A single letter of Firmilian to Cyprian survives among Cyprian's correspondence.

Dionysius counts Firmilian as one of " the more eminent bishops " in a letter to Pope Stephen I ( Eusebius, VII, v, 1 ), where his expression " Firmilian and all Cappadocia " implies that Caesarea was already a metropolitan see.

In a letter to Pope Sixtus II ( 257 – 58 ), Dionysius mentions that in the controversy over rebaptism of the lapsed Pope Stephen had refused communication with Helenus of Tarsus, Firmilian, and all Cilicia and Cappadocia, and the neighbouring lands ( Eusebius, VII, v, 3-4 ), a subject touched on in the sole surviving letter of Firmilian, a response to Cyprian.

At the end of the summer of 256, he sent the deacon Rogatian to Firmilian with a letter, together with the documents on the subject — letters of the pope, of his own, and of his council at Carthage in the spring, and the treatise De Ecclesia Catholica Unitate.

As a poet Dobell belongs to the Spasmodic school of poetry, as it was named by Professor Aytoun, who parodied its style in Firmilian: A Spasmodic Tragedy.

Aytoun's parodic Firmilian: A Spasmodic Tragedy ( 1854 ) is credited with getting the verse of the Spasmodic school laughed down as bombast.

Smith, P. J. Bailey and Sydney Dobell were satirized by W. E. Aytoun in 1854 in Firmilian: a Spasmodic Tragedy.

Saint Firmilian ( died c. 269 ), Bishop of Caesarea Mazaca from ca.

Jerome omits Firmilian from De viris illustribus.

Gregory of Nyssa tells that Gregory Thaumaturgus, when still a pagan, having completed his secular studies, " fell in with Firmilian, a Cappadocian of noble family, similar to himself in character and talent, as he showed in his subsequent life when he adorned the Church of Caesarea.

Firmilian says: " We have received your writings as our own, and have committed them to memory by repeated reading " ( c. iv ).

" Firmilian is fond of dilemmas: for instance, either the heretics do not give the Holy Ghost, in which case rebaptism is necessary, or else they do give it, in which case Stephen should not forbid the laying on of hands.

He had appealed to tradition from St. Peter and St. Paul: this is an insult to the Apostles, cries Firmilian, for they execrated heretics.

Firmilian reassures Cyprian's church at Carthage that with them the custom of rebaptizing may be new, but in Cappadocia it has been the custom from the very beginning ( c. xix ), and he can answer Stephen by opposing tradition to tradition, and that some time since, he had joined in a council at Iconium with the bishops of Galatia and Cilicia and other provinces, and had decided to rebaptize the Montanists ( c. vii and xix ); for these acts Stephen excommunicated the Eastern churches.

The use of plain-text rather than bit-streams to express markup, enables files to survive much better " in the wild ", in part by making them largely immune to computer architecture incompatibilities.

Reduced instruction set computing, or RISC (), is a CPU design strategy based on the insight that simplified ( as opposed to complex ) instructions can provide higher performance if this simplicity enables much faster execution of each instruction.

Interfacing directly with his brain, the device enables him to " see " much of the electromagnetic spectrum – radio waves, infrared, ultraviolet, but not normal light perception, though it does allow Geordi to see the visible light section of the EM spectrum.

There is no direct access to the alternate registers ; instead, two special instructions, < code > EX AF, AF '</ tt > and < code > EXX </ tt >, each toggles one of two multiplexer flip-flops ; this enables fast context switches for interrupt service routines: < code > EX AF, AF '</ tt > may be used alone ( for really simple and fast interrupt routines ) or together with < code > EXX </ tt > to swap the whole AF, BC, DE, HL set ; still much faster than pushing the same registers on the stack ( slower, lower priority, or multi level interrupts normally use the stack to store registers ).

Considering this in the frequency domain, if a mode has optical frequency ν, and is amplitude-modulated at a frequency nf, the resulting signal has sidebands at optical frequencies and and enables much stronger mode-locking for shorter pulses and more stability than active mode-locking, but has startup problems.
