Hesychius (3)
Hesychius
an Egyptian bishop of the 3rd century, who is mentioned by Eusebius (Hist. Eccles. 8, 13) as a reviser of the text of the Septuagint (see also Jerome, De vir. illust. 77). He also published an edition of the New Testament, of which Jerome does not appear to have formed a favorable opinion. He obtained the crown of martyrdom in the Dioclesian persecution about A.D. 311. Nothing of his works is now extant. See Clarke, Succ. of Sac. Literature, s.v.; Lardner, Works, 3, 206; Hody, De Bibl. textibus originalibus (Oxf. 1705).

Hesychius (2)
the grammarian OF ALEXANDRIA, is of uncertain date, but probably lived about the end of the 4th century. He compiled a Greek Lexicon, which has been of inestimable service to philology and literature. The best edition is that of Alberti and Ruhnken (Leyden, 1746-66, 2 vols.), with additions by Schow (Leipsic, 1792, 8vo); newly edited by Schmidt (Jena, 1857-64, 4 vols. 4to). See Ranke, De Lexici Hesychiani vera origine et genuinaformna Commentatio (Leipzig and Quedlinburg, 1831, 8vo).
