| Summary: | In 486, probably in the Spring, there occurred in Alexandria, according to Zacharias, the church historian, a three-day riot involving a student, Paralius, and consequently the student body more generally along with their teachers; it drew in the monks of the Enaton and the Bishop, Peter Mongus, and ended in the vandalizing of the shrine of the old religion at Menouthis. The incident is milked for all, and rather more than all, it is worth, to yield a commendable if repetitive account of campus life, student Christian activism, and episcopal oversight in Alexandria. |
