104 Apollinarius the bishop PL 23, 701

Apollinarus, bishop of Laodicea, in Syria, the son of a presbyter, applied himself in his youth to the diligent study of grammar, and afterwards, writing innumerable volumes on the Holy Scriptures, died in the reign of the Emperor Theodosius. There are extant thirty books by him Against Porphyry, which are generally considered as among the best of his works.

Apollinarius, Laodicenus Syriae episcopus, patre presbytero, magis grammaticis in adolescentia operam dedit, et postea in sanctas Scripturas innumerabilia scribens volumina, 937 sub Theodosio imperatore obiit. Exstant ejus adversus Porphyrium triginta libri, qui inter caetera ejus opera vel maxime probantur.

Ἀπολλινάριος, Λαοδικείας τῆς Σύρων ἐπίσκοπος, πατρὸς πρεσβυτέρου, ἐν τῇ νεότητι μᾶλλον τὴν γραμματικὴν ἤσκησεν, ὕστερον δὲ εἰς τὰς θείας Γραφὰς ἀναρίθμητα συντάξας τεύξη, Θεοδοσίου βασιλεύοντος ἐτελεύτησεν. 938 Εἰσὶν αὐτοῦ κατὰ Πορφυρίου τριάκοντα λόγοι, οἵτινες μεταξὺ τῶν ἄλλων αὐτοῦ συγγραμμάτων μᾶλλον ἐκρίθησαν.
