ON S. TARASIUS THE WONDER-WORKER
IN LYCAONIA.
CommentaryTarasius the Wonder-worker, in Lycaonia (S.)
G. H.
Various Saints, who flourished under the Patriarchate of Constantinople, are illustrated in the MS. Greek Synaxarium of the Church of Constantinople, which at Paris from the College of Clermont of the Society of Jesus we have on loan: and among these on this VIII day of May is S. Tarasius, of whom these few things are handed down: On the same day the memory of our Holy Father and Wonder-worker Tarasius, who flourished in Lycaonia. In the printed Menaea and in Maximus Bishop of the Cythereans on day IX March is mentioned S. Tarasius with bare name, whom we then thought perhaps was S. Tarasius Archbishop of Constantinople, of whom we have treated on XXV February, because of this Tarasius we had no notice: but now of this Wonder-worker we rather think it is treated there. Lycaonia is a region of Asia minor, whose Metropolis is Iconium, having under it nineteen other Episcopal cities, which after others Charles a S. Paulo enumerates in his Sacred Geography.
