Arabianus

Arabianus (Ancient Greek: Ἀραβιανὸς, romanized: Arabianos) was an eminent Christian writer who lived around 196. He composed some books on Christian doctrine, which are lost.[1][2] Nothing more is known of him, and the writers who mention him, like Eusebius, do not even tell us the title of the work Arabianus wrote.[3] Jerome says that he wrote "certain small works relating to Christian doctrine."[4]
