Werke Asterius Urbanus The Extant Writings of Asterius Urbanus

iv.

And let not the spirit of Maximilla say (as it is found in the same book of Asterius Urbanus 1 ), "I am chased like a wolf from the sheep; I am no wolf. I am word, and spirit, and power." But let him clearly exhibit and prove the power in the spirit. And by the spirit let him constrain to a confession those who were present at that time for the very purpose of trying and holding converse with the talkative spirit--those men so highly reputed as men and bishops--namely, Zoticus of the village of Comana 2 , and Julian of Apamea, whose mouths Themison 3 and his followers bridled, and prevented the false and seductive spirit from being confuted by them.


  1. These words are apparently a scholium, which Eusebius himself or some old commentator had written on the margin of his copy. We gather also from them that Asterius Urbanus was credited with the authorship of these three books, and not Apollinaris, as some have supposed. ↩

  2. Comana seems to have been a town of Pamphylia. At least a bishop of Comana is mentioned in the epistle of the bishops of Pamphylia to Leo Augustus, cited in the third part of the Council of Chalcedon, [209]p. 391. [See p. 335, note 9, supra.] ↩

  3. Themison was a person of note among the Montanists, who boasted of himself as a confessor and martyr, and had the audacity to write a catholic epistle to the churches like an apostle, with the view of commending the new prophecy to them. See Euseb., v. 18. ↩
