Adler number: iota,12
Translated headword: Iacobos, Jacob
Vetting Status: high
Translation: Son of
Hesychius the physician; the man surnamed Psychristus ["Chilly"], from the exarchy of Damascus. His father went to
Rhodes, then to
Drepanon, the one in Argos [
Myth,
Place];[1] and when he came there he married the woman who bore Jacob to him. Then he left his wife and the child and spent 19 years abroad in Alexandria and Italy and seemed to be no longer living. Therefore Jacob's mother married a second husband. When she had two [male] children and a daughter, the man who married her passed away. But
Hesychius went up to Constantinople; and when Jacob learned this, he came to him. And then he began his education and served as a physician at Constantinople during the reign of the emperor Leo.[2]

[1] The qualifier is intended to distinguish this
Drepanon from several others throughout the Mediterranean. But "Argos [
Myth,
Place]" seems to be an error; Cape
Drepanon (present-day Drepano) was in Achaia, at the northernmost point of the Peloponnese.
[2] Leo I, ruled 457-74 AD: see
