LUCIAN.
LUCIAN, a Presbyter of Antioch, applied himself vigorously to the Study of Scripture, and pub∣lished a new Edition of the Version a 1.1 of the Septuagint, which was afterwards called Lucian's Edition. He was a Man of great Eloquence, and wrote several small Treatises concerning Faith, and some Letters. Amongst others, he wrote one, when he was in Prison, addressed to a Christian of Antioch; the end of which Letter is preserved in the Chronicle of Alexandria, and is as follows:
All the Martyrs that are with me, Salute you. I send you word that Bishop Anthimus died a Martyr.
Lucian is accused to have been the first Author of the Arian Opinion: And indeed, all the Heads of that Party were his Disciples. He suffered Martyrdom at Nicomedia, under the Persecution b 1.2 of the Emperour Maximinus, and was Buried at Helenopolis, a City of Bythinia.
Notes
a 1.1
Of the Septuagint.] The Version which he Corrected, was the common Version of the Septu∣agint. Upon this account, St. Jerome (Praefat. in Paralipomena) distinguishes between three different Editions of the Version of the Septuagint. The first, was that of Eusebius and Pamphilus, which he calls Palaestine, that was taken out of the Hexapla of Origen, who corrected it by an ancient Version, and added several things borrowed from the Ver∣sions of Theodotian, Aquila, and Symmachus. The Second was that of Alexandria, whereof Hesychius was Author, who likewise corrected the common Version of the Septuagint. The Last, that of Lu∣cian. This gave occasion to St. Jerome to say, That Totus Orbis hac inter se trifaria varietate compugnat.
Of the Emperour Maximinus.] Eusebius, l. 9. c. 6. Hierom. in Catalog. And therefore Baronius is mistaken, when following the Acts of his Martyr∣dom, he says, That he suffered under Maximian; for 'tis a common mistake amongst the Greeks to take Maximian for Maximin.
