Patrophilus of Scythopolis, one of the leaders of the Eusebian or semi-Arian party in the 4th century, flourished as bishop of Scythopolis until A.D. 359, when he was deposed by the Council of Seleucia for contuma- cy, having refused to appear before that body to answer tlie charges of the presbyter Dorotheus (Socrates, JJist. Eccles. ii, 40 ; Sozomen, iv, 22). He must have died soon after, for his remains were disinterred and insult- ingly treated (I'heophaiKS, Chronographia) during the reaction which followed the temporary triumph of pa- ganism (A.D. 361-363) under Julian the Apostate. See Julian. Patrophilus appears to have been eminent for scriptural knowledge. Eusebius of Emesa is said to have derived his expositions of Scripture from the in- structions of Patrophilus and Eusebius of Cajsarea (Soc- rates, ii, 9; ; but Sixtus Senensis is mistaken in ascribing to Patrophilus a translation of the Old Testament from Hebrew into Greek (Sixtus Senens. Biblioth. Sacra, re- censita ab A. G. Masch. pt. ii. vol. ii, div. 1, § 23 ; Fabri- cius, Biblioth. Grac. iii, 716).

Patterson, A. O., D.D., a Presbyterian clergy- man and home missionary, was born in Fayette Co., Pa., July 1, 1794. He graduated at Washington Col- lege, Pa., and afterwards at Princeton Theological Seminary, and began to preach in 1820. His labors were varied and his pastorates numerous. First, as a missionary, he travelled from Pittsburgh, through Steubenville, Wheeling, Marietta, Oxford, Hamilton, Zancsville, Cleveland, and intermediate points, preach- ing the Gospel of Christ. During the succeeding four- teen years he was pastor at Mount Pleasant and Se- wickley, Pa., when, after much persuasion, he again engaged in missionary work. He, however, remained in this field only a short time; and returning to his pastoral work, he labored successively at Beaver, Pa., New Lisbon and Bethel, Ohio, and West Newton, Pa. The record of his labors in all these places, and also in connection with the Board of Missions, fully demon- strates his usefulness and efficiency. In 1864 he went to Oxford, Ohio, where he died, Dec. 14, 1868. See Appleton's Amer. An. Cijclop. viii, 584.
Patterson, James, a Presbyterian minister, was born at Ervina, Bucks Co., Pa., March 17, 1779. His earlj' educational opportunities were very limited, j'et, having entered Jefferson College, he graduated in 1804 ; studied theology at Princeton, and was licensed to preach Oct. 5, 1808. On August 9 following he was ordained, and installed pastor of the Church of Bound Brook, N. J., which charge he resigned in June, 1813. In September following he was unanimousl}' chosen pastor of the First Presbj-terian Church of the Northern Liberties, in Philadelphia, where his ministrations were successful, and where he continued until his death, Nov. 17, 1837. His publications consist of a Mission- ary Sernvm and several Tracts. A Memoir of his life was published by Rev. Robert Adair (Phila. 1840, 8vo). See also Sprague, Annals of the Amer. Pulpit, iv, 423 sq.
Patterson, James Cowan, D.D., a Presbyterian divine, was born in Abbeville District, S. C, Oct. 26, 1803. He was the child of pious parents, who brought him up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. In early life he felt called to the ministry, and obeved. He graduated among the first of his class at Franklin College, imder the presidential care of his early friend and pastor, the Rev. Dr. Moses Waddel. Immediately after graduating he was elected to a tutorship in his alma mater. During the years of his connection with the college he studied theologj^ under Dr. Waddel, and was licensed to preach bj' Hopewell Presbytery; was ordained Oct. 11, 1828, and called to the care of the Presliyterian churches of jNIacon and Milledgeville, Ga. He afterwards removed to Forsyth, and associated the duties of teacher with those of the ministrj' ; subse- quently he preached at Lawrenceville and Decatur, and was called to the presidency of the Gwinnett Institute, a high school for boj's and young men. From Gwin- nett he was called as president of the Synodical Female College at Griffin, Ga., which, under his devoted care and management, became a complete success and or- nament to society and the Church. His health soon after began to fail, and he died July 18, 1866. Dr. Patterson possessed a mind clear, retentive, and ac- curate. As a preacher he was direct, instructive, and unimpassioned ; as a teacher, faithful and thorough, so uniting decision with kindness as to gain the re- spect and love of his scholars. His steady, uniform piety was the distinguishing feature of his life, and YII.— D D D
