 THEOGNOSTUS OF ALEXANDRIA AND PIERIUS OF ALEXANDRIA
For as the sun remains the same and suffers no diminution from the rays that are poured out by it, so neither did the substance of the Father undergo any change in having the Son as an image of itself.
Theognostus, moreover, himself adds words to this effect: He who has offended against the first term[18] and the second, may be judged to deserve smaller punishment; but he who has also despised the third, can no longer find pardon.
For by the first term and the second, he says, is meant the teaching concerning the Father and the Son; but by the third is meant the doctrine committed to us with respect to the perfection[1] and the partaking of the Spirit.

Theognostus served in the presidency of the Christian academy in Alexandria and was a respected theologian and writer.
Theognostus made a clear distinction between the Christians of Hebrews 6:4 and those who were "not yet able to receive what is perfect" (Roberts and Donaldson 6:156).
He said that such "imperfect" members could be forgiven for serious spiritual apostasy but that "for those who have tasted the heavenly gift, and been made perfect, there remains no plea or prayer of pardon" (Roberts and Donaldson 6:156).

Eusebius says that he was "devoted to the study of the Scriptures and a most learned man, not unacquainted with philosophy," but is silent about his conduct to Origen during and after his trial for heresy.

We have from him a brief fragment on the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost, and a few extracts from his Hypotyposeis (Adumbrations).

 Ante-Nicene Fathers, Vol. VI
I can add nothing but conjectures to the following: ] Of this Theognostus we have no account by either Eusebius or Jerome.
That he was a disciple of Origen, or at least a devoted student of his works, is clear from Photius.3 He wrote a work in seven books, the title of which is thus given by Photius:4 The Outlines of the blessed Theognostus, the exegete of Alexandria.
Dodwell and others are of opinion that by this term exegete,5 is meant the presidency of the Catechetical school and the privilege of public teaching; and that the title, Outlines, was taken from Clement, his predecessor in office.

 Blessed Andrew, fool-for-Christ at Constantinople   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Born a Scythian (according to the Eastern Menaion he was a Slav), the slave of the wealthy Constantinople resident Theognostus, who taught him the Greek language and sciences, Andrew "loved Christ from a young child", was meek and obedient, frequently prayed to God and thought about the salvation of his soul.
He diligently read the lives of the martyrs and saints and, finally, became zealous to imitate them.
Some place the time of the life of St. Andrew in the 10th century, but others place it between the 5th and 7th centuries.

 SAINTS AND FEASTS
After the fall of Constantinople, the successors of Saint Jonas took the title Metropolitan of Moscow.
This is why Metropolitans Theognostus, Cyprian, Photius, and Jonas are sometimes called "of Kiev" and sometimes "of Moscow.") Upon arriving in Constantinople to reeive consecration, however, Jonas learned that Isidore had been appointed to the see by the Ecumenical Patrarch Joseph, without the knowledge of the Muscovite prince and clergy.
In 1438, at the Council of Florence, both Patriarch Joseph and Metropolitan Isidore became Uniates; in 1441, therefore, Isidore was driven from his see, and in 1449 (according to some, 1448), Saint Jonas was made Metropolitan by the Russian bishops.
