118 Lucius the bishop PL 23, 709

Lucius, bishop of the Arian party after Athanasius, held the bishopric of the church at Alexandria, until the time of the Emperor Theodosius, by whom he was deposed. Certain festal epistles of his, On the passover are extant, and a few short works of Miscellaneous propositions.

Lucius, post Athanasium Arianae partis episcopus, usque ad Theodosium principem, a quo et pulsus est, Alexandrinam ecclesiam tenuit. Exstant ejus solemnes de Pascha epistolae, et pauci variarum hypotheseon libelli.

Λούκιος, μετὰ Ἀθανάσιον Ἀρειανῆς θρησκείας ἐπίσκοπος, ἄχρι Θεοδοσίου βασιλεύοντος, παρ' οὗ καὶ ἐξεώθη, τὴν Ἀλεξανδρειανὴν κατέσχεν ἐκκλησίαν. Φέρονται τούτου περὶ τοῦ Πάσχα ἐπιστολαὶ, καὶ ὀλίγοι ποικίλων ὑποθέσεων λόγοι.
