The second doubt is this:—Is the work which Photius read the same that has now been rescued?
Almost the first act of Photius was to recognize the primacy of the holy see.
Photius was a very learned Greek patriarch of the ninth century.
The most important monument of Byzantine philology is, perhaps, the Library of the patriarch Photius.
Drama too had a definite influence on Longus, indeed the word δρᾶμα or δραματικόν is applied to these romances by Photius.
