99 Serapion the bishop PL 23, 699

Serapion, bishop of Thmuis, who on account of his cultivated genius was found worthy of the surname of Scholasticus, was the intimate friend of Anthony the monk, and published an excellent book Against the Manichaeans, also another On the titles of the Psalms, and valuable Epistles to different people. In the reign of the emperor Constantius he was renowned as a confessor.

933 Serapion, Thmueos episcopus, qui ob elegantiam ingenii cognomen Scholastici meruit, charus Antonii monachi, edidit adversum Manichaeum egregium librum, et de psalmorum titulis alium, et ad diversos utiles epistolas, et sub Constantio principe etiam in confessione inclytus fuit.

934 Σαραπίων, Θμούεως ἐπίσκοπος, ὁ διὰ τὴν εὐφυΐαν ἐπονομασθεὶς Σχολαστικὸς, γνήσιος φίλος Ἀντωνίου μοναχοῦ, ἐξέδωκε κατὰ Μανιχαίου ἐξαίρετον βίβλον, καὶ περὶ ἐπιγραφῆς Ψαλμῶν ἑτέραν, καὶ πρὸς διαφόρους ἀναγκαίας ἐπιστολὰς, καὶ ἐπὶ Κωνσταντίου ἐν τῇ ἐξομολογήσει διέπρεψεν.
