Malchion, Ante-Nicene Fathers Vol. VI — Translator's Biographical Notice (1885)
“ Eusebius [1] speaks of Malchion as a man accomplished in other branches of learning [2] and well-versed in Greek letters in particular, and as holding the presidency of the Sophists’ school at Antioch. Jerome [3] says that he taught rhetoric most successfully in the same city. Nor was it only that he excelled in secular erudition; but for the earnest sincerity of his Christian faith he obtained the dignity of presbyter in the church of that place, as Eusebius also tells us. ”
