a famous heresiarch of the 4th century, the disciple of Elius, but abundantly more subtil than his master, as well as more bold in propagating the opinions of his sect, who after him are called Eunomians. He was ordained bishop of Cyzicus; but gave so much disturbance by the intemperance of his zeal, that he was deposed more than once: and, tired at length with being tossed about, he petitioned to retreat to the place of his birth, Dacora in Cappadocia; where he died very old about the year 394, after experiencing a variety of sufferings. The greatest part of his works are lost. There is, however, besides two or three small pieces, a confession of his faith remaining, which Cave inserted in his Historia Literaria, from a manuscript in archbishop Tennison's library. See the preceding article.
