II. Synoptical Table of the Bishops of the Chief Sees

And of the Principal Councils Held, During the Lifetime of Athanasius.

N.B.-The names of bishops in italics are open to doubt regarding their date.

An asterisk prefixed to a bishop's name means that he was elected when the see was not de facto vacant (the case of Ursinus of Rome in 366 is not free from doubt).

_ after the name of a synod indicates that although not formally Arian it was held under the influence of Eusebius of Nicomedia.

* denotes a synod more or less implicated in Arianism by its creeds (N.B. no creed at Aries or Milan, 353-355).

** denote a formally Arian synod.
