To Bishop Bosporius. Bosporius, an
intimate friend of Basil and of Gregory of Nazianzus, was bishop of
Colonia, in Cappadocia Secunda. Basil left Cæsarea in 360
in distress at hearing that Dianius had subscribed the creed of
Ariminum, but was hurt at the charge that he had anathematized his
friend and bishop. Dianius died in Basil’s arms in
362.
