Gospel of Scythianus A noncanonical, lost gospel known only from its mention in the fourth century by Cyril of Jerusalem (Catechetical Lectures 6.22) and Epiphanius in his treatise against heresies (Panarion 66.2). According to Cyril, this work was written by an Alexandrian named Scythianus. While it had the name of “gospel,” it did not refer to Christ, and Cyril wrote that Scythianus was a heretic who had “nothing in common either with Judaism or with Christianity.” The Gospel of Scythianus was never widely authoritative in the early church period.
