Diatribe
(1,230 words)
[German version] A. Concept Diatribe is a modern concept which owes its existence to the fact that, based on Wilamowitz's [3] formal description of the Cynic Teles' popular-philosophical ‘sermons’ (3rd cent.BC), Usener [1. LXIX] and Wendland [2] introduced for these ‘diatribe’ as a generic term. It has stood the test of time, as long as it is taken as a kind of ancient
dialexis (first in [4]); originally as a synonym of
dialogos,
dialexis referred to any kind of conversation, but in the usage of philosophers and rhetors, it then came to mean a didactic, but also ent…

comes rerum privatarum (Cod. Theod. 10,1,8) and gained great influence at the court of Valens (Lib. Ep. 1449; 1456). As
praef. urbis Constantinopolitanae, C. was taken prisoner by the usurper Procopius in 365 (Amm. Marc. 26,7,4; Zos. 4,6,2) and possibly executed (Them. Or.7,92c). He was the recipient of…

Fastidius
(95 words)
[German version] Bishop in Britain in the 5th cent. AD; according to Gennadius (vir. ill. 57) author of two texts:
De vita Christiana (ad Fatalem) and
De viduitate servanda. His adherence to the Pelagians ( Pelagius), named in Prosper Tiro's
Chronicon of 429 (MGH AA 9,1, 472), is not proven. Leaving aside the
Epistula ad Fatalem (cf. CPL 763) used in sermon 20 of Caesarius of Arles (CPL 1008), any attribution of texts, including the so-called
Corpus Caspari (CPL 732-736), is disputed. Uthemann, Karl-Heinz (Amsterdam) Bibliography F. G. Nuvolone, s.v. F., Dictionnaire de Spiritu…
