JOANNES. ouTa e^ayopevffai tov eavrov irvevixariKov Trarepa, Ad eos qui Peccatorum Confessionem Patri suo Spirittuxli edituri sunt Sermo ; also given by Mori- niis (pp.91 — 97). But Morinus himself doubts the genuineness of this work, and Oudin {I. c.) de- nies it altogether. 3. Tl^pi fxcTauolas koi lyKpa- Tflas /cat Trapdevlas KSyos^ Sermo de Poenitentia, Conlinentia, et Virginitate. This discourse is in some MSS. ascribed to Chrysostom, and is printed in the editions of his works by Morell, vol. i. p. 809, and Savil, vol. vii. p. 641. 4.

This discourse, which is ascribed in some MSS. to Chrysostom, and printed in some editions of his works (vol, vii. p. 221, ed. Savil, who, however, regards it as spurious, vol. viii. ed. Montfaucon, in Spuriis, p. 72, or p. 701 in the reprint of Montfaucon's edition, Paris, 1836), is by Vossius, Petavius, Cave, and Assemani ascribed to John of Cappadocia. 5. De Sacramento Baptis- matis ad Leandrum Hispalensem. This work, mentioned by Isidore of Seville {De Scriptorib. Ecdes. c. 26), is lost: it contained only a collection of passages from older writers on the subject of trine immersion. 6. Epistolarum ad diversos Li- ber. This work, which is mentioned by Trithe- niius (De Ecclesiasticis Scriptoribus, c. 224), is also lost. 7. Praecepta ad Moiiachum quendam, extant in MS. in the Vatican Library at Rome, and in the King's Library at Paris. 8. TiapayycKiai Sia- <popoi ro7s njcTTots, Jdmonitiones Diversae ad Fideles. Beside the above writings, there is reason to think that John of Cappadocia is the author of a Kavovdpiov^ Canonarium, describing the various depraved affections of the mind and the penance suitable to each, given by Morinus (ibid. pp. 101 — 117). The work is in some MSS. entitled

Natalis Alex- ander (Saec. X. and xi. pars iii. p. 571, apud Fa- bric. Bibl. Gr. vol. i. p. Q99, not. xx.) ascribes to John of Cappadocia the Epistola ad Cuesurium Monaclium, ascribed by others to Chrysostom, and celebrated for the testimony against transubstan- tiation contained in it : but his opinion appears to have been approved by few. (Cave, Hist. Litt. vol. i. p. 541 ; Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. xi. p. 108,&c.; Morinus, //. cc. ; Assemani, Biblioth. Juris Orlen- lalis, vol. iii. pp. 479 — 542.) 29. Carpathius. [Carpathius.] 30. Cassianus. [Cassianus.] 31. Charax (Xdpa^), a Greek grammarian of unknown date, author of a little treatise on the Enclitics, commonly but erroneously entitled Uepl TcSv iyKKivofxevoou. It was first published in the collection of grammatical treatises entitled T/ie- satirus Cormicopiae et Horti Adonidis, printed by Aldus, fol. Venice, 1496. fo. 226, &c. : and wa's again given among the pieces subjoined to the Iketionanum Graecum^ printed by Aldus, fol. Ve- JOANNES. 593 nice, 1524, and among those subjoined to that printed by Melchior Sessa and Petrus de Ravanis, fol. Venice, 1525. Yet, notwithstanding these three editions, it is described in the catalogue of MSS. in the King's Library at Paris, as "ineditus" ; and was given, as if for the first time, by Iriarte in the Regiae Bibliothecae Matritensis Codices Grot ci MSS. vol. i. p. 316, &c. There is another treatise of Joannes Charax, De Orthographia, extant in MS. Harles expresses his uncertainty whether the work printed by Aldus was the same as that given by Iriarte ; but a comparison of the two shows their identity. Gesner suspects that the work n^pX SiaXeKTCDv, printed in the Thesaurus Cornucopiae of Aldus, and usually ascribed to Joannes Philoponus [Philoponus], is by Joannes Charax. 32. Chrysoloras. [Chrysoloras.] 33. Chrysostomus. [Chrysostomus.] 34. CiNNAMUS. [CiNNAMUS.] 35. Of Citrus (now Kitro or Kidros), in Mace- donia, the ancient Pydna. Joannes was bishop of Citrus about A. d. 1200. He wrote 'AiroKpheis Trpos KcovaravrTvoi/ 'Apx'^'^'^o'/foTroj' Av^payiov rov Ka€daiav. Responsa ad Constantinum Cubasilum, A rclmpiscopum Dyrracliii, of which sixteen answers, with the questions prefixed, are given with a Latin version in the Jus Graeco-Romanum of Leun- clavius (fol. Frankfort, 1596), lib. v. p. 323. A larger portion of the Responsa is given in the Sy- nopsis Juris Graeci of Thomas Diplouaticius (Diplo- vatizio). Several MSS. of the Responsa contain twenty-four answers, others thirty-two ; and Nic. Comnenus Papadopoli, citing the work in his Prae- nol-iones Mystagogicae, speaks of a hundred. In one MS. Joannes of Citrus has the surname of Dalas- sinus. Allatius, in his De Consensu, and Contra Hottingerum, quotes a work of Joannes of Citrus, De Consuetuditdbus et Dogmatibus Latinorum. (Fa- bric. Bibl. Gr. vol. xi. pp. 341, 590 ; Cave, Hist. Litt. vol. ii. p. 279.) 36. Climacus. [Climacus.] 37. cobidas. [cobidas] 38. Of Constantinople, I. [See No. 27.] 39. Of Constantinople, 2. [See below, Jo- annes, Jurists, No. 3. J 40. Of Constantinople, 3. [See No. 28.] 41. Of Constantinople, 4. or Joannes VI. in the list of patriarchs of that city. He was appointed patriarch by the Emperor Philippicus Bardanes, a. d. 712, on account of his agreement with that emperor in his monothelite opinions, and in re- jecting the authority of the sixth oecumenical (third Constantinopolitan ) council. Cyrus, the predecessor of Joannes, was deposed to make way for him. According to Cave, Joannes was deposed not long after his elevation, in consequence apparently of the deposition of his patron Philippicus, and the eleva- tion of Artemius or Anastasius II. Theophanes does not notice the fate of Joannes, but records the elevation of his successor Germanus, metropo- litan of Cyzicus, to the patriarchate of Constan- tinople, a. D. 715. Joannes wrote 'EiriaroKr^ irpds Kwv(rTavT7vov rov dynaTarov iraTrau "PeafXTjs diroKo' I yeriKT^, Epistola ad Constantiimm Sanctissimum Por pam Romanum Jpologctica, in which he defends cer- tain transactions of the reign of Philippicus. This letter is published in the Concilia (vol. vi. col. 1407, ed. Labbe ; vol. xii. col. 196, ed. Mansi). It had previously been published in the Auclanum Novum of Combefis, vol. ii, p. 211. (Fabric.
