Eustathius

Loading


EUSTATHIUS, of Antioch, sometimes styled "the Great" (ft. 325), was a native of Side in Pamphylia. He was bishop of Beroea (c. 32o), and patriarch of Antioch before the Council of Nicaea (325). In that assembly he ably opposed the Arians, though the Allocutio ad Imperatorem with which he has been credited is hardly genuine. His anti-Arian polemic against Euse bius of Caesarea made him unpopular among his fellow-bishops in the East, and a synod convened at Antioch in 33o passed a sen tence of deposition, which was confirmed by the emperor. He was banished to Trajanopolis in Thrace, where he died, probably c. 337, though possibly n,t till 360.

Eustathius's works are in Migne's
