Archelaus (bishop of Carrhae)
Archelaus (Template:Lang-grc) was the bishop of Carrhae.
In 278 AD, he held a public dispute with the heretic Manes -- followers of Mani -- an account of which he published in Syriac. The work was soon translated both into Greek and into Latin.[1][2]
A large fragment of the Latin version was published by Henri Valois in his edition of Socrates and Sozomen. The same version, almost entire, was again printed, with the fragments of the Greek version, by Zaccaignius in his Collcet. Monument. Vet., Rom. 1698, and by German classical scholar Johann Albert Fabricius in his edition of Hippolytus of Rome.
