The divisions of the dioceses of the kingdom followed next. Their number was definitely fixed at ten ; and it was ordered that each province should constitute a dio- cese, which should bear the name of the province, and that the city which was the principal seat of the bish- opric should be the capital of the province. Since, however, by degrees fifty -three Greek bishops came forward who all needed some provision, forty provision- al sees were erected for such of them as were still able to superintend a diocese; the remainder were provided for in some other maimer. The names of the definitive sees were as follows, the provisional bishoprics we have not thought worth while to insert :
Corinth and Argolis..
Achaiaand Elis
Messenia
Arcadia
Laconiii
Acarnania and iEtolia.
Phocis and Locris
Attica and Boeolia

It was further arranged that in case of any vacancy of the provisional sees it should not be filled up, but the see should be united to the permanent diocese of the province, whose bishop had his seat in its capital : but this arrangement has not altogether been carried out. The synod is composed of a president, four members, who must be bishops, a secretary, a royal commissioner, and supernumerarv members. See Neale, Intrnd. Hist, of the Holy East.

• Naur, Elias Elkildses, a Danish divine and edu- cator, noted, however, mainly as a hymnologist, flour- ished in the early part of the last centun,-. He was a professor in the gymnasium at Odensee, in Funen, and died in 1728. He is known by us simply as the author of the Danish hymn translated by Sabine Barney (iould, " When my tongue can no more." See Miller, ^inyers and ISonf/s of the Church.
Nausea, Fkikdrich, a German theologian and ec- clesiastical diplomatist, was bom about 1480 atBleichfeld, or at the village of Weissenfeld, near Wurzburg. After having studied the canon law, he became preacher in the cathedral of Jlayence in 1526, and a short time after secretary of cardinal Campeggio; in 1534 he was called to Vienna as preacher of the imperial court, and in 1541 was promoted to the bishopric of that city, lie assisted at the Conference of Spire, and was sent to the Council of Trent as ambassador of the Koman emperor. Although a declared adversary of the Protestants, he counselled to employ no violence against them, but to have recourse to discussion, in which he excelled. He died at Trent Feb. 6, 1550. He was renowned as one of the first preachers of his time. We have of his works, Orutio ad Erusmum ut is proximo in Spira statuum conventui intersit (Vienna, 1524, 4to) : — A d Ca- rolum I, pro sedando plebeio in Germania tumultu (Vien- na, 1525, 8vo) : — Miscelluneornm libri ii, prior pro horis canonicis, alter pro missa apologeticus (^Mayence, 1527, 4to) : — Homiliarum centurice trts (Cologne, 1530; ibid. 1532):— /vi6?-» mirabilium vii (Mayence, 1531, and Co- logne, 1532, 4to; contains details of several extraor- dinary events of the time) : — Prediyttn iiber ulle Ei-ange- lien des Jahres (Mayence, 1 535, fol.) : — Sermones quadra- gesimales (Cologne, 1535, fol.) : — In Erasmum monodia (Cologne, 1536, 8vo): — Lepuero Uteris instituendo con- silia (Cologne, 1536) : — AdPaidum III rerum concilia- rvm libri v (Leipsic, 1538, fol.) : — Liber i responsorum ad aliquot Germanicce nationis adrersus sedem aposto- licam gravamina (Cologne, 1538, fol.) : — De Antichristo (Vienna, 1550, 4to): — Be novissima mortuorum resur- rectione (Vienna, 1551, 4to; Cologne, 1555, 8vo): — De consummatione hujus sceculi (Cologne, 1555, 8vo) : — Li- bri Hi methodi de ratione concionundi (printed several times) : — sermons, funeral orations, works of controversy, etc. Nausea had himself given, in 1547, a catalogue of his writings, published and in manuscript, which is found in the series of EpistoUe miscellanea; ad Fr. Nauseam : several of the latter perished at the burning of A'ienna in 1525 (see Hummel, Neue Bibliothek ron seltenen Biichern, 5th part). The (Fuvns completes of Nausea have been collected in one volume folio (Cologne, 1616). See Hoefcr, Noiir. Biog, Generale, s. v.
NausipheLnes, a Greek philosopher, was attached to the teachings of Democritus, and, according to Sextus Empiricus, was a disciple of I'vrrho. He had a large number of pupils, and was particularly famous as a rhet- orician. Epicurus was at one time one of his hearers, and as the latter could not deny this, although he was anxious to be considered a self-taught man, he waa obliged to content himself h\ abusing him, and main- taining that he had learnctl nothing from him.
