, requiring the signatures of the bishops to Pope Leo I, Pope Leo's famous ''Tome of Leo, Tome'' and to another document condemning both Nestorius and Eutyches. Having thus discreetly assured his position, he was summoned to the Council of Chalcedon in October 451, and took his seat without question, and when the acts of the Second Council ...

Archbishop Maximus I Of Constantinople
Maximus, also known as Maximus I or Maximus the Cynic, was the intrusive archbishop of Constantinople in 380, where he became a rival of Gregory Nazianzus. Biography Born in Alexandria into a poor family, Maximus was the son of Christian parents, who had suffered on account of their religion; but whether from Pagan or Arian violence is not clear. Maximus united the faith of an orthodox believer with the garb and deportment of a Cynic philosopher. He was initially held in great respect by the leading theologians of the orthodox party. Athanasius, in a letter written about 371, pays him several compliments on a work written in defence of the orthodox faith. In 374, during the reign of the emperor Valens, in the persecution carried on by Lucius, Arian patriarch of Alexandria, Maximus was flogged, and banished to the Oasis, on account of his zeal for orthodoxy and the aid he offered to those who suffered in the same cause.Gregory of Nazianzus, ''Orat.'' xxv. c. 13, 14 He obtained his r ...

List Of Patriarchs Of Antioch
Patriarch of Antioch is a traditional title held by the bishop of Antioch (modern-day Antakya, Turkey). As the traditional "overseer" (ἐπίσκοπος, ''episkopos'', from which the word ''bishop'' is derived) of the first gentile Christian community, the position has been of prime importance in Pauline Christianity from its earliest period. This diocese is one of the few for which the names of its bishops from the apostolic beginnings have been preserved. Today five churches use the title of patriarch of Antioch: one Oriental Orthodox (the Syriac Orthodox Church); three Eastern Catholic (the Maronite, Syriac Catholic, and Melkite Greek Catholic Churches); and one Eastern Orthodox (the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch). According to the pre-congregation church tradition, this ancient patriarchate was founded by the Apostle Saint Peter. The patriarchal succession was disputed at the time of the Meletian schism in 362 and again after the Council of Chalcedon in 451, when there ...
