Person
Theognis of Nicaea
bishop in 325
Bishop of Nicaea
Attested. The exile with Eusebius and the Tyre commission are in the ancient narratives. What he signed at Nicaea is uncertain, and is marked that way on the council page.
Theognis, bishop of the council's own city, supported Arius's side. He was exiled with Eusebius of Nicomedia a few months after Nicaea and later recalled. Athanasius names him on the commission sent into Egypt before the council of Tyre. Little of his own writing survives. A death year is not secure enough to state.
