Person

Valens of Mursa

active 330s–370s

Bishop of Mursa

Attested. His role beside Ursacius is standard. He is a bishop, not the emperor of the same name.

Valens of Mursa, in Pannonia, is the Illyrian partner of Ursacius. He accused Athanasius at Tyre and advocated the Homoian creed at Ariminum in 359. He is not the emperor Valens, who briefly exiled Athanasius in 365. The shared name is a trap in this story.
