Symeon

6. Metropolitan of EUCHAITA in Pontus, a writer whose date is not exactly ascertained, but who probably lived towards the end of the ninth century. There are extant in MS. two of his letters, Epistolae duae ad Joannem Monachum, from which Allatius has given two or three very brief citations. (Allatius, De Symeon. Scriptis, p. 179; Fabric. Bibl. Graec. vol. xi. pp. 296, 712; Cave, Hist. Litt. vol. ii. Dissert. prima, p. 18. folio, Oxford, 1740-43; Le Quien, Oriens Christianus, vol. i. col. 545.)
