Alexander of Apamea
Alexander (Gr. Ἀλέξανδρος) was a bishop of Apamea in Syria in the 5th century. He was one of a number of moderate Eastern bishops during the Nestorian controversy, and one of the eight bishops deputed by the party of John of Antioch to the Emperor Theodosius II.[1] Alexander was sent with his namesake, Alexander of Hierapolis, by John of Antioch to the Council of Ephesus in 431.[2] The Alexanders brought word that John had not yet arrived in Ephesus and that the council should start without him.[3]
A letter by him is extant in Latin in the Nova Collectio Conciliorum of Étienne Baluze, p. 834. c. 132. fol, Paris, 1683.
