Unknown, Suda ι 401

   https://caesarea-maritima.org/testimonia/319

Context

The Suda (“Stronghold”) is an encyclopedic lexicon written by an unknown scholar during the late 10th century. It compiles copious information in alphabetical entries for use by the learned philologist, in particular on grammar, history, and biography, referring to a broad range of sources from Classical Antiquity to the Early Byzantine period. This passage from the end of the lemma on Jovian (s.v. Ἰοβιανός) mentions Acacius, the orthodox bishop of Caesarea in the 360s.

Text
