3. Of ALEXANDRIA. The writer of a life of Chrysostom.

Photius gives an account of the work, but says he could state nothing certain respecting the author.

He is styled Bishop of Alexandria, and it is the opinion of those who have examined into the matter that he lived after the commencement of the seventh century. A George was Catholic bishop or patriarch of Alexandria from A. D. 616 to 630, and as no other patriarch appears under that name between A. D. 600 and the time of Photius, he was probably the writer.
