See also:AETIUS (fl. 350) , surnamed " the Atheist," founder of an extreme See also:sect of Arians, was a native of Coele-See also:Syria. After working as a See also:vine-See also:dresser and then as a See also:goldsmith he became a travelling See also:doctor, and displayed See also:great skill in disputations on medical subjects; but his controversial See also:power soon found a wider See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field for its exercise in the great theological question of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time. He studied successively under the Arians, See also:Paulinus, See also:bishop of See also:Antioch, See also:Athanasius, bishop of See also:Anazarbus, and the See also:presbyter See also:Antonius of See also:Tarsus. In 350 he was ordained a See also:deacon by See also:Leontius of Antioch, but was shortly afterwards forced by the orthodox party to leave that See also:town. At the first See also:synod of Sirmium he won a See also:dialectic victory over the homoiousjan bishops, 13asilius and See also:Eustathius, who sought in consequence to stir up against him the enmity of See also:Caesar See also:Gallus. In 356 he went to See also:Alexandria with See also:Eunomius (q.v.) in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to See also:advocate Arianism, but he was banished by See also:Constantius. See also:Julian recalled him from See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile, bestowed upon him an See also:estate in See also:Lesbos, and retained him for a time at his See also:court in See also:Constantinople. Being consecrated a bishop, he used his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office in the interests of Arianism by creating other bishops of that party. At the See also:accession of See also:Valens (364) he retired to his estate at Lesbos, but soon returned to Constantinople, where he died in 367. The Anomoean sect of the Arians, of whom he was the See also:leader, are sometimes called after him Aetians. His See also:work De Fide has been preserved in connexion with a refutation written by See also:Epiphanius (Haer. lxxvi. 1o). Its See also:main thought is that the Homousia, i.e. the See also:doctrine that the Son (therefore the Begotten) is essentially See also:God, is self-contradictory, since the See also:idea of unbegottenness is just that which constitutes the nature of God.
