| Summary: | Step`anos, bishop of the large province of Siwnik` in north-eastern Armenia, was one of the most noted scholars of his time. His exact date of birth is unknown, but details of his career are given by several later historians—though not without legendary accretions. He was a pupil of Solomon, the learned abbot of Makenoc` south-west of Lake Sevan. His teaching career began at the episcopal monastery of Siwnik`, which had already gained fame as a centre for the study of biblical exegesis. Between 712 and 718 he was in Constantinople, where, in association with David, consul and kinarios, he translated the Pseudo-Dionysian corpus as well as Gregory of Nyssa's De opificio hominis and Nemesius of Emesa's De natura hominis. |
