	Meletius Of Lycopolis - LoveToKnow 1911
		MELETIUS OF LYCOPOLIS (4th century), founder of the sect known after him as the "Meletians," or as the "Church of the Martyrs," in the district of Thebes in Egypt.
		The Council of Nicaea in 325 upheld the bishops, but Meletius was allowed to remain bishop of Lycopolis though with merely nominal authority.
		His followers, however, took part with the Arians in the controversy with Athanasius and existed as a separate sect till the 5th century.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lycopolis
		After the fall of the sixth dynasty, its princes, freed from the supremacy of Memphis, bore alternately the yoke of the kings of Heracleopolis or Thebes.
		The principal object of worship was the jackal Apouaitou, whence the Greek Lycopolis, or city of the wolf.
		Among the ancient bishops of Lycopolis (Lequien, "Oriens Christianus", II, 597) were Alexander, author of a treatise against the Manichaeans; Meletius, author of the (Egyptian) Meletian schism, and opponent of Peter of Alexandria; Volusianus, who attended the Council of Nicaea in 325, and others.

	Plotinus
		Porphyry believed Plotinus was 66 years old when he died in the second year of the reign of the emperor Claudius, and estimated the year of his teacher's birth as around AD Plotinus disliked "being in the body", so he never discussed his ancestry, or his place or date of birth.
		Eunapius however reports that he was born in Lyco or Lycopolis in Egypt.
		He took up the study of philosophy at the age of 27, around the year 232, and went to Alexandria to study.

	Meletius of Lycopolis
		Meletius, Bishop of Lycopolis in Egypt, gave his name to a schism of short duration.
		Meletius, it was decided, should remain in his own city of Lycopolis, but without exercising authority or the power of ordaining; moreover he was forbidded to go into the environs of the town or to enter another diocese for the purpose of ordaining its subjects.
		He retained his episcopal title, but the ecclesiastics ordained by him were to receive again the imposition of hands, the ordinations performed by Meletius being therefore regarded as invalid.

		Later, the Greeks renamed it Lycopolis which means 'city of the wolf'.
		Although the city was of considerable strategic value in its position between Upper and Lower Egypt, it somehow managed to stay clear of national importance as a capital.
		Probably the best know saint of Christian Egypt, John of Lycopolis was a carpenter who withdrew to the desert of the nearby mountains.

	The Compass newspaper -- Saint of the Day
		John of Egypt was born in about 304 at Lycopolis (now the city of Asyut) in Lower Egypt.
		One exercise the old hermit had John do daily was to water a dry stick as though it were a living plant.
		John built three rooms - a bedroom, a workroom/living room and an oratory and enclosed it entirely, except for the one small window through which he could receive supplies and talk to visitors - but only men - on Saturdays and Sundays (he worked and prayed the other days).

	Asyut, Egypt
		Asyut was the capital of the 13th nome of Upper Egypt, the Sycamore nome, and the principal center of the cult of the war god Wepwawet, who was represented as a desert wolf: hence the town's Greek name of Lycopolis, "city of the wolf".
		Asyut was the birthplace of Plotinus (A.D. 205-270), the greatest of the Neo Platonic philosophers, whose system was influenced to some degree by the priestly doctrines of his native town.
		Among them was John of Lycopolis (end of fourth C.), who gained the reputation of a saint and a prophet: thus when the Emperor Theodosius sent an envoy to ask about the outcome of his conflict with his rival Eugenius he correctly foretold the Emperor's victory.

		It is in this way that lover and beloved here [in this world], in a copy of that [Divine] union, long to blend their being.
		And if you do not find yourself beautiful yet, act as does the creator of a statue that is to be made beautiful; he cuts away here, he smoothes there, he makes this line lighter, this other purer, until a lovely face has grown upon his work.
		This Absolute is none of the things of which It is the Source; Its nature is that nothing can be affirmed of It not existence, not essence, not life-It transcends all these.

	Plotinus - Crystalinks
		Porphyry states that he never spoke about his parents, his race, or his country.
		Eunapius, a late 4th-century writer, and later authors wrote that his birthplace was Lyco, or Lycopolis, in Egypt, either the modern Asyut in Upper Egypt or a small town in the Nile Delta.
		Though this may be true, there is no real evidence in the "Life" or in his own writings to suggest that Plotinus had any special knowledge of or affinity with Egypt; the fact that he later studied philosophy in the great cosmopolitan city of Alexandria is not necessarily evidence that he was an Egyptian.

	Alexander of Lycopolis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		It has been questioned whether Alexander was a Christian when he wrote this work, or ever became one afterwards.
		Photius says (Contra Manichæos, i, 11) that he was Bishop of Lycopolis (in the Egyptian Thebaid), but Bardenhewer opines (Patrologie, 234) that he was a pagan and a platonist.
		A good separate edition is that of A. BRINKMANN (Leipzig, 1895).

	quotable dreamers
		So it is interesting that John of Lycopolis is described as having been consulted by generals on the outcome of battles, and as having accurately forecast the results of the Emperor Theodosius’ struggles with opposing armies and rebels.
		The primary source on John of Lycopolis and his dream visitation is The History of the Monks of Egypt, an anonymous account of a journey by a group of seven brothers from a monastery on the Mount of Olives to the desert fathers in Egypt in the 380s.
		The author does not expound on the past history of Lycopolis, whose former residents included the great experiential philosopher Plotinus as well as a jackal-headed god.

		Notwithstanding the activity of St. Peter's charity and zeal, several in whom the love of this world prevailed basely betrayed their faith to escape torments and death.
		Among those who fell during this storm, none was more considerable than Meletius, Bishop of Lycopolis, in Thebais.
		That bishop was charged with several crimes; but apostasy was the main article alleged against him.

		Among Christian writers, Augustine produced the most distinguished refutation, being all the better prepared for his task by his nine years' experience as a Manichæan.
		[The Acts of Archelaus, and the treatise of Alexander of Lycopolis, are also of the nature of refutations of Manichæism.
