Pseudo-Macarius is a modern scholarly designation for the author or authors of the various Macaraian collections of letters, homilies, and logoi, ie. those authors of the fourth or fifth century who may have written under the name Macarius or whose writings were later attributed to Macarius. In the Syraic recensions of the texts, these ascriptions are made to Macarius of Egypt, Macarius of Alexandria, or simply Macarius. In the Arabic tradition and at least one Greek manuscript, this author is also refered to as Symeon the Ascetic or Simeon the Stylite.
