  Epiphanius of Salamis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Epiphanius (ca 310–20 – 403) was a Church Father, a heresiologist who was a strong defender of orthodoxy, known for tracking down deviant teachings (heresies) wherever they could be traced, during the troubled era in the Christian Church following the Council of Nicaea.
While Epiphanius often let his zeal come before facts - he admits on one occasion that he writes against the Origenists based only on hearsay (Panarion, Haer 71) - the Panarion is a valuable source of information on the Christian church of the fourth century.

The second is the personal work of Epiphanius, and is intended to fortify the faithful against current heresies.
With regard to the constitution of the Church, he is one of the most explicit of the Greek theologians concerning the primacy of St. Peter ("Ancoratus", 9; "Haer.", lix, 7).
In these two passages, instead of quoting the words of the institution of the Eucharist, the author gives these: "Hoc meum est, hoc." Epiphanius is one of the chief authorities of the fourth century for the devotion to the Blessed Virgin.

 Epiphanius of Salamis, Weights and Measures (1935) pp.v-xii, 1-9. Foreword and introduction.
Epiphanius was born almost in the very middle of Palestine, perhaps of Jewish parentage or extraction.
The one feature of this particular work of Epiphanius which did remain unique in the Christian and scriptural field was the extensive statement on biblical weights, measures, and related subjects into which, with his usual discursiveness and lack of organizatory ability, the addleheaded old pedant permitted himself to be drawn.
If Epiphanius himself made a mere show of his knowledge of Hebrew, it is unforgivable that he placed something of his own concoction in place of the original, which was easily obtainable and was well known to his pet adversary Origen before him and to his admiring friend Jerome in his own time.

Ptolemy is known only for this letter to a wealthy Gnostic lady named Flora, a letter itself only known by its full inclusion in Epiphanius' Panarion; it relates the Gnostic view of the Law of Moses, and the situation of the Demiurge relative to this law.
The possibility should not be ignored that the letter was composed by Epiphanius, in the manner of composed speeches that ancient historians put into the mouths of their protagonists, as a succinct way to sum up.

 Borborites - Psychology Central   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
According to Epiphanius of Salamis book Panarion/Adversus Haereses chapter xxv, xxvi and Theodorets Haereticarum Fabularum Compendium the borborites (or barbelos, barbelites, phibionites, stratiotici, coddians etc) were a libertine Gnostic ophite sect.
Epiphanius says the borborites were inspired by Sethianism, and had as a distinct feature of their rituals elements of sexual sacramentalism, including homosexual intercourse, smearing of hands with menstrual blood and semen, and consumption of the same as a variant of eucharist.
If the Borborites were libertines and these are their writings then the account of Epiphanius need not be rejected, but his lowly view of them might be considered incomplete in light of the elegant spiritual writings they produced.

Theophilus writes to Epiphanius to convoke a council in Cyprus for the condemnation of Origenism and asks him to transmit to Constantinople by a trustworthy messenger a copy of it's decrees together with the synodical letter of Theophilus himself.
His anxiety about this last point is caused by the news that certain of the excommunicated monks have set sail for Constantinople to lay their case before the bishop, John Chrysostom.
The date of the letter is 400 A.D. Theophilus to his well-beloved lord, brother, and fellow-bishop Epiphanius.

 Re: orion Essenes = 'osey hatorah?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
This documents the tendency of Epiphanius (and his contemporaries) to adjust the names of groups in line with their perceived etiologies or etymologies.
This suggests (whoever authored the Anakephalaieseis or Abstract of Epiphanius) that the name Ossene may be a caricature put on this group by its opponents, rather than an accurate form of their name.
Further, we have at 19.5.1 the statement that the Ossenes "do all the things of the law." Yet Epiphanius does not connect this with an etymology, "doers of the law," as he thought the name meant "sturdy" (19.1.3).
