| Summary: | This study demonstrates the fallaciousness of the long-standing historiographical view that George of Laodicea escaped deposition at the Council of Constantinople in January 360 because he deserted the homoiousians for the newly ascendant homoians. It argues that George of Laodicea died in late 359, after the Council of Seleucia but before the Council of Constantinople. This conclusion follows from the demonstration that the ‘George’ of an unnamed see who is mentioned in several sources as collaborating with Acacius of Caesarea in the aftermath of the Council of Constantinople is not to be identified as George of Laodicea (as the older historiographical tradition had assumed), but his Alexandrian namesake. |
