Auxentius of Mopsuestiaとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Auxentius of Mopsuestia (died 360) was bishop of Mopsuestia, and is a saint in the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches. His feast day is December 18. Baronius places Auxentius in the Roman martyrology, because of the story told by Philostorgius (in Suidas) that he was at one time an officer in the army of Licinius, and gave up his commission rather than obey the imperial command to lay a bunch of grapes at the feet of a statue of Bacchus. Tillemont is inclined to believe that Auxentius was an Arian; his patronage of the heretic Aetius, points to this conclusion.
