Paulinus II of Antioch

[2] Members of the Eustathian party objected to Meletius as having been consecrated by Arians, and had begun to meet separately.

Athanasius of Alexandria came to Antioch by order of the emperor, and expressed to Meletius his wish of entering into communion with him.

Meletius, ill-advised, delayed answering him, and Athanasius went away having admitted Paulinus, whom he had not yet recognized as bishop, to his communion.

[4] In 374 Pope Damasus I recognized Paulinus as archbishop and made him the papal representative in the East.

[2] While the imperial court supported Meletius, the churches in Rome and Alexandria favored Paulinus.
