Leontius of Arabissus
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature
in Cappadocia, of which town he was bishop, flourished as an ecclesiastical writer. The period in which he lived, however, is quite uncertain. Photius has noticed two of his works: 1. Εἰς τὴν κτίσιν λόγος (Sernto de Creatione), and, 2. Εἰς τὸν Λάζαρον (De Lazaro), and gives extracts from both these works (Photius, Cod. 272). See also Cave, Hist. Liter. 1:551; Fabricius, Bibl. Graeca, 8:324; 10:268, 771. Smith, Dict. of Greek and Roman Biog. vol. 2, s.v.
