Athanasius, Bishop of Anazarbo

ATANASIO VESCOVO DI ANAZARBO

Italian original Cite

ATHANASIUS, Bishop of Anazarbo. - A disciple of Lucian of Antioch mentioned by Arius, in his letters to Eusebius of Nicomedia, among the bishops who accepted his doctrine (Theodoret, Hist. eccl., I, 4). He was bishop of Anazarbus (in Cilicia Secunda). St. Athanasius accused him of having written before the Council of Nicaea blasphemies similar to those of Arius, of which he has preserved a sample for us (De Synodis, 27: PG 26, 712). He took part in the Council of Nicaea of 325, and, it seems, he would have submitted, at least apparently (cf. Nicetas Choniates, in Thesaurus Orthodoxae fidei, V, 7: PL 139, 1368).
