Of the famous byshops which were present at the Synode helde at Antioch.
AMonge these as chiefe florished Firmilianus byshop of Caesarea in Cappadocia: Gregorius* 1.2 and Athenodorus who were bretherne and byshops of the Churches in Pontus. besides these Elenus byshop of Tarsus and Nieomas byshop of Iconium. Moreouer Hymenaus by∣shop of Ierusalem, Theotecnus byshop of C••sarea in Palaestina, and Maximus byshop of Bostra. I might haue repeated an infinite mo, both ministers and deacons who mett for the same cause at Antioch, but these aforenamed were the most famous amonge them▪ When all came together at seuerall times and sundry sessions they did argue and reason hereof. Samosatenus together with his complices endeuored to couer and conceale the variablenes of his opiniō: but the rest practi∣sed with all might possible, ••o saye bare and ••ett wyde open his blasphemy against Christ. In the meane while Dionysius byshop of Alexandria departed this life, the twelfe yeare of Galienus his raygne, after he had gouerned the Churche of Alexandria seuenteene yeares, and him suc∣ceeded Maximus.
