ABSTRACT

On the orthodox side we may mention the L1:ber contra Arianos by Pocbadius of Agcn, who, during St Hilary's exile, held a position of some prominence in Gaul. His mind was without originality, for whom Tertullian's Adversus Praxean seems to have been his favourite work, to judge from the clippings and abridgments which he took from it for his treatise addressed to the Bishops of Gaul. In it he aims especially at the second formula of Sirmium (857) which was strongly tinged with Arianism, and at Bishop Hosius of Cordova who had weakly subscribed to it.
