This piece, which is perhaps not a homily, but the fragment of a letter, was published in the Ecclesia Greece Monumenta of Cotelerius, and has already been noticed in speaking of the Epistolm of Photius.

This piece was published, with a Latin version and notes, by Francesco Fontani, in the first volume of his Norte Eruditorum Deliciai (Florence, 1785, 12mo). The notes were such as to give considerable offence to the stricter Romanists. (Mai, Scriptor. Veter. Nov. Collect. Proleg. ad vol. i, p. xliv.)
L2. E(£ tov Aovkuv eppnveiai, In Lucam Expositi- ones. Some brief Scholia on the Gospel of Luke from MSS. Catenas, are given, with a Latin version, in vol. i of the Scriptorum Veterum Nova Collectio of Mai, p. 189, etc., but from which of Photius's works they are taken does not appear.
13. Canonica Responsa, addressed to Leo, archbishop of Calabria; also published, with a Latin version, by Mai {ibid. p. 362), from a Palimpsest in the Vatican Li- brary.
Many works of this great writer still remain in MS. : 1. ( 'ommentarius in I). Pauti Epistolas, a mutilated copy of which is (or was, according to Cave) in the public library at Cambridge. It is largely cited by CEcume- nius. 2. Catena in Psalmos, formerly in the Coislinian library, of which, according to Montfaucon (Bibl. Coislin. p. 58, 59), Photius appears to have been the compiler. But the Commentary on the Prophets. Piophetarum Liber, ascribed to him by Cave, Fabricius, and others, appears to have no real existence ; the supposition of its existence was founded on the misapprehension of a passage in Possevino's Ajiparatus Sacer (Mai, Pro- let/, ut sup. p. 1). 3. Homilue Nil', extant in MS. at Moscow, of the subjects of which a list is given in the Auctarium. Novissimum (ad calc. vol. i) of Comberis, in the De Scripioribiis Ecch siasticis of Oudin (col. 210, etc.), and in the Bibl. Grcecei (xi, 30, etc.) of Fabricius. To these may be added two other homilies, De Ascen- sione,ai\d In Festo Epiphanice,«a& an Encomium Proto- Martyris Theclce (Fabricius, ibid.). 4. Odm. Nine are or were extant in a MS. former!}' belonging to the col- lege <it' < 'lermont, at Paris ; and three in an ancient Bar- beriui MS. at Pome. The latter are described by Mai {Proleg. p. xliv) as of moderate length, and written in pleasing verse. Some Epigrammata of Photius are said to be extant (Montfaucon, Bibl. Coislin. p. 520); but the ^rixnpov, In Methodium CW.,said to lie i;iven in the Acta Sanctorum, Junii, ii, 960, is not to be found there. 5. 'YjiriTopu) twv TrpaKTtKwv twv tirra oikov- uevikwv ffvvuCioi; Epitome A ctorum Coiicilinriim siptem Generalium. This is described by Cave and Fabricius as a different work from the published piece (No. 4, above). Some critics have doubted whether it is dif- ferent from the similar work ascribed to Photius of Tyre; but as this prelate lived in the time of the third or fourth councils, he could not have epitomized the A eta of the fifth, sixth, and seventh. Thus the Epitome cannot be by Photius of Tyre, whatever doubt there may be as to its being the work of our Photius. 6. The Syntagma Canonum has already been mentioned in speaking of the Nomocanon. 7.

Htpi tov ayiov Kai Zwottoiov Kai 7rpouKvvi]Tov YlvtvpaTOQ, Liber de Spiritu Sancto, ad- dressed to a bishop Bedas, and different from the pub- lished work (No. 9). It is described by Mai, who has
given some extracts {Proleg. p. xlv), as "liber lucu- lentus, varius, atque prolixus." It is ascribed in one MS., but by an obvious error, to Metrophanes of Smyr- na. 8.

Various other pieces are mentioned by Cave, Lambecius, Fabricius, and Mai, as extant in MS. ; but some of these are only fragments of the published writings (ibid. p. 1) enumerated by mistake as separate works. The work hi Categorias A ristotelis, now or formerly extant in Vienna and Paris, is apparently a part of the .1 mphilochia (ibid. p. xxxvi). The works De Episcopis it Mttrtijuilitis. and the Anno- tatio de Patriarch is suit sua iujuste pulsis, mentioned by Cave and Fabricius, appear to be either the Interroga- tiones decern published by Fontani, or a part of that work. (See No. 11 of the published works.) The Sym- bolum Fidei mentioned by Lambecius, Cave, and Harles (Fabricius, Bibl. Graze, xi, 30), is part of one of the let- ters to pope Nicholas; and the Liber de Pulsioin Tgnatii ac Restitutione mentioned by Montfaucon (Bibl. Bibli- othecarum, p. 123), is also part of a letter of pope Nich- olas; and the fragment De decern Oratoribus, mentioned by Vossius and others, and extant in MS. in the King's Library at Paris, is probably from the Bibliotheca (Mai, Proleg. p. 1). Some works have perished, as that against the heretic Leontius of Antioch, mentioned by Suidas (s. v. Keovtioq). Photius wrote also against the emperor Julian (Phot. Epist. 187, ed. Montac), and in defence of the use of images. Some writings, or frag- ments of writings, of his on this subject (A drersus Icono- machos et Paulicianos, and De Differentia inter sacras Imagines atque Idold) are extant in the Imperial Li- brary at Vienna, but whether in distinct works, or under what title, does not appear to be known.
