Anastasius The Sinaite
Anastasius The Sinaite [1]
the younger (saint and martyr), succeeded Anastasius the elder in the see of Antioch in 599. He labored with great zeal for the conversion of the Jews, who revolted and killed him, Dec. 21, 608. He is supposed to be the author of a Greek translation of the work of Gregory the Great De Cura Pastorali, as well as of a treatise in Greek upon faith. A Latin translation of this last is found in the Bibliotheca Patrum. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, v.
the third of the name, patriarch of Antioch, was appointed to this see in 629 by the emperor Heraclius. He declared himself opposed to the Council of Chalcedon, and showed himself a partisan of the heretical doctrines of the Jacobites. He died in 649. He is probably the author of a Greek work on Heresies, which is found in MS. in the Imperial Library of Vienna. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v.
