713A homily for Holy Thursday: Christ foretold his betrayal to steady the disciples, washed the feet even of Judas and overcame Peter’s refusal, sent Peter and John (marriage and virginity) to prepare the Passover, and the faithful are warned not to break the fast after receiving the mysteries.
disputed · Printed by Migne among the spuria of Chrysostom (PG 59); the Clavis Patrum Graecorum (Supplementum 1998) lists it as Severian of Gabala's (CPG 4205).
Standing
Not honoured as a saint or in a church calendar by the Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant traditions. Not commemorated as a saint by any of the three traditions; a bishop in communion with the church of his time, so not outside it despite his quarrel with Chrysostom.
Date
