in some negotiations with Pope Vigilius, then at Chalcedon at this time he possessed, in addition to his other honours, the dignity of ex-consul or consul codicillaris, and the office of referendarius. (Vigil. Papa, Epistola ad Universam Eccles. apud Concilia, vol. iii. col. 3. ed. Hardouin.) In A. D. 562 Peter was again sent to arrange the terms of a peace with Chosroes; and meeting Zichus, the Persian commissioner at or near Dara in Mesopotamia, and afterwards proceeding to the court of Persia to negotiate with Chosroës himself, succeeded in concluding a treaty. Menander, who has narrated the affair at length (Excerpta de Legationibus, pp. 133-147, ed. Paris, pp. 88-99, ed. Venice, pp. 346-373, ed. Bonn), has given at some length several of the speeches of Peter during the negotiation. Peter died shortly after. (Menander, ibid.) Some suppose he is the Petrus Rhetor mentioned in an Epigramma (No. xviii.) of Leontius in the Anthologia (vol. iii. p. 107, ed. Brunck, vol. iv. p. 77, ed Jacobs), as killed by the falling of a theatre. He left a son named Theodore, who successively held the offices of magister officiorum and "comes largitionum," and was sent by the emperor Justin II. (A. D. 576) on an embassy to Chosroes. (Menander apud Excerpta, p. 120, ed. Paris, p. 80, ed. Venice, p. 319, ed. Bonn, cum nota Valesii.) Peter was held in the highest esteem in his own day. Niebuhr has collected various testimonies of his reputation from Byzantine authors.

which of his works Peter published the account of his negotiations with Chosroes, whether in one of those mentioned by Suidas, or in some other work not mentioned. Menander, who cites the work (apud Excerpta, p. 429, ed Bonn), describes it as TоÛ AUTOÙ Пéтpov ovvaywyń, Ejusdem Petri Collectio, a title somewhat indefinite, but which seems to indicate a different work from either of those mentioned by Suidas. The accounts could not have been given in the Historiae, unless this came down to a much later period than Niebuhr supposes; but it may have formed part of the De Reipublicae Statu, if we suppose a part of that work to have been devoted to defining and illustrating the duty of ambassadors. All the remains of Peter are given in the Bonn edition of the Excerpta de Legationibus, and the valuable prefatory dissertation by Niebuhr, De Historicis quorum Reliquiae hoc Volumine continentur, has been our chief guide in this article. (Compare Reiske's Praefutio, c. ii. to the work of Constantine Porphyrogenitus De Caeremoniis; the dissertation by Mai, De Fragmentis Politicis Petri Magistri, in the volume already cited of his Scriptorum Veterum Nova Collectio, pp. 571, &c.; Fabric.

Niebuhr conjectures that Peter epitomized the Historia of Dion Cassius as far as that work extended. The De Statu Reipublicae is conjectured by Angelo Mai to be the anonymous work composed in the form of a dialogue between the patrician Menas and the referendarius Thomas Пepl TOAITIKŃS, De Re publica, briefly analysed by Photius (Biblioth. Cod. 37), and of which Mai considered large fragments, deciphered in a palimpsest, and published by himself under the title Пep BOAITIKĀS ÉRIOTŃUNns, De Scientia Politica, in his Scriptorum Veterum Nova Collectio, vol. ii. pp. 590, &c. to be a part. But if the work mentioned by Suidas be, as is most likely, that in which Peter defined the duties of a magister officiorum, as noticed by Joannes Lydus (De Magistratibus, ii. 25, 26), and from which considerable portions (lib. i. c. 84, 85, certainly, and c. 86-95, probably) of the work of Constantine Porphyrogenitus De Caeremonis Aulae Byzantinae are taken, it must have been a different kind of work from that described by Photius. It is not ascertained in

