	Suda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Suda (Σουδα or alternatively Suidas) is a massive 10th century Byzantine Greek historical encyclopædia of the ancient Mediterranean world.
		Under the heading "Adam" the author of the lexicon (which a prefatory note states to be "by Suidas") gives a brief chronology of the world, ending with the death of the emperor John Zimisces (975), and under Constantinople his successors Basil II and Constantine VIII are mentioned.
		It would thus appear that the Suda was compiled in the latter part of the 10th century.

	Patriarch Acacius of Constantinople (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Acacius first appeared in authentic history (Suidas, s.v.) as the orphanotrophos, or an official entrusted with the care of the orphans, in the Church of Constantinople, which he administered with conspicuous success.
		His abilities attracted the notice of the Roman emperor Leo I, over whom he obtained great influence by the arts of an accomplished courtier (Suidas, l.c.), which led to his succession to the seat of Patriarch on the death of the Gennadius in 471.
		On the one side he laboured to restore unity to Eastern Orthodoxy, which was distracted by the varieties of opinion to which the Eutychian debates had given rise; and on the other to magnify the authority of his see by asserting its independence of Rome, and extending its influence over Alexandria and Antioch.

	HESYCHIUS OF MILETUS - LoveToKnow Article on HESYCHIUS OF MILETUS
		It is disputed, however, whether the words in Suidas (of which this book is an epitome) mean that Suidas himself epitomized the work of Hesychius, or whether they are part of the title of an already epitomized Hesychius used by Suidas.
		The epitome referred to, in which alphabetical order was substituted for arrangement in classes and some articles on Christian writers added as a concession to the times, is assigned from internal indications to the years 82983 7.
		A smaller compilation, chiefly from Diogenes Lartius and Suidas, with a similar title, is the work of an unknown author of the 11th or 12th century.

		He condemned and deposed Acacius, a proceeding which the latter regarded with contempt, but which involved a schism between the two sees that lasted after Acacius’s death through the long and troubled reign of the Byzantine emperor Anastasius I, and was only healed by Justin I under Pope Hormisdas in 519.
		Suidas stated that Acacius possessed an undoubtedly striking personality of making the most of his opportunities.
		In both respects he appears to have acted more in the spirit of a statesman than of a theologian; and in this relation the personal traits of liberality, courtliness, and ostentation, noticed by Suidas, are of worthy importance.

		On the other hand, Suidas makes no mention of works which we find Syrianus stated by other authorities to have written, or even of works by him which are still extant.

	Philosophy - Stoicism: Epictetus
		Suidas says that he lived till the reign of Marcus Aurelius, yet the authority or Aulus Gellius is strong on the other side.
		It is a proof of the estimation in which Epictetus was held, that on his death, his lamp was purchased by an admirer for 3000 drachmas (several thousand pounds by today's standards).
		Though it is said by Suidas that Epictetus wrote much, there is good reason to believe that he himself wrote nothing.

	Henry Thornton Wharton's Life of Sappho, Peitho's Web edition, part 1

		The owner was found in the city of Naucratis and brought to the king; he made her his queen, and at her death erected, so the story goes, this third pyramid in her honour.

		The Suidas also calls him Menander's uncle, but an anonymous tractate on Comedy more plausibly states that Menander was his pupil.

	The Argonautica: Introduction
		Suidas also informs us elsewhere that Aristophanes at the age of sixty-two succeeded Apollonius in this office.
		However that may be, it is rather arbitrary to take away the "bibliothecariate" of Apollonius, which is clearly asserted by Suidas, on account of chronological calculations which are themselves uncertain.
		Moreover, it is more probable that the words following "some say" in the second "life" are a remnant of the original life than a conjectural addition, because the first "life" is evidently incomplete, nothing being said about the end of Apollonius' career.

