Person
Meletius of Antioch
died 381
Bishop of Antioch
Attested. His presidency and his death during the council are standard.
Meletius was the eastern Nicene bishop of Antioch in a city that had more than one claimant. He presided at the opening of Constantinople in 381 and died while the council was sitting. Gregory of Nazianzus succeeded him in the chair and soon resigned. He is not Meletius of Lycopolis, the Egyptian schismatic of Nicaea's generation.
