ON S. ARSENIUS, BISHOP OF CORCYRA.
CommentaryArsenius, Bishop of Corcyra (S.)
Corcyra is an island of the Ionian Sea, under the dominion of the Republic of Venice, commonly called Corfu; and in it a city of the same name, distinguished with archiepiscopal dignity, formerly subject to the Patriarch of Constantinople. Ferrarius writes in his general Catalogue of Saints that S. Arsenius was the first Archbishop placed over it, and that he is venerated there with great devotion, especially by the Greeks, on 19 January, and that his body is preserved in the Metropolitan church. We are ignorant of his era and his acts. There is no mention of him in the Greek Menaea.
