Neon, Omeusian Bishop of Seleucia

NEONE, VESCOVO OMEUSIANO DI SELEUCIA

Italian original Cite

NEON, Omeusian Bishop of Seleucia. - He was already bishop in 359, since in that year he took part in the Council held in his episcopal city.

Having become aware of the machinations of the Acacians, he wrote together with other bishops a letter to the delegates of the Council of Rimini to warn them against the danger of the Anomoean doctrine imposed by Constantius II, but he was not heeded. At the Synod of Constantinople (360) he was deposed and exiled under the accusation of having permitted Annianus, bishop of Antioch, to be consecrated in his church, and of having himself consecrated as bishops certain decurions, ignorant of the Holy Scriptures and of the ecclesiastical laws, who had then preferred to return to their civil offices, so as not to be deprived of their property. The year of his death is unknown.
