Phoebadius of Agen

Attested. His leadership of the first refusal is secure. The later signature, if any, is not a simple fact.

Phoebadius, bishop of Agen in Gaul, led the early western refusal of Constantius's Homoian formula at Ariminum in 359. He also wrote against the Arians. The western majority later signed under pressure. Whether Phoebadius himself eventually accepted a qualified text is disputed. He is the named Nicene voice, not a stand-in for all 400.
