Philosenus (.\khsenata) of Mabbogh, b. at Ta- hal, in the Persian province of Beth-Garmai in the second quarter of the fifth century; d. at Gangra, in Paphlagonia, r^2'.i. He studied at Edessa when Ibas was bishop of that city (43.5-,'57). Shortly after he joined the ranks of the Monophysites and became their most learned and coinapeous champion. In 485 he was appointed Bishop of Hierapolis, or Mabbogh


(iManbidj) by Peter the Fuller. He continued to attack the Decrees of Chalcedon and to defend the "Henoticon" of Zeno. He twice visited Constanti- nople in the interests of his party, and in 512 he per- suaded the Emperor Anastasius to depose Flavian of Antioch and to appoint Severus in his stead. His tri- umph, however, was short-lived. Anastasius died in 518 and was succeeded by the orthodox Justin I. By a decree of the new ruler the bishops who had been de- posed under Zeno and Anastasius were restored to their sees, and Philoxenus, with fifty-three other Monophysites, was banished. He went" to Philippop- ohs, in Thrace, and afterwards to Gangra where he was murdered.

Philoxenus is considered one of the greatest masters of Syriac prose. He wrote treatises on liturgy, exe- gesis, moral and dogmatic theology, besides many letters which are important for the ecclesiastical history of his time. Notice must be taken of the Philo.xenian Syriac version of the Holy Scriptures. This version was not Philoxenus's o^\ti work, but was made, upon his request and under his direction, by the chorepisco- pus Polycarp about 505. It seems to have been a free revision of the Peshitta according to the Lucian re- cension of the Septuagint. It is not known whether it extended to the whole Bible. Of the Philoxenian ver- sion of the Old Testament we have only a few frag- ments of the Book of Isaias (xxviii, 3-17"; xlii, 17-xlix, IS; Ixvi, 11-23) preserved in Syr. MS. Add. 17106 of the British Museum, and pubhshed by Ceriani. Of the New Testament we have the Second Epistle of St. Peter, the Second and Third Epistles of St. John and the Epistle of St. Jude, all of which are printed in our Syriac Bibles. There remain also a few fragments of the Epistles of St. Paul (Rom., vi, 20; I Cor., i, 28; II Cor., vii, 13; x, 4; Eph., vi, 12), first published by Wiseman from Syr. MS. 153 of the Vatican. Gwynn is of the opinion that the Syriac text of the Apocalj^Dse published by himself in 1897 probablj' belongs to the original Philoxenian.

Fhocsea, titular see in Asia, suffragan of Ephesus. The town of Phocsa was founded in the eleventh century B. c. by colonists from Phocidia led by two Athenians. They settled first on a small island on the neighbouring coast, a territory given by the Cymaeans, between the Bays of Cj'maeus and Her- maus, 23 miles north of Smyrna. It was ad- mitted to the Ionian Confederation after having accepted kings of the race of Codrus. Its fine posi- tion, its two ports, and the enterprising spirit of the inhabitants made it one of the chief maritime cities of ancient times. Historians speak of it but rarelj' before the Roman wars against Antiochus. The pra-tor .Emilius Regillus took possession of the town (189 n. c.) ; he disturbed neither its boundaries nor its laws. During the war against .\ristonicus, who reclaimed the throne of Pergamum, the Phoca'ans took his part and, through the intervention of M.a.ssilia, escaped being severely punished by the Romans. At the time the
