Lucian the Presbyter

Lucian, a man of great talent, presbyter of the church at Antioch, was so diligent in the study of the Scriptures that even now certain copies of the Scriptures bear the name of Lucian. Works of his On Faith survive, along with short Letters to various people. He was put to death at Nicomedia for confessing Christ in the persecution of Maximinus, and he was buried at Helenopolis in Bithynia.
