Joannes
35. Of CITRUS (now Kitro or Kidros), in Macedonia, the ancient Pydna. Joannes was bishop of Citrus about A. D. 1200.
He wrote
Ἀποκρίεσις πρὸς Κωνσταντῖνον Ἀρχιεπίσκοπον Δ̓υρραχίου τὸν Καβάσιλαν.
Response ad Constantinum Cabasilum, Archiepiscopum Dyrrachii, of which sixteen answers, with the questions prefixed, are given with a Latin version in the
Jus Graeco-Romanum of Leunclavius (fol. Frankfort, 1596), lib. v. p. 323.
A larger portion of the
Responsa is given in the
Synopsis Juris Graeci of Thomas Diplouaticitus (Diplovatizio). Several MSS. of the
Responsa contain twenty-four answers, others thirty-two; and Nic. Comnenus Papadopoli, citing the work in his
Praenotiones Mystagogicae, speaks of a hundred.
In one MS. Joannes of Citrus has the surname of Dalassinus. Allatius, in his
De Consensu, and
Contra Hottingerum, quotes a work of Joannes of Citrus,
De Consuetudinibus et Dogmatibus Latinorum. (Fabric.
Bibl. Gr. vol. xi. pp. 341, 590; Cave,
Hist. Litt. vol. ii.p. 279.)
