Japanese: アレタス(英語表記)Arethas
Aretas (English spelling)
Byzantine clergyman and classical scholar from c. 860 to after 932. Born in Patrai, Greece, he became archbishop of Caesarea, Cappadocia, in c. 907. He was one of the disciples of Photius, archbishop of Constantinople and a central figure in the 9th-century Byzantine revival of ancient Greek literature. Aretas was an avid collector of manuscripts by ancient writers and attempted to annotate their works, both pagan and Christian. He also commissioned masters to copy ancient manuscripts, including the oldest surviving Byzantine minuscule manuscripts, including Euclid's mathematical works, Christian apologetics by Clement of Alexandria and Eusebius, Aristides' oratory works, and Plato's dialogues.
