Daniel (3)

Daniel (sometimes Danihel) was the name of a number of early bishops and presbyters:

1. Presbyter, said to have been martyred in Persia, February 21, in the thirty-fifth year of Sapor (A.D. 344), with a virgin, whose name in Chaldee meant Rose, after five days' torture and three months' interrogation, according to brief acts given from a Vatican MS. by Assemani (Mart. Orient. page 103.)

2. One of the abbots of Scete in Egypt, in the 4th or 5th century. He was a disciple of Paphnutius, and served him in the capacity of deacon at the altar. He is the speaker in the fourth of the Collationes of Johannes Cassianus, who had met him during a tour in Egypt.
