(Νεμέσιος).
1. The author of a Greek treatise, Περὶ Φύσεως Ἀνθρώπου, De Natura Hominis, of whose date and personal history little is known. He is called bishop of Emesa, in Syria, in the MSS. of his work, and also by Anastasius Nicenus (Quaest. in S. Script. ap. Biblioth. Patrum, vol. vi. p. 157, ed. Paris, 1575), and was evidently a Christian and a man of piety. The time in which he lived cannot be determined with much exactness, as the only ancient writers by whom he is quoted or mentioned are probably Anastasius and Moses Bar-Cepha (De Parad. 1.20, p. 55, ed. Antw. 1569), which latter author calls him " Nu-mysius Philosophus Christianus." He himself mentions Apollinaris (p. 77, ed. Oxon.) and Eunomius (p. 73), and therefore may be supposed to have lived at the end of the fourth or beginning of the fifth century after Christ. He has sometimes been confounded with other persons of the same name; but, as these erroneous conjectures have already been corrected by other writers, they need not be noticed here particularly.
