Epiphanius died after an episcopate of 14 years and 3 months.

Although the Assumption ( Latin: assūmptiō, " taken up ") was only relatively recently defined as infallible dogma by the Catholic Church, and in spite of a statement by Saint Epiphanius of Salamis in 377 that no one knew whether Mary had died or not, apocryphal accounts of the assumption of Mary into heaven have circulated since at least the 4th century.

* Epiphanius the Wise ( died 1420 ), monk and Eastern Orthodox saint

Epiphanius of Salamis ( died 403 ) accused the heretics whom he called " Purists " of " mixing up everyone's duty ":

He was the son of Epiphanius, governor of Cyprus, and was of noble descent ; in early life he was married and had children, but his wife and children soon died, and he entered the religious life.

Epiphanius the Wise () ( died 1420 ) was a monk from Rostov, hagiographer and disciple of Saint Sergius of Radonezh.

In his work Redating Matthew, Mark and Luke Wenham wrote regarding the book of Matthew the following: " The fathers are almost unanimous in asserting that Matthew the tax-collector was the author, writing first, for Hebrews in the Hebrew language: Papias ( c. 60-130 ), Irenaeus ( c. 130-200 ), Pantaenus ( died c. 190 ), Origen ( c. 185-254 ), Eusebius ( c. 260-340 ), Epiphanius of Salamis ( c. 315-403 ), Cyril of Jerusalem ( c. 315-86 ) and others write in this vein.

Epiphanius ( died 403 ) says that in his time Sabellians were still numerous in Mesopotamia and Rome-a fact confirmed by an inscription discovered at Rome in 1742, evidently erected by Sabellian Christians.

* June 5 – Epiphanius, patriarch of Constantinople

Tertullian, Irenaeus, Hippolytus of Rome, Epiphanius, and Jerome ascribed the movement to a heretic named Ebion or Hebion ( Tertullian The Prescription Against Heretics 33, On the Flesh of Christ 14. 18 .; Irenaeus Against Heretics 5. 1. 3 .; Hippolytus of Rome Refutation of All Heresies 7. 23.

-Heresy of Theodotus ; and Epiphanius Heresies 30 ) Others claim the name Ebionite means " poor one " and is derived from Matthew 5: 3, for they rejected material wealth.

Elsewhere ( 39. 5. 2 ) Epiphanius says that the Sethians consider Horaia to be the wife of Seth.

* Epiphanius of Constantinople, ( 520 – 535 ), Patriarch of Constantinople

( c. 4 ), who likewise follows Hippolytus's Compendium, adds some further particulars ; that ' Abraxas ' gave birth to Mind ( nous ), the first in the series of primary powers enumerated likewise by Irenaeus and Epiphanius ; that the world, as well as the 365 heavens, was created in honour of ' Abraxas ;' and that Christ was sent not by the Maker of the world but by ' Abraxas.

According to Epiphanius Scholasticus, he was born in Athens, but there is also a tradition of an Alexandrian birth.

Theodoret, who here copies Irenaeus, turns this into the plural number “ powers ,” and so Epiphanius represents Cerinthus as agreeing with Carpocrates in the doctrine that the world was made by angels.

Epiphanius states that Luke was one of the Seventy ( Panarion 51. 11 ), and John Chrysostom indicates at one point that the " brother " Paul mentions in 2 Corinthians 8: 18 is either Luke or Barnabas.

In later centuries it was ascribed to various celebrated Fathers, especially Epiphanius, Basil, and St. Peter of Alexandria.

Epiphanius of Salamis ( c. 315 – 403 ) writes that in his time a feast was held there on December 25 in honor of the virgin Khaabou ( Chaabou ) and her offspring Dushara ( Haer.

The town was rebuilt under the name of Constantia by Constantius II ( 337 – 361 CE ) and became an Episcopal seat, the most famous occupant of which was Saint Epiphanius.

At Constantinople the zeal of Justinian I for a church policy was shown during the patriarchate of Epiphanius by laws ( e. g. in 528 and 529 ) regulating episcopal elections and duties.

The first conspicuous office of Epiphanius was the charge of the catechumens at Constantinople.

In 531 the dispute between Rome and Constantinople was revived by the appeal of Stephen, metropolitan of Larissa, to Pope Boniface II, against the sentence of Epiphanius.

It was well known to Early Christians, as evidenced by the writings of Epiphanius, Justin Martyr, Origen, Diodorus of Tarsus, Isidore of Alexandria, Isidore of Seville, Eutychius of Alexandria, John Malalas, George Syncellus, and George Kedrenos.

Epiphanius (; " clearly manifested ") was the name of several early Christian scholars and ecclesiastics:

In 394, Epiphanius claimed that after beginnings as an ascetic, Marcion seduced a virgin and was accordingly excommunicated by his father, prompting him to leave his home town.

According to an old tradition, supported by evidence drawn from Epiphanius of Cyprus and John Chrysostom, this was due to a sermon preached before the emperor Constantius, in which he revealed Homousian views.

He was highly praised by Gregory Nazianzus and Epiphanius of Cyprus.

He even wrote to the emperor's secretary Aristolaus the tribune, who was greatly interested in the question of peace, almost complaining that he did not press Cyril enough on the point, and to his archdeacon Epiphanius.

Once Theodoric had killed Odoacar and was securely in control of Italy, he sent bishop Epiphanius of Pavia on a mission to ransom as many of these captives as possible.

Shanzer and Wood believe Epiphanius was possibly also entrusted with a mission in connection with the marriage of Gundobad's son Sigismund to Theodoric's daughter Ostrogotho.

Epiphanius of Salamis ( inter 310 – 320 – 403 ) was bishop of Salamis at the end of the 4th century.

Epiphanius was born into a Christian family in the small settlement of Besanduk, which is near Eleutheropolis, Palestine, and lived as a monk in Egypt, where he was educated and came into contact with Valentinian groups.

Epiphanius adopted the symbol of Nicaea, the decrees of Ephesus, Constantinople, and Chalcedon, and the letters of pope Leo I in defence of the faith.

" When Epiphanius was nearly 80, in 402, at the behest of Bishop Theophilus of Alexandria, the saint went to Constantinople to support Theophilus in his campaign against Saint John Chrysostom, and the four " Tall Brothers.

Epiphanius travelled extensively in the East, and is known to have visited Constantinople and the Mount Athos monastery complex.
