<p> (surnamed Monophthalmus, from his having but one eye), was the disciple of [[Eusebius]] of Caesarea, in Palestine, whom he succeeded in the see of [[Caesarea]] in 340. He was one of the chiefs of the Arian party, and a man of ability and learning, but unsettled in his theological opinions. He was deposed as an Arian by the [[Synods]] of [[Antioch]] (A.D. 341) and [[Seleucia]] (359). Subsequently he subscribed the Nicene creed, and therefore fell out with the Anomaeans, with whom he had before acted. He died A.D. 363. St. [[Jerome]] (de Scrip. cap. 98) says that he wrote seventeen books of commentaries upon [[Holy]] Scripture, six on various subjects, and very many treatises, among them his book Adversus Marcellum, a considerable fragment of which is contained in Epiphanius, Haeres. 72. [[Socrates]] (lib. 2, cap. 4) says that he also wrote a life of his predecessor, Eusebius. '''''—''''' Cave, Hist. Lit. anno. 340; Lardner, Works, 3, 583. </p> | |||
