A Joannes Con- stantinopoHtanus, of whom nothing further is known, was the compiler of the first part of that division of the Collectanea of Constantino Porphyrogenitus, which bears the title TVepi UpeaSeiiiu^ De Legaiio- nibus. This first part was published by Fulvius Ursinus, 4to. Antwerp, 1582, with notes ; it was entitled 'E/c ruv TioXvSiov roC MeyaKoiroAiTov iK§oal irepl TrpcaSeMu^ with an addition to the title, printed on the back, in Latin, Fragmenia ex Uistoriis quae non extant Dionysii Halicamassei, Diodori Siculi, Appiani Ale-xandrini, Dionys Cassii Nicaei^ de Legationibiis ; Dio7iys Lib. Lrxix. et Ixxx. imperfectus. Emendationes in Polybium. This copious title enumerates the contents of the work, and indicates their value. (Ursinus, Praefatio ; Fabric. Bibl. Gr. vol. viii. p. 7.) 45. CuBiDius. [Cobidas.] 46. Cucuzeles (KovKou^ejs or Kou/foufe), a Greek musical composer of the later Byzantine period. Fabriciua says he was a bishop of Euchaita or Euchaitae [see No. 58] ; but we do not know the authority for this assertion, and doubt its correct- ness. Various MSS. of his musical compositions are extant, in some of which he is designated simply 6 fiaicTTiop, magister, in others that designation is prefixed to his name. Part of one of his pieces is given in an engraved plate to Martin Gerbert's work De Cantu et Musica Sacra^ vol. i. p. 587 ; and there is a notice of him in vol. ii. p. 7, of the same work. Joannes Cucuzeles is to be distinguished from Joasaph Cucuzeles, another Greek musical composer, of less reputation apparently, than Jo- annes. (Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. iii. p. 653 ; Ger- bert, I. c.) 47. Curopalata. [Scylitzes.] 48. Cyparissiota (KuTrapjo-o-wTrjs), surnamed Sapiens or the Wise, an ecclesiastical writer, who lived in the latter half of the fourteenth century, not in the middle of the twelfth, as erroneously sttited by Labbe in his Chronologia Brevis Ecclesiasticoruin Scriptorum. From indications in his own works they were, some of them at least, written after the year 1359. Cyparissiota was an opponent of Gregory Palamas [Palamas] and his followers (the believers in the light of Mount Thabor), and his principal publications had reference to that controversy. They compose a series of five treatises ; but only the first and fourth books of the first treatise of the series, Palamiiicarum Trans- gressionum Libri IV, have been published. They appeared, with a Latin version, in the Audarium Novissimum of Comb^fis (Pars ii. pp. 68 — 105), and the Latin version was given in the Bibliotheca Pairum (vol. xxi. p. 476, &c., ed. Lyon. 1677). Cyparissiota wrote also^E/cfleo-is aroix^m^risp'naiwv hioXoyiKoov, Eotpositio Materiarum eorum quae de Deo a Tlieologis dicuntur. The work is divided into a hundred chapters, which are arranged in ten Decades or portions of ten chapters each, from which arrangement the work is sometimes referred to by the simple title of Decades. A Latin version of it by Franciscus Turrianus was published at Home in 4to, 1581 ; and was reprinted in the Bibluxheca Pairum (vol. xxi. 377, &c). (Comb6fis, Auctar.

The designation Joannes Diaconus is common to several mediaeval writers ; as Joannes Galenus or Pediasmus, Joannes Hypatus, Joannes deacon of Rome (who comes not within our limits as to time), and Joanne Diaconus, a contemporary and correspondent o George of Trebizond.

Drungarius, or Drungarias, or of Drun GARiA (Montfaucon gives the name *lu3dvvi)s ttjs Apovyyapias, and expressly observes that it is so in the MS.), a contemporary of Cyril of Alexandria' [Cyrillus], and probably one of his clergy. At] the instigation of Cyril he undertook a com-/ mentary on Isaiah, which is extant in MS. The UpoXoyos, Praefatio, is given by Montfaucon in his Aova Collcctio Patrum, vol. ii. p. 350, and by Fabricius, Bibl. Graec. vol. viii. p. 663. Fabricius, in giving the author's name, omits the article before Apovyyapias. (Montfaucon, Fabricius, II. cc.) i 54. Of Egypt. [See Nos. 3, 5, 16.] 5b. Eleemosynarius the Almoner, patriarch of Alexandria early in the seventh century. He was appointed to the patriarchate in A. D. 606, or, according to some of our authorities, in A. d. 609 ; and was dead in or before A. D. 616. Gardiner, bishop of Winchester, ascribed to Joannes Eleemo- synarius the celebrated Epistola ad Caesarium, which is by most Protestant critics, and by some Roman Catholics, ascribed to Chrysostom ; and which is appealed to as containing a clear declaration against the doctrine of tran substantiation. The eminence of Joannes is evidenced by the fact that three biographical accounts of him were written ; one, not nowextant, by Joannes Moschus [Moschus] and Sophronius ; and a second by Leontius, bishop of Neapolis in Cypnis, of which a Latin version, made in the ninth century b}-^ Anastasius Bibliothecarius, has been repeatedly printed. It is given, with a Commentarius Praevius, in the Acta Sanctorum of the BoUandists (Januar. 23. vol. ii. p. 495). The third life is either by Symeon Metaphrastes, or by some older Greek writer: a Latin version of it, by Gentianus Hervetus, was published by Aloysius Lipponiani (De Vitis Sanctorum, a. d. 12 Novemb.), by Surius {De Probatis Sanctorum Vitis, a. d. 23 Januar.), and in the Acta Sanctorum of the Bol- landists (ut supra).
