http://syriaca.org/person/601
The identity of the author of the Macarian Homelies has long been a source of debate. The author likely lived in the fourth century and wrote in Greek. Historically, this author was often conflated with either Macarius of Alexandria or Macarius the Great of Egypt. In modern scholarship, this author is sometimes refered to as Pseudo-Macarius or Macarius-Symeon (based on an Arabic manuscript tradition).1, 2
