Asterius the Sophist
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asterius the Sophist (died c. 341) was an Arian Christian theologian/heretic. Few of his writings have been recovered in their entirety (latest edition by Markus Vinzent). He is said to have been a pupil of Lucian of Antioch, but it is unclear to what extent this was the case. Fragments of his Syntagmation are preserved by Saint Athanasius and Marcellus of Ancyra. A collection of Homilies on the Psalms, including some Easter homilies, edited by Marcel Richard under his name, were written by another Asterius who lived in or around Antioch in c. 400.
