Amphilochius of Iconium

Bishop of Iconium from about 373. Basil addressed to him the treatise On the Holy Spirit and three canonical letters. He took part in the Council of Constantinople (381) and in synods against the Pneumatomachi. His surviving works are homilies, a poem in iambic verse for Seleucus on the books of Scripture, and fragments; many pieces under his name are spurious.
