The Gaza Triad refers collectively to Aeneas of Gaza, Procopius of Gaza and Zacharias Scholasticus. The three were sixth century Christian theologians from Gaza. Aeneas (died c. 518) was a Christian neo-platonist who defended the Christian doctrine of the resurrection against pagan attacks. Procopius (465-528) wrote biblical commentaries in catena form. Zacharius (died c. 540) was a philosopher and early church historian.
