Body
Bp. of Salamis (Cyprus) and Greek author.
萨拉米斯 (Salamis)（塞浦路斯 (Cyprus)）主教 (bp.) 及希腊 (Greek) 作者。
Bp. of Salamis (Cyprus) and Greek author. His work ‘On Weights and Measures’ (in the Bible), which only partly survives in Greek (* CPG * 3746), is preserved complete in Syriac translation. Of his large work against heresies, the ‘Panarion’ (* CPG * 3745), only the ‘Anakephalaiosis’ (* CPG * 3765) is known in Syriac. Syriac also preserves excerpts of a Letter to the Egyptian clergy (* CPG * 3757), the Greek original of which is lost. Among works falsely attributed to Epiphanius are the ‘Physiologus’ (* CPG * 3766) and the influential Lives of the Prophets (* CPG * 3777), of which a number of different Syriac forms are known.
萨拉米斯 (Salamis)（塞浦路斯 (Cyprus)）主教 (Bp.) 兼希腊作家。其著作《论度量衡》(On Weights and Measures)（论圣经中的度量衡），希腊文原件仅部分存世 (* CPG * 3746)，但完整保存于叙利亚文译本中。在其反对异端的大型著作《药箱》(Panarion) (* CPG * 3745) 中，仅有《概要》(Anakephalaiosis) (* CPG * 3765) 已知有叙利亚文版本。叙利亚文还保存了《致埃及神职人员书》(Letter to the Egyptian clergy) (* CPG * 3757) 的摘录，其希腊文原件已佚。伪托埃皮法尼乌斯 (Epiphanius) 名下的著作包括《生理学》(Physiologus) (* CPG * 3766) 及颇具影响力的《先知传》(Lives of the Prophets) (* CPG * 3777)，已知后者有多种不同的叙利亚文形式。
The Greek Life of Epiphanius (ed. C. Rapp, forthcoming) was translated into Syriac and comes down in two forms (this Life is the source of the notice in the Chronicle of Siirt , 56).
《爱比法尼乌斯希腊文传》(Greek Life of Epiphanius) (ed. C. Rapp, forthcoming) 已被译为叙利亚语 (Syriac)，并以两种形式流传下来（此传是《西尔特编年史》(Chronicle of Siirt) 第 56 条记载的来源）。
