Socin Darius, (Socinus ; Ital. Sozini or Sozzini,) was one of those, who escaped the vigilance of the inquisitors, when the society at Vicence was broken up, in 1546. He resided for some years in different parts of Switzerland; but not finding himself sufficiently safe there, he removed into Poland, and finally into Moravia. Bock supposes him to have been a relation, but not a brother, of Lelio Socin. Illgen assents to this opinion ; and says, that Lelio, in his unedited Epistles, preserved in the library at Zurich, often makes mention of Darius, but adds nothing, from which it can be inferred, that he was his brother. His name is mentioned in the Synodical Acts of Coire.
