Greek Church Father. One of the three Cappadocian Fathers, and the brother of Basil and Macrina. He was appointed bp. of Nyssa ca. 371. A considerable number of his works were translated into Syriac in the 5th/6th cent., and many of these survive complete, though very few have yet been published (details are given in Parmentier 1989). The extant complete (or nearly so) translations are: ‘to Eustathius on the Trinity’ (* CPG * 3137), ‘to Ablabius’ (* CPG * 3139), ‘to Theophilus’ (* CPG * 3143), ‘to Letoius’ (* CPG * 3148), ‘Great Catechetical Oration’ (* CPG * 3150), ‘on the Creation of Man’ (* CPG * 3154), ‘Homilies on the Song of Songs’ (* CPG * 3158), ‘on the Lord’s Prayer’ (* CPG * 3160), ‘on the Beatitudes’ (* CPG * 3161), ‘on Virginity’ (* CPG * 3165), ‘Funeral oration on Meletius’ (* CPG * 3180), ‘Life of Gregory Thaumaturgus ’ (* CPG * 3184), ‘Encomium on Stephen’ (* CPG * 3186), ‘Homily on the Nativity’ (* CPG * 3194), ‘Letter to his brother Peter’ (* CPG * 3196; for editions of this see under Basil, Letter 38).

A Syriac homily on Poverty is attributed to Gregory, but this has been shown (Parmentier 1993) to be an abbreviation of Philoxenos , Discourse 9.
一篇关于贫穷的叙利亚语讲道文被归于格里高利 (Gregory) 名下，但已被证明 (Parmentier 1993) 是菲洛克塞诺斯 (Philoxenos)《第九篇论述》(Discourse 9) 的缩略本。
His commemoration is given as either 10 Jan. or 15 Nov.
其纪念日记载为 1 月 10 日或 11 月 15 日。
