Person
Eleusius of Cyzicus
later fourth century
Bishop of Cyzicus
Attested. The withdrawal in 381 is reported by the church historians. A precise death year is not stated here.
Eleusius was a Homoiousian bishop who later led the Pneumatomachi, Christians who would not confess the Spirit as fully divine. At Constantinople in 381 a Macedonian group under him was invited to accept the council's faith. They refused and withdrew. That is the clearest in-person 'no' at the council. He is not Eunomius, who was a different bishop of Cyzicus and an Anomoean.
