undated

Rival bishops of Antioch (360s-410s) divided pro-Nicene Christians and strained relations with Rome and Alexandria.

Wikipedia extract

Extract is from the broader Wikipedia page "Meletius of Antioch", not about this record specifically

Meletius of Antioch was a Christian patriarch of Antioch from 360 until his death in 381. He was opposed by a rival bishop named Paulinus II of Antioch and his episcopate was dominated by the schism, usually called the Meletian schism. As a result, he was exiled from Antioch in 361–362, 365–366 and 371–378. One of his last acts was to preside over the First Council of Constantinople in 381.