30. Of SEBASTE, an ecclesiastic of the fourth century. He was the youngest of the ten children of Basil and Emmelia, wealthy and excellent persons of Caesareia in Cappadocia, who had the happiness of numbering among their children those eminent fathers of the church, Basil the Great [BASILIUS, No. 2], and Gregory of Nyssa [GREGORIUS NYSSENUS, St.]. Peter was born, according to Tillemont's calculation, before A. D. 349, and almost immediately before his father's death. His early education was conducted by his sister St. Macrina, who, in the emphatic phrase of Gregory of Nyssa, "was every thing to him, father, teacher, attendant (#aιdaywyds), and mother." The quickness of the boy enabled him readily to acquire anything to which his attention was directed; but his education appears to have been conducted on a very narrow system; profane learning was disregarded; and the praise given him by his brother Gregory that he attained, even in boyhood, to the heights of philosophy, must be taken with the limitation which such a restrictive system would necessarily imply. If, however, his literary culture was thus

treatise and in the Explicatio in Hexameron, speaks of him in the highest terms. A work extant in Arabic, bearing the title of Demonstratio, cited by Abraham Echellensis (Eutych. Vindic. Pars ii. p. 486, and Not. ad Catalog. Hebedjesu, p.51), is ascribed to the three brothers, Basil, Gregory, and Peter; but its genuineness is, to say the least, very doubtful. (Greg. Nyssen. De Vita S. Macrinae; Basil. ll. cc. ; Theodoret, ll. cc.; Tillemont, Mémoires, vol. ix. p. 572, &c.; Le Quien, Oriens Christianus, vol. i. col. 424; Cave, Hist. Litt. ad ann. 370, vol. i. p. 246.)

narrowed, his morals were preserved pure; and if he fell short of his more eminent brothers in variety of attainments, he equalled them in holiness of life. The place of his education appears to have been a nunnery at Annesi or Annesa on the river Iris, in Pontus, established by his mother and sister: and with them, or in the monastery which his brother Basil had established on the other side of the river, much of his life was passed. In a season of scarcity (A. D. 367, 368?) such was his benevolent exertion to provide for the destitute, that they flocked to him from all parts, and gave to the thinly-peopled neighbourhood in which he resided the appearance of a populous town. He had the satisfaction of being PEUCESTAS (ПEUKÉσтas). 1.

(Basil. Maritimis Episcopis Epistola lxxvii. editt. vett., cciii. edit. Benedictin.) Peter, however, retained a house, which Basil describes as near Neocaesareia (Basil, Meletio Epistola cclxxii. editt. vett., ccxvi. edit. Benedictin), but which was probably at or near Annesi, where he had been brought up, and where his sister Macrina still resided. It was probably after the death both of Basil and Macrina, about the year 380, as Tillemont judges, that Peter was raised to the bishopric of Sebaste, (now Siwas) in the Lesser Armenia. A passage of Theodoret (H. E. iv. 30) has been thought to imply that he was raised to the episcopate during the reign of Valens, which terminated in A. D. 378; but the passage only implies that he took an active part in the struggle carried on during that reign by the bishops of the orthodox party against Arianism, which he might very well do, though not himself a bishop. His elevation preceded the second general council, that of Constantinople, A.D. 380— 381, in which he took part. (Theodoret, H. E. v. 8.) In what year he died is not known: but it was probably after A. D. 391; and certainly before the death of his brother, Gregory of Nyssa (who survived till A. D. 394, or later), for Gregory was present at Sebaste at the first celebration of his brother's memory, i. e. the anniversary of his death, which occurred in hot weather, and therefore could not have been in January or March, where the martyrologies place it. (Greg. Nyssen, Epistol. ad Flavian. Opera, vol. iii. p. 645, &c. ed. Paris, 1638.)

The only extant writing of Peter is a letter prefixed to the Contra Eunomium Libri of Gregory of Nyssa, and published with the works of that father. It is entitled Τοῦ ἐν ἁγίοις πατρὸς ἡμῶν Πέτρου ἐπισκόπου Σεβαστείας ἐπιστολὴ πρὸς τὸν ἅγιον Γρηγόριον Νύσσης τὸν αὐτοῦ ἀδελφόν, Sancti Patris nostri Petri Episcopi Sebasteni ad S. Gregorium Nyssenum fratrem suum Epistola. Peter does not appear to have been ambitious of authorship, and probably felt the disqualification arising from his restricted education. Some of the works of his brother Gregory were, however, written at his desire, such as the above-mentioned treatises against Eunomius and the Explicatio Apologetica in Hexaëmeron. The De Hominis Opificio is also addressed to him by Gregory, who, both in this

