	Annianus of Alexandria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Annianus of Alexandria or Annianos was a monk who flourished in Alexandria during the bishopric of Theophilus of Alexandria around the beginning of the fifth century.
		This cycle is often attributed to Victorius of Aquitaine in 457, the first to recognize such a cycle in the West (Aquitaine is a region in southwest France).
		None of Annianus' writings have survived; he is known only from the discussion of his works by George Syncellus during the ninth century.

	Synoptic Gospels Primer - Glossary: Jerome
		Apart from a pilgrimage from Alexandria to the old centers of Christian monasticism at Chenoboskian (near Nag Hammadi) and a few brief side trips to sites in Palestine, Jerome spent the remainder of his life in a monastery he founded at Bethlehem, completing his prodigious project of retranslating the scriptures from Greek into Latin.
		Mark died in the eighth year of Nero [61 CE] and was buried in Alexandria, with Annianus succeeding him.
		Jerome's pilgrimage to Alexandria probably acquainted him with the local tradition that traced that church's founding to Mark and his reading of Origen would have given him ample evidence of the use of Philo's works by Egyptian Christians.

		By then Alexandria had become a cultural and cosmopolitan center, attracting all kinds of peoples with their religious traditions, including those of Greek-speaking Jews, within a vast population, such that it was second only to Rome in size.
		According to Grant, with reference to Philo [In Flaccum 43, in Yonge 1993:728], Jews "were especially prominent at Alexandria and in Egypt, where the Jewish population could be counted (with some exaggeration?) at a million" [1970:23].

		As for Mark, then, during Peter's stay in Rome he wrote an account of the Lord's doings, not, however, declaring all of them, nor yet hinting at the secret ones, but selecting what he thought most useful for increasing the faith of those who were being instructed.
		We now learn specifically, from this recalled bit of chronological data, that Mark "died in the eighth year of Nero and was buried at Alexandria, Annianus succeeding him" [ J 8; NPNF 2 III (1892) 364; Aland 1978: 546].
		Mark as founder of the church at Alexandria may be difficult to ground historically, but it is of vast importance to the Coptic Church which remembers it emphatically, as evidenced in the Liturgy of St Mark, an authentic text of which is found in the Strassburg papyrus from the fourth/fifth century (Dix 1952: 217-222).
