Gaza was for centuries a very important city and studies illustrating it are not lacking.

Gaza had not only an era, but (like Ascalon) a calendar of its own, which continued in use at least down to the sixth century after Christ, and probably until the Arab conquest in 635.
An attempt by a later Bishop of Gaza (some time in the last quarter of the fourth century) to absorb Maiumas into his diocese was met by the declaration of the provincial synod that Maiumas, as the elder of the two places in the Christian faith, should not be deprived of its independence.

It is conjectured that Dorotheos' father may have been a physician and that Dorotheos was forced to depart from Antioch after the death of his parents in the earthquake of 526 CE (Wheeler 26).
Whatever the case may be, it is clear that there was a "positive transfer of learning" from the school to the monastery: Dorotheos' enthusiasm for study carried over into his desire to acquire virtue.
The first was spent with a community at Gaza; the second was the period after which Dorotheos left the monastery, having progressed to a more solitary existence.

The basilica is mentioned in Byzantine sources as the place where municipal meetings, discussions, lectures and other public gatherings, were held.
A basilica for the benefit of the public was built in Gaza, according to Choricius, in the sixth century C.E. Such structures are known to have existed in other towns in Palestine, and it is reasonable to assume, that Zippori also boasted a public basilica.
Additional changes took place during the course of the Byzantine period, around the intersection of the two main streets, the cardo and the decumanos.

And, even beyond the tradition of pagan scholiasts and literary critics, I'd like to draw your attention to a Christian sophist, Choricius, writing and declaiming in the Palestinian city of Gaza in the time of the Emperor Justinian (6th cent.
In a most eloquent passage, Choricius reminds his audience of their experience as spectators of pantomime-dancing, where the dancer, as well as “enchanting” them with his art, tries to persuade them that “he does not merely imitate but is by nature (pefuke) the very thing he imitates (touto ho de mimeitai)”.
And, to reinforce his argument, Choricius turns to none other but Homer.

“The school of rhetoric at Gaza was widely celebrated for its teachers, among whom were Æneas, and Procopius, ‘the Christian sophist.’; Of the latter’s life little is known except that he spent it in the town of his birth, refusing calls to Antioch and Tyre.
He is known to have carried on an extensive correspondence with contemporaries, and Choricius describes him as modest, unpretentious, and idealistic.
Of his speeches only one is extant—the bombastic encomium of the Emperor Anastasius I, probably written between 512 and 515.

Born at Baflo, near Groningen, Agricola started his studies at the celebrated St. Maartens School at Groningen.
In 1456 Agricola matriculated at Erfurt, later at Cologne (1462), and at Louvain, and in 1468 he traveled to Italy, where he became a protégé of the Prince d'Este in Ferrara, and a pupil of Theodor Gaza.
Agricola returned to Germany in 1479, spending some time at Dillingen, where he completed his most important work, the De inventione dialectica, which was first printed in Cologne by H. Alopecius, some time before 1510.