2. Son of Alexander, a native of the town of Mieza, in Macedonia, was a distinguished officer in the service of Alexander the Great. His name is first mentioned as one of those appointed to command a trireme on the Hydaspes (Arr. Ind. 18). Previous to this we do not find him holding any command of importance; but it is evident that he must have distinguished himself for his personal valour and prowess, as he was the person selected by Alexander to carry before him in battle the sacred shield, which he had taken down from the temple of Athena at Ilium. In this capacity he was in close attendance upon the king's person in the assault on the capital city of the Malli; and all authors agreed in attributing the chief share in saving the life of Alexander upon that occasion to Peucestas, while they differed as to almost all the other circumstances and persons concerned (Arr. Anab. vi. 9, 10, 11; Plut. Alex. 63; Diod. xvii. 99; Curt. ix. 5. § 14). For his services on this occasion he was rewarded by the king with almost every distinction which it was in his power to confer. On the arrival of Alexander at Persepolis, he bestowed upon Peucestas the important satrapy of Persia, but, previous to this, he had already raised him to the rank of somatophylax, an honour rendered the more conspicuous in this instance by the number of those select officers being augmented on purpose to make room for his admission. At Susa, also, Peucestas was the first of those rewarded with crowns of gold for their past exploits (Arr. ib. vi. 28, 30, vii. 5). After this he proceeded to take possession of his government, where he conciliated the favour of the Persians subject to his rule, as well as that of Alexander himself, by adopting the Persian dress and customs, in exchange for those of Macedonia. (Id. vi. 30, vii. 6 ; Diod. xix. 14.)

In the spring of B. c. 323, Peucestas joined the king at Babylon, with an army of 20,000 Persian troops; and is mentioned as one of those in attendance upon him during his last illness. It does not appear that he took any leading part in the discussions that ensued upon the death of Alexander, but in the division of the provinces that followed, he obtained the renewal of his government of Persia, which he also retained in the second partition at Triparadeisus, B. c. 321 (Arr. Anab. vii. 23, 24, 26, ap. Phot. p. 69, b. 71, b.; Diod. xvii. 110, xviii. 3, 39; Dexipp. ap. Phot. p. 64, b. ; Justin. xii. 4).

1. JOANNES, logotheta (clerk of accounts) under the Emperor Andronicus senior, was promoted to be magnus logotheta (Cancellarius, according to Du Cange, s. v.), under Michael senior Palaeologus. He was a correspondent of Gregory of Cyprus and Maximus Planudes. His praises are celebrated, and allusions to his progress in court distinction contained, in some Greek verses, published in the old edition of Fabricius (Bibl. Graec. vol. x. p. 542).

He lived towards the

close of the thirteenth century.

Phaeax was of engaging manners, but had no great abilities as a speaker. According to Eupolis (ap. Plut. Alcib. 13) he was a fluent talker, but quite unable to speak. (Comp. A. Gellius, N. 4. i. 15.) Aristophanes gives a description of his style of speaking (Equit. 1377, &c.), from which we also gather that, on one occasion, he was brought to trial for some capital offence (én autopúpw kolvóuevos, Schol.) and acquitted.

There has been a good deal of controversy respecting the speech against Alcibiades, commonly attributed to Andocides, which Taylor maintained to be the production of Phaeax. Plutarch (Alcib. 13), according to the opinion of most editors, speaks of an oration against Alcibiades, reported to be the production of Phaeax. It seems not unlikely that he refers to the very oration which is extant, the passage which he quotes (though not quite accurately) being found in the speech in question, which could not have been written by Andocides, as the author speaks of the rival claim of himself, Nicias, and Alcibiades being decided by ostracism. There are, however, strong reasons for believing that it is the production of some rhetorician writing in the name of Phaeax. The style

does not at all resemble what the notice in Aristophanes would lead us to expect; and the writer betrays himself by various inaccuracies. If then the speech was written as if by Phaeax, and re

liance can be placed on the biographical notices in
it (which are in part at least borne out by good
authorities), Phaeax was four times put upon his
trial for life, and each time was acquitted (§ 8, 36.

2. An Epicurean philosopher, a contemporary of Cicero, who became acquainted with him in his youth at Rome (Cic. ad Fam. xiii. 1. § 2). During his residence in Athens (B. c. 80) Cicero renewed his acquaintance with him. Phaedrus was at that time an old man, and was the president of the Epicurean school (Cic. Phil. v. 5. § 13, de Nat. Deor. i. 33. § 93, de Fin. i. 5. § 16). He was also on terms of friendship with Velleius, whom Cicero introduces as the defender of the Epicurean tenets in the De Nat. Deor. (i. 21. § 58; comp. Madvig. ad Cic. de Fin. p. 35), and especially with Atticus (Cic. de Fin. i. 5. § 16, v. 1. § 3, &c.). He occupied the position of head of the Epicurean school till B. C. 70 (Phot. Cod. 97, p. 84, ed. Bekker), and was succeeded by Patron [PATRON]. Cicero especially praises his agreeable manners. He had a son named Lysiadas.

