  • English Wikipedia, viewed June 14, 2024(Pseudo-Macarius; Pseudo-Makarios; conventional designation for the anonymous author or authors of works falsely attributed to Macarius of Egypt; it is evident from statements in the works that the author was from Upper Mesopotamia, where the Roman Empire bordered the Persian Empire; it is clear from the manuscript tradition that these works were written before the year 534)
