ANGYRA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Basilius, (Basileios and Basilios), commonly called Basil. Bishop of Ancyra (A. D. 336-360),
originally a physician, was one of the chief leaders of the Semi-Arian party,
and the founder of a sect of Arians which was named after him. He was held in
high esteem by the emperor Constantius, and is praised for his piety and learning
by Socrates and Sozomen. He was engaged in perpetual controversies both with the
orthodox and with the ultra Arians. His chief opponent was Acacius, through whose
influence Basil was deposed by the synod of Constantinople (A. D. 360), and banished
to Illyricum. He wrote against his predecessor Marcellus, and a work on Virginity.
His works are lost. (Hieron. de Vir. Illust. 89 ; Epiphan. Haeres. lxxiii. 1;
Socrates, H. E. ii. 30, 42; Sozomen, H. E. ii. 43.)

ANGYRA (Ancient city) TURKEY
Macarius of Ancyra, of which city he was metropolitan. Macarius lived in the earlier part of the fifteenth century, and was author of a work against the Latin church and its advocates, entitled Kata tes ton Latinon kakodoxias kai kata Barlaam kai Akindunon, Adxersus Maligna Latinorium Dogmata et contra Barlaam et Acindynum. The work is extant only in MS., but has been cited in several places by Allatius in his De Eccles. Occident. et Orient. perpet. Consensione. Allatits characterizes the work as trifling and full of absurdities; but Cave considers that the citations given by Allatius himself by no means justify his censure. (Cave, Hist. Litt. ad ann. 1430; Fabricius, Bibl. Graec. vol. viii. p. 367.)
