Of the latter, there is mention made in a certain gConstitution of Constantius the son of Constantine, and in the Subscriptions both of the fourth general Council held at Chalcedon, and of the fifth held at Constantinople; in which last hSeverus subscribeth as Bishop of Synnada, the Metropolis of Phrygia Salutaris, (however iSocrates, by some lapse of memory, and kNicephorus blindly following him, have made this to ⟨p. 3⟩be a City of Phrygia Pacatiana:) as in that of Chalcedon, lAbercius, as Bishop of Hierapolis, a City of the same Phrygia Salutaris. Where it may be noted; first, that besides that more known Hierapolis in Phrygia Pacatiana (of which we shall have occasion to speak hereafter) there was another of less note in Phrygia Salutaris: the one whereof in mPli•yes days (before this new distinction of the parts of the greater Phrygia was brought in) belonged to the Laodicean, the other to the Pergamen jurisdiction. Secondly, that before this Abercius, who was present at the Council of Chalcedon; there were two other Bishops of the same name, who succeeded one another in the same See, about the time of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, whose Episcopal seat is by nSimeon Metaphrastes placed in that little Phrygia, whereof Synnada was the Metropolis: whereas the other Greeks more consonantly to the truth do relate, that oAbercius was Bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia Salutaris.
