Bishops and clergy from all parts naturally turned to him in their difficulties for advice and guidance ; and it is impossible not to feel that his wonderful breadth of judgment and his love of conciliation were of the greatest value to the Church of the third century, and will remain a model for imitation to each suc- ceeding age.

Pope Dionysius of Alexandria

Men will always be tempted, as they were in that century, to speak strongly and to act vehemently where their spiritual beliefs are involved, and we may pray that God will never fail to raise up amongst the rulers of His Church men of the type of S. Denys the Great of Alexandria. Bibliography The first attempt at making a full collection of our author's remains was undertaken by Simon de Magistris, whose edition was published at Rome in Routh [ReliquicB Sacra, tom.

The student will, however, find a complete modern list of them, together with other valuable matter, in Harnack, Altchrist. Several compositions mentioned by Eusebius and Jerome are only known to us by name, unless some of the short extracts attributed to Dionysius come from one or other of them, and the contents of them are almost wholly matter for conjecture.

Forster, de doctrin. Of these the second is the most important for the general student. Salmond produced a serviceable translation of the fragments in T. Clark's series, Edin- burgh , and since then we have had Dr. Gifford's in his scholarly edition of Eus. For the general history of the period much valuable help will be found in Archbishop Benson's Cyprian, London, ; P. AUard, Histoire des Persecutions, vols. A full collection of all the genuine and doubtful extracts appeared in the series of Cambridge Patristic Texts, with introductions and notes by the present editor, in So they being aroused by him and availing themselves of all lawful authority for their unholy doings, conceived that the only piety, the proper worship of their gods was this — to thirst for our blood.

Then they led a believer named Quinta to the idol-house and tried to make her kneel down, and, when she turned away in disgust, they bound her by the feet and hauled her right through the city over the rough pavement, the big stones bruising her poor body, and at the same time beat her till they reached the same spot, and there stoned her. Thereupon they all with one 1 It looks as if Dionysius was afraid to mention his name.

Perhaps it was Sabinus the Prefect. The word " poet " in Greek means properly "maker," and there is evidently a double entendre in its use here. But the brethren gave way and sub- mitted and accepted the plundering of their posses- sions with joy like unto those of whom Paul also testified. Another notable case was that of the aged virgin ApoUonia, whom they seized and knocked out all her teeth, striking her on the jaws : then they made a pyre before the city and threatened to burn her alive, if she would not join them in uttering blasphemies.

But she asked for a brief respite, and being let go, suddenly leapt into the fire and was devoured by the flames. Sarapion, also, they caught in his own house, and after outraging him with cruel tortures and crushing all his limbs, they cast him headlong from the upper storey. And we could go by no high road, thoroughfare, or byway, either by day or by night ; for ever5rwhere and always there was a constant cry that any one who did not utter words of blasphemy must be dragged off and burnt. It will be noticed that Dionysius attributes this Epistle to S. Paul, either inadver- tently or in accordance with the Alexandrine tradition, which Origen also accepts Eus.

And, in fact, the edict arrived, which was itself almost to be compared with that foretold by the Lord, well-nigh the most terrible of all, so as to cause, if possible, even the elect to stumble. About such the Lord's prediction is most true that with difficulty shall they be saved. Philip the Arabian, who was popularly supposed to be half a Christian. And a soldier who stood by as they were carried along and protested against those who insulted them was denounced and brought up, to wit God's brave warrior Besas, and after heroic conduct in the great war of piety was beheaded.

Then were delivered up three Egyptians : Heron, Ater and Isidore, and with them Dioscorus, a lad of about fifteen. And first of all the Prefect tried to cajole the stripling with words, thinking he could easily be won over, and then to force him by tor- ments, thinking he would soon give in, but Dioscorus was neither persuaded nor forced.

So the others he cruelly lacerated, and when they, too, stood firm, handed them over to the fire ; but Dioscorus, who had distinguished himself in public and had answered his private questionings most wisely, he let off, saying that he granted him a reprieve for repenting, on account of his age.

And now 2 the godly Dioscorus is still with us, having waited for his longer trial and his more determined conflict.

So these soldiers walked in brave procession from the court and rejoiced in their witness martyrdom , God giving them a glorious triumph. Ischyrion acted as steward to one of the authorities at a wage.

Chaeremon was the aged Bishop of what is called Nilopolis. And these things I have described at length, brother, not without purpose, but in order that thou mightest know how many terrible things have taken place amongst us, of which those who have had more experience will know of more cases than I do. What ought we to do? Shall we acquiesce and assent to them and maintain their decision and concession and treat kindly those to whom they have extended mercy? There was a certain aged believer amongst us, Sarapion, who had lived blame- lessly for a long time but yielded to temptation.

This man often begged to be restored, but no one heeded him; for he had sacrificed. But he fell ill, and for three days in succession he remained speechless and unconscious.

Then recovering a little on the fourth day, he called to him his nephew and said : " How long, my child, do ye keep me back? Call thou one of the elders presbyters. The boy ran for the elder, but it was night and he was ill and could not come. LETTERS 43 departing life asked and especially when they chanced to have made supplication even before, they should be absolved in order that they might depart in good hope ; he gave the boy, therefore, a morsel of the Eucharist, bidding him moisten it and drop it into the old man's mouth. The lad went back with it. When he drew near, before he entered, Sarapion revived again and said: "Hast come, child?

The presbyter could not come, but do thou quickly what he bade thee, and let me go. Was he not clearly sustained and kept alive until he was absolved that, with his sin wiped out, he might be acknowledged by the Lord for the many good things he had done? To Germanus a Bishop Eus.

And this was ordered by the Providence of God, as after events have shown, in which perchance we have been useful to some. But arriving afterwards, he found the house empty and servants guarding it, and us carried off prisoners. And further on — 3 And what is the manner of His wonderful dis- pensation? And he told the truth, and when the other heard it now he was going to a marriage revel : for it is their custom to pass the whole night at such gatherings , he entered and informed those who were reclining at table.

But they bade me rise and go out as quickly as I could. And then I, understanding why they had come, cried out begging and praying them to depart and leave us, and if they would do us a good turn, I besought them to forestall those who had carried me off and cut off my head themselves. And while I thus cried, as they know who shared and took part in everything, they raised me by force, and when I let myself down on my back to the ground, they took and led me out, dragging me by the arms and legs.

And there followed me those who had been witnesses of all this, Gains, Faustus, Peter and Paul, and they also helped to carry me out of the township in their arms, and then putting me on a barebacked ass, led me away.

Mark xiv. Tobit xii. And one of the brethren who was present from Rome came in with us. Now iEmilian did not say to me at the start, " Do not summon " the brethren for public worship : for that was superfluous and the last thing to insist on , since he was going back to the very beginning of the matter. For the question was not about summoning others but about not being Christians ourselves, and it was from this that he bade us desist, thinking that if I should change my mind, the others would follow me.

Upon this he bade us go away to a village on the borders of the desert named Cephro. I Pet. I, etc. Valerian and his son Gallienus.
