Amphilochius of Iconium (340 ? - 404 ?)
A close friend of the three Cappadocians and cousin of Gregory of Nazianzus. A pupil of Libanios in Antioch, then a lawyer in Constantinople, he soon withdrew to Cappadocia to lead a hermit's life, but Basil had him appointed bishop of Iconium, where he governed his diocese very well (c. 373-374). With no particular interest in Christological speculation, he devoted his energies to fighting heresies: at the Council of Contantinople (381) and in local synods against the Macedonians (Iconium, 376) and the Messalians (Side, 383). Numerous apocryphal texts were published under his name, proving his literary reputation.
All that remains of him are a Epistola Synodica (on the Holy Spirit), a treatise against various heretics (Coptic version), a Iambics to Seleucus, in ïambic verse, a text of interest for the history of the biblical canon, and Homélies (SC 552-553), some of which are of doubtful authenticity, but interesting from the exegetical and doctrinal point of view; of the other writings, only titles or quotations.