The prologue to the first book states that the fables are Aesop's matter turned into iambic verse:Aesopus auctor quam materiam repperit, Hanc ego polivi versibus senariis."

This

66

prologue also adds that the object was to amuse and to instruct. The prologue to the second book intimates a somewhat freer handling of the old fabulist's material. In the prologue to the third book he still refers to Aesop as his model :"Librum exarabo tertium Aesopi stilo." There is no prologue to the fourth book; and in the prologue to the fifth book he intimates that he had often used the name of Aesop only to recommend his verses. Accordingly, many of the fables of Phaedrus are not Aesopian, as the matter clearly shows, for they refer to historical events of a much later period (v. 1, 8, iii. 10). Many of the fables, however, are transfusions of the Aesopian fables, or those which pass as such, into Latin verse. The expression is generally clear and concise, and the language, with some few exceptions, as pure and correct as we should expect from a Roman writer of the Augustan age. But Phaedrus has not escaped censure, when he has deviated from his Greek model, and much of the censure is just. The best fables are those in which he has kept the closest to his original.

Cicero (ad Att. xiii. 39) mentions, according to the common reading, two treatises by Phaedrus, Þaidpov meрiooŵv et 'Exλádos. The first title is corrected on MS. authority to Пepi Jev. Some critics (as Petersen) suppose that only one treatise is spoken of, Пepl Jeŵv кal Пaλλados. Others (among whom is Orelli, Onom. Tull. s. v. Phaedrus) | adopt the reading et 'EAλádos, or at least suppose that two treatises are spoken of. An interesting fragment of the former work was discovered at Herculaneum in 1806, and was first published, though not recognised as the work of Phaedrus, in a work entitled Herculanensia, or Archaeological and Philological Dissertations; containing a Manuscript found among the ruins of Herculaneum, London, 1810. A better edition was published by Petersen (Phaedri Epicurei, vulgo Anonymi Herculanensis, de Nat. Deor. Fragm. Hamb. 1833). Cicero was largely indebted to this work of Phaedrus for the materials of the first book of the De Natura Deorum. Not only is the development of the Epicurean doc-donia in the middle part of the fifteenth century. trine (c. 16, &c.) taken from it, but the erudite account of the doctrines of earlier philosophers put in the mouth of Velleius, is a mere translation from Phaedrus. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. iii. p. 603; Krische, Forschungen auf dem Gebiete der alten Phil. vol. i. p. 27, &c.; Preller, in Ersch and Gruber's Encyklopädie.) [C. P. M.]

The MSS. of Phaedrus are rare, which circumstance, combined with a passage of Seneca (Consol. ad Polyb. 27)," that fable-writing had not been attempted by the Romans," and an expression of N. Perotti, has led some critics to doubt their genuineness, and even to ascribe them to Perotti; an opinion, however, which Perrotti's own attempts at verse-making completely disprove.

Another collection of thirty-two fables, attributed to Aesop, has been published from a MS. of the same N. Perotti, who was archbishop of Manfre

This collection is entitled Epitome Fabularum, and was first published at Naples, in 1809, by Cassitti. Opinions are much divided as to the genuinenes of this collection. The probability is, that the Epitome is founded on genuine Roman fables, which, in the process of transcription during many centuries, have undergone considerable changes.

PHAEDRUS. Ninety-seven fables in Latin The first edition of the five books of fables of iambic verse (ed. Orelli), distributed in five books, Phaedrus was by P. Pithou, 1596, 12mo., which are attributed to Phaedrus. The first writer who was from a MS. that is supposed to belong to the mentions Phaedrus is Avienus, unless one of tenth century. The last and only critical edition of Martial's epigrams (iii. 20) alludes to him, and the fables is by J. C. Orelli, Zürich, 1831, 8vo., which there is no sufficient reason for doubting that contains the Aratea of Caesar Germanicus. Orelli the author of the fables is meant. The little has not always displayed judgment in his choice of that is known of Phaedrus is collected or in- the readings. The last edition of the thirty-two ferred from the fables.
