| Incipit: | Βραδέως ἐδήλωσας περί τῆς νῦν διαλέξεως |
| Date: | 354/359? |
| Text: | PG 25, 480-521 |
| English Translation: | Archibald Robertson, trans., “Defense of Dionysius, bishop of Alexandria (de Sententia Dionysii)” in NPNF2, vol. 4 (Grand Rapids, 1980), pp. 176-187. |
| Notes: | At the time this tractate was written, the Arians claimed that earlier Church Fathers had held Arius’ heresies; one such supporter they claimed was Dionysius the Great (Bishop of Alexandria, 233-265). Athanasius wrote this tractate to insist that Dionysius’ teachings were in concordance with the Nicaeans and not the Arians (Robertson, NPNF2, vol. 4, 173). |
