- URA'NIUS (Οὐράνιος), a Greek writer of uncertain date, wrote a work on Arabia in three books at the least, which is frequently referred to by Stephanus of Byzantium and occasionally quoted by other writers. (Steph. Byz. s. vv. Αυαθα, Αἰαμήνη, Αδανα, et alibi; Tzetzes, Chil.. vii. 144 ; Eustath, in Dionys. Perieg. 38.) (Wikisource | public domain)
- URA'NIUS, a Gaul by birth, a presbyter of the church at Nola, is known to us as the author of a biography of his friend Paulinus Nolanus, at whose death he was present. His work, entitled De Vita et Obitu Paulini Nolani, was first published by Surius in his Vitae Sanctorum (fol. Colon. Agripp. 1572) under the 22nd of June. It was subsequently edited from a better MS. by Chifflet in his Patdinus illustratus (4to. Div. 1662), but the text appears in its best form in the edition of Paulinus by Le Bran, 4to. Paris, 1685. (Schoenemann, Biblioth. Patrum Lat. vol. ii. § 33.) (Wikisource | public domain)
- URA'NIUS (Οὐράνιος), a Syrian physician at Constantinople about the middle of the sixth century after Christ. He pretended to be a very subtle and acute philosopher, and went to Persia, where he obtained great favour and influence with Chosroës; but Agathias, from whom we learn these particulars, gives him a very indifferent character, and compares him to Thersites, for his love of wrangling.
