Basil of Cilicia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Basil or Basilius (Ancient Greek: Βασιλείος) or Βασίλιος) of Cilicia was the author of a history of the Church in three books, called Ecclesiastical History, of which Photios I of Constantinople gives a short account.[1] Photius considered him a Nestorian.[2][3]
Basil also wrote a work against John of Scythopolis,[4] and one against Archelaus, bishop of Carrhae.[5] He lived under the emperor Anastasius I Dicorus, was presbyter at Antioch about 497 CE, and afterwards bishop of Irenopolis.
