Who he was
A Cappadocian Father and friend of Basil who led the small Nicene community in Constantinople and briefly presided over the Council of 381 before resigning. His Theological Orations earned him the Eastern title "the Theologian", and his letter to Cledonius contains the formula "what has not been assumed has not been healed".
