In the Synodicon of bishop Beveridge (vol. ii, ad fin. pt. i) a short piece is given, of which the running title is Bcdsamon in Photii Interrogations quorinndam Mo- nachorum; but the insertion of the name of Photius is altogether incorrect; the work belongs to the time of the emperor Alexius I Comnenus. The Exegesis, or Commentary of Elias Cretensis on the Scala Paradisi of Joannes Climacus, is, in a MS. of the Coislinian library (Montfaucon, Bibl. Coislin. p. 141), improperly ascribed to Photius.
Two learned Romanists, Joannes Andresius and Ja- cobus Morellius, have in recent times contemplated the publication of a complete edition of the works of Pho- tius; the latter proceeded so far as to draw up a Con- spectus of his proposed edition (Mai, Proleg. p. xliv). But unfortunately the design has never been completed. Migne has published an edition in 4 vols. roy. 8vo, which he claims to be complete, but it is hardly as critical as the works of the greatest genius of his age deserves. This edition is entitled Photii. Constantinopolitani patri- archce, opera omnia in classes quinqut distributa: exe- getica, dogmatica, paraenetica, historica canonica, etc., accurante J. P.

Pliotius of T\i:i. another Eastern ecclesiastic, flourished near the middle of Lhe 5th century. < >n the deposition of [renaeus, bishop of Tyre, in A.l>. 1 18, Pho- tius was appointed his mii rosnr. Evagriua ( Hist. I.<- Cles. i. 10) makes the deposition of tremens (Hie of lhe
acts of the notorious < louncil of Ephesus, hekl in A.D. 449, and known a> the "Concilium Latrocinale ;" bul Tillemonl more correctly considers that the council only
confirmed the previous deposil I '/■ itoires, \\. 268).
Photius ofTyre was one of the judges appointed by the emperor Theodosius II. in conjunction with Eustathius, bishop of Berytus, and Uranius, bishop of Himera in Osrhoe'ne, to hear the charges againsl (has, bishop of Edessa. Photius, Eustathius, and Uranias mel al Be- rytus, and Photius and Eustathius again met al Tyro. in the year 148 or 149, heard the charges, acquitted Ibas, and brought about a reconciliation between him and his accusers, who were presbyters ofhis own < ihurch al Edi a (ConciL vol. iv, col. 627, etc., ed. Labbe ; vol. ii. col. 503, etc., cil. Hardouin). There is a considera- ble difficulty as to the chronology of these meetings, which is discussed by Tillemonl in two of his careful notes i '/■ m. \\ . 897, etc.). Photius was present at the Council of Ephesus, known as the "Concilium Latroci- nale," where he joined in acquitting the archimandrite Eutyches, and restoring him to his ecclesiastical rank from w hich he had been dep ised I ' 'oncil. vol. iv. coi. 260,
ed. Labbe; vol. ii, col. 220, ed. Hardouin). Al the
same time Photius had a contest with Eustathius, bishop of Berytus, who had obtained an edicl of the emperor Theodosius II. erecting Berytus into a metro- politan see. as to the extent of their respective jurisdic- tions. Tille n judges thai the dignity accorded to
the Bee of Berytus was designed to be merely titular, and that the stru^-de was occasioned 1 >y the attempt of Eustathius to assume metropolitan jurisdiction over some bishoprics previously under the jurisdiction of Tyre. In this attempt, being supported by the patri- archs Anatolius of Constantinople and Maxim us of An- tioch, lie effected his purpose; and Photius, after a Btruggle, was constrained, nol bo much by an excom- munication, which was speedily recalled, .as by a threat of deposition, to submit. The jurisdiction of the dio- tracted was, however, restored to Photius by the Council ofChalcedon, A.I>. 151 <<',,,,,;'. voL iv, col. 539, ed. Labbe; vol ii. col. 135, etc., ed, Hardouin). Photius was among those who at the same council vol eel that Theodorel was orthodox, and should be restored to his Bee (jConcU. col. 619, ed. Labbe; col. 195, ed. Har- douin). He als k pan in some of the other trans- actions of the assembly. Nothing further is known of him. There i~ extant one piece of Photius, entitled &tr\oue, Preces b. Supplex Libellus, addressed to the em- perora Valentinian III and Marcian, respecting the dis- pute with Eustathius of Berytus. It is given in the Actio Quarta of the Council ofChalcedon [ConcU. vol. iv, col. 542, etc., ed. Labbe; voL ii, col. 436, eta, ed.
