Apollinaris the Bishop

Apollinaris, bishop of Hierapolis in Asia, flourished in the reign of Marcus Antoninus Verus, to whom he addressed a notable volume on behalf of the faith of the Christians. Five other books of his, Against the Nations, are also in existence, as well as two On Truth, and Against the Cataphrygians, written at the time when Montanus was making his beginning with Prisca and Maximilla.
