Difference between revisions of "Bishop Of Anagastus Athanasius"

<p> <b> [[Athanasius]] (1) </b> , bp. of Anagastus in [[Cilicia]] Secunda and metropolitan, a disciple of St. [[Lucian]] of [[Antioch]] (Philost. <i> H. E. </i> iii. 15), reckoned by Arius, in his letter to [[Eusebius]] Nicom., among the bishops who coincided with him in doctrine (Theod. <i> H. E. </i> i. 5). The great Athanasius ( <i> de Synod. </i> p. 886) accuses him of having, previous to the council of Nicaea, written blasphemies equal to those of Arius, of which he gives a specimen. He is said by Le Quien, on the authority of the <i> Lib. Synod. Graec. </i> , to have supported [[Arius]] at the council of Nicaea. [[Philostorgius]] ( <i> H. E. </i> iii. 15) tells us that when [[Aetius]] was expelled from his master's house, after his unlucky victory in argument, Athanasius received him and read the [[Gospels]] with him. </p> <p> [E.V.] </p>
