A [[Greek]] sophist and rhetorician, usually assigned to the reign of Gallienus, A.D. 259-268. Clinton (Fasti Rom. ann. 266) points out that the sophist is also assigned to a later date and thinks that [[Suidas]] may have confounded two Callinici. Among the Works ascribed to him by Suidas (p. 1961 B) are ten books on [[Alexandrian]] history, referred to by [[Jerome]] (Prorm. Com. in Daniel). </p> <p> 3.

Melitian bishop of Pelusium, who slandered [[Athanasius]] in 331, accused him at Tyre, in 335, of breaking a chalice, and of deposing and ill- treating himself.

[[Bishop]] elect of Sangra, sent by [[Eusebius]] of Ancyvra, who was himself unwilling to, ordain him, to Proclus, patriarch of Constantinople, for ordination (A.D. 434-446).

Bishop of Apamea, in Bithynia, named the patriarch of Antioch, as well as those of Rome and Constantinople, as leading him to condemn [[Dioscorus]] at the Council of [[Chalcedon]] (A.D. 451).. </p> <p> 7. [[Patriarch]] of Constantinople, A.D. 693 (or 692) till 705, was previously presbyter and treasurer of the [[Church]] of Blachernze. Soon after his appointment he offended the emperor [[Justinian]] by refusing to compose a prayer to be said at the removal of a church. It soon came to his ears that orders had been given to Stephen, the governor of Constantinople, for a general massacre of its inhabitants, to begin with the patriarch. This intelligence, doubtless, dispose, him to receive [[Leontius]] as a deliverer; and he accompanied that usurper to the font on his entry into the city, publicly welcoming him with the cry, "This is the. day which the Lord hath made." On the return of Jutstinian, in 705, [[Callinicus]] was deprived of his eyes and banished to Rome. See Theophilus, Chron. p. 313; Niceph. Constant. Brevitrlium, p. 28. </p>
