Cathirius is the name of several early Christians:
1. Bishop of the Cimmerian Bosporus, present at the Council of Nice (Tillemont, 6:643; Labbe, Concil. 2, 54).
2. Bishop of Arpona, at the heretical Council of Sardica, A.D. 347 (Labbe, Concil. 2, 711).
3. Bishop at the Council of Saragossa A.D. 381. In this and the previous case the name is spelled Catherius; the last name with a variation, Cartherius. 1 In Gams's Series Lipiscoporum the name of the bishop of Arpona is given as Carterius.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry.
