Hegemonius

Hegemonius is the name later attached to the author of the Acts of Archelaus, an account of a debate between the bishop Archelaus and the Persian teacher Mani. The work survives complete in Latin and in Greek fragments quoted by Epiphanius. It was written in Greek, probably in the early 4th century.

Notes

The name Hegemonius is given to the author of the Acts of Archelaus by Heraclian of Chalcedon (quoted by Photius) and not in the work itself. Nothing else is known of him; the name may be a pseudonym.
