A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology (ed. William Smith), Ida'tius (search)
Ida'tius IDA'CIUS, or ITHA'CIUS, not to mention sundry other variations of the MSS., a native of Limica, in Gallicia, flourished during the latter half of the fifth century, was in all probability an ecclesiastic, and is known to us as the author of a Chronicum Works Chronicum Idatius arranged his Chronicum according to the succession of emperors, which commences A. D. 379, the point where Hieronymus breaks off, and extends down to A. D. 469, thus embracing a period of ninety years. In addition to the mere enumeration of names and dates, a short account of the principal occurrences is inserted, referring chiefly to Spanish affairs, and from A. D. 427 Idatius advances his own personal testimony to the truth of the events recorded. He seems to have executed his task with much care, and although a few errors have been detected here and there, the compilation must be regarded as a valuable repertory of naked historical facts.

under the emperors Anastasius and Justin I. he does not cite his authority, but he probably followed the statement of Theophanses, that Vitalian was the son of Patriciolus, by which name Marcellinus calls our Patricius; but Theophanes never gives the name Patriciolus to the son of Aspar, nor does there seem sufficient reason for identitfying these. It is difficult to ascertain the dates of these transactions; the elevation of Patricius is fixed by Cedrenus in the twelfth year of Leo, i. e. A. D. 469; the assassination of Aspar is placed by the Alexandrian Chronicle in the consulship of Pusaeus and Joannes, A.D. 467; by Theophanes in A. M. 5964; Alex. era, A. D. 472; and by the Latini chroniclers, Marcellinus, Cassiodorus, and Victor of Tunes, whose date is adopted by Tillemont, in A. D. 471; we do not attempt to reconcile these discrepancies. This Patricius, the son of Aspar, is to be distinguished from Patricius, magister officiorum, whom the intriguing empress Verina [VERINA], Leo's

instigation of Gennadius, he immediately expelled the intruder, in whose place Julian was with general approval elected. Peter was sentenced to banishment to the Oasis of Upper Egypt, but he contrived to escape from exile, and returning to Constantinople, obtained refuge in the monastery of the Acoemetae, where he remained till the revolt of Basiliscus against Zeno, having bound himself by oath to abstain from exciting further troubles. His usurpation of the See of Antioch may be placed in A. D. 469. When Basiliscus (A. D. 475) had expelled Zeno from Constantinople, it appears to have been his first policy to court the Monophysite party, whom Leo and Zeno had repressed; and, at the persuasion of Timotheus Aelurus, Monophysite patriarch of Alexandria, whom he had recalled from exile, he issued an encyclical letter to the various prelates of the church, anathematizing the decrees of the Synod of Chalcedon. To this letter Peter gave his formal assent: and obtained a decree restoring hi
