Description
Summary:The long version of the Index apostolorum discipulorumque Domini, attributed to a mysterious Bishop Dorotheus of Tyre (cf. BHG 151-152h), includes a narrative that retraces the beginnings of the See of Constantinople. It presents Bishop Metrophanes, a contemporary of the Emperor Constantine, as the distant successor of the Lord's disciple Stachys, himself supposedly installed as Bishop of Byzantium by the Apostle Andrew. This text, which aims to establish the apostolicity of the Church of Constantinople, seems to have been composed between 525 and 551. The biographical details it provides about Dorotheus of Tyre, martyred by the Emperor Julian's henchmen, were taken up by Theophanes in his Chronicle and inspired a Passion (BHG 2114), here published and translated for the first time. The Index of Pseudo-Dorotheus was also used for several entries in some relatively late families of the Constantinople Synaxarion.
