Life
For more than sixty years he governed the Church in Spain as Bishop of Cordoba. He participated prominently at the First Ecumenical Council in Nicaea and presided over the local Council of Sardica in the year 347. He was so zealous for Orthodoxy that even before his death he once more pronounced anathema upon the heresy of Arius.
