Person

Aetius

died about 367

Anomoean teacher and deacon

Attested. The teaching and the 360 condemnation are well reported. His own book, the Syntagmation, survives only in a short, later-transmitted form.

Aetius taught that the Son is anomoios, unlike the Father in essence. He was a deacon, not a bishop at Nicaea and not a voter at Seleucia. Both Nicenes and Homoiousians rejected him. The Homoian council of 360 condemned him even while imposing its own non-Nicene creed. Eunomius was his disciple. Aetius died about 367.