	Clarke's Commentary - Titus 3
		This doctrine of obedience to the civil powers was highly necessary for the Cretans, who were reputed a people exceedingly jealous of their civil privileges, and ready to run into a state of insurrection when they suspected any attempt on the part of their rulers to infringe their liberties.
		Suidas, under the word aneseion, they stirred up, gives the following fragment: oi de krhtev, foboumenoi mh ti timwriav tucwsin, aneseion ta plhqh, parakalountev thn ex aiwnov paradedomenhn eleuqerian diafulattein.
		To be jealous of our civil rights and privileges, and most strenuously to preserve them, is highly praiseworthy; but to raise a public tumult to avoid merited chastisement, under pretense that our civil privileges are in danger, is not the part of patriots but insurgents.

	Magnes
		According to Suidas he was a native of Icaria in Attica, or of Athens herself.
		According to Suidas, Magnes exhibited nine plays and gained two victories, which is at variance with the statement of Aristophanes that he had won many times.
		On the other hand the anonymous writer on Comedy avers that he won eleven victories, but that none of his plays were preserved, though nine were falsely ascribed to him.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lucian of Antioch
		According to a tradition preserved by Suidas (s.v.), Lucian was born at Samosata, of pious parents, and was educated in the neighbouring city of Edessa at the school of a certain Macarius.
		Not much faith can be attached to these statements, which are not corroborated by any other author; Suidas very probably confounded the history of Lucian with that of his famous namesake, the pagan satirist of a century earlier.
		There are epistles mentioned by Suidas; a fragment of one announces the death of Anthimus, a bishop ("Chronicon Paschale in P.G. ROUTH, Reliquiae Sacrae, IV, i, 17; Acta SS.

		Remembering the constant confusion of the names Plliliscus and PMlistus^ we may safely ascribe to this orator the Srj^rjyopfat, which Suidas mentions among the works of the historian Philistus of Syracuse.
		This is, therefore, very probably ohe of the many cases in which Suidas makes two articles out of the same name, by copying statements from two different authors.
		It seems, therefore, that the time of Philiscus must be extended to an earlier period than that assigned to him by Suidas.

		For Hermes speaks of the Trinity in the Suidas fragment and elsewhere he speaks of the Logos (CH I), about rebirth (CH XIII), baptism (CH IV) and the resurrection of the body (CH III.4).

		The text of the poem is in a chaotic condition, and there are many interpolations, some of Byzantine date.
		Though popularly ascribed to Homer, its real author is said by Suidas to have been Pigres, a Carian, brother of Artemisia, `wife of Mausonis', who distinguished herself at the battle of Salamis.
		Suidas is confusing the two Artemisias, but he may be right in attributing the poem to about 480 B.C. prev

	Re: orion-list Another Proof for Doers = Essenes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		However, older scholarship (and still a few contemporary authors) employed the transliteration Suidae Lexicon, which translates from the Latin as "Suidas' Lexicon" and so the tradition became established of referring to its "author" as Suidas (much as some 30th-century author might come to refer to Britannicus and his wonderful encyclopedia).
		However there have now been several printings, of which the most authoritative is Ada Adler's edition: Suidae Lexicon (Stuttgart: Teubner, 1971 reprint of a 1935 original), in 5 volumes." The point of the Suda entry is not its proximity to the time of the Essenes.
		The point of the entry is that it presents "novel" information about the Essene connection to (1) the derivation of the group's name, and (2) the "ethnic" nature of the group.

	Apollonius.Net - Flavius Philostratus
		If we may believe Suidas, Fronton was his rival at Athens, and probably Apsines, who also was opposed to Fronton, and of whom Philostratus speaks as his intimate friend, was his colleague.
		As he was called Lemnius from his birthplace, so on his arrival at Rome from Athens, or while teaching there, he was called Atheniensis, to distinguish him from his younger namesake.
		The account given by Suidas of his having been alive in the time of the emperor Philip (A.D. 244-249), tallies precisely with what we find written in his own works.
