The position of Sur'ah at the entrance of the valley, wliich forms one of the iiililsfrom the great low- land, explains its fortilicaiioii by R<4ioboani. The spring is a short distance below the village, "a noble fountain" —this was at the end of April— "walled up sipiare with large hewn stones and gushing over with line water. As we passed on," continues Robinson, with a more poetical tone than is liis wont, "we overtook no less than twelve women toiling upwards to ihe village,eaeh with her jar of water on her head. The village, the fountain, the fiehls, the mountain, the females bearing water, all transported us back to ancient times, when in all probability the mother of Samson often in like man- ner visited the fountain and toiled homeward with her jar of water."— Smith.

Zosinius, pope in A.D. 417-418, successor to Inno- cent I, was by birth a Greek, and is noteworthy as a participant in the doctrinal controversies of his time, in which he first endorsed and then rejected doctrines re- garded as heretical, and also for his assertion of author- ity and his energetic labors in behalf of the supremacy of the Roman see. lie countermanded tlie condemna- tion of Pelagius and Ca'lestius, denounced by Innocent and the African synods; and in a letter t<i bishop Aure- lius of Carthage and others he censured the treatment they had received, declared them orthodox, and warned the bishops against sophistries in s|)eciilaiion. He also cited before his bar Paiilinus, the accuser of Pi4agiuf. The African bishops, however, held another sj^iod (I IX). which defended their course and censured Zosimiis for reopening a settled case, besiiles forbidiling the ilepart- ure of Paulinus for Rome. Zosimus endeavored to for- tify his position by a reference to the ec<-lesiasiioal au- thority derived by his see from Peter; but when the Africans obtained a sarnim re.^rrlpliiin ag.iinst the Pe- lagians from the emperor Ilonorius, he gave way, and for his part pronounced the condemnation of Pelagius and Ox'lestius in an Epistola Trarlaloria. This time he was opposed by eighteen Italian bishops, whom he at once declared deposeil. The deposition of the pn-s- byter Apiarius of Sicca, in Numidia, and his appeal to Zosimus against his bisliop, Trbanus, Inl to fre.sh dis- putes with the Africans. Zosimus refused to recognise the deposition, and sent three delegates to a syno.! con- vened at Carthage to demand the restoration of Apiarius.

Zosimus also interfered in the affairs of the Gallican bish- opis by appointing bishop Tatrockis of Arelate his vicar in Gaul, and conferring upon him the rights of metro- politan over the province of Yienne. His course ex- cited much opposition; but death put an end to his plans for aggrandizement in 418. See Schrockh, Kir- ckemicsch. (Leips. 1782), viii, 148 sq. ; Gieseler, Kirchen- gesi-h. (4th ed.
