ANTIOCHUS.

ANTIOCHUS, a Monk of the Monastery of S. Sabas in Palaestina, liv'd in the begin∣ning of the Seventh Century, when Jerusalem was taken by Chosroes King of Persia, and * 1.1 Palaestine pillaged by the Saracens. He hath made a Book, entitul'd, A Pandect of the Holy Scripture, because it is made up of 190 Moral Discourses; containing Precepts and Maxims upon the principal Duties of a Christian, grounded upon Places of the Holy Scri∣pture. In the 130th. he maketh the Catalogue of Heresies related by S. Epiphanius, to which he adds the Names of the Authors of Heresies, who appeared since. In the End there is a long Prayer, entituled, Exomologesis, to beg of God that he would turn away his Wrath from his People. The Preface speaks of the taking of Jerusalem, and with what Cruelties the Sara∣cens used the Monks of Palaestina. This Treatise is in Greek and Latin, in the first Addition to the Bibliotheca Patrum, and in Latin alone, in the last Bibliotheca, in which they have put the 81st. Discourse, a second Time, under another Title.
