ARETHAS (c. 860-940)

This article appears in Volume V02, Page 456 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARETHAS (c. 860-940) , Byzantine theological writer and scholar, archbishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia, was born at Patrae. He was the author of a Greek commentary on the
Apocalypse
 , avowedly based upon that of Andrew, his predecessor in the archbishopric. In spite of its author's modest estimate, Arethas's
work
  is by no means a slavish compilation; it contains additions from other sources, and especial care has been taken in verifying the references. His
interest
  was not, however, confined to theological literature; he annotated the margins of his classical texts with numerous scholia (many of which are preserved), and had several MSS. copied at his own expense, amongst them the Codex Clarkianus of Plato (brought to England from the monastery of St John in Patmos), and the Dorvillian MS. of Euclid (now at
Oxford
 ).
Most divergent opinions have been held as to the time in which Arethas lived; the reasons for the
dates
  given above will be found succinctly stated in the article " Aretas," by A. Julicher in Pauly-Wissowa's Realeneyclopadie der klassischen Altertumswissenschaft 1896). The text of the commentary is given in Migne, Patrologia raeca, cvi.; see also O. Gebhardt and A. Harnack, Texte and Untersuchungen zur Geschichte der altchristlichen Litt. i. pp. 36-46 (1882), and Vita Euthymii (patriarch of
Constantinople
 , d. 917), ed. C. de Boor (1888); H. Wace, Dictionary of Christian
Biography
 , i.; C. Krumbacher, Geschichte der byzantinischen Litteratur (1897) ; G. Heinrici in
Herzog
 -Hauck, Realencyklopedie (1897).
