the Areopagite, a convert of St. Paul, Acts xvii, 34.
Chrysostom declares Dionysius to have been a citizen of Athens; which is
credible, because the judges of the Areopagus generally were so. After
his conversion, Dionysius was made the first bishop of Athens; having
laboured, and suffered much in the Gospel, he is said to have been burnt
at Athens, A. D. 95. The works attributed to Dionysius are generally
reputed spurious.
