Summary
The lists of bishops present at Nicaea are collected in H. Gelzer, H. Hilgenfeld, O. Cuntz, Patrum Nicaenorum Nomina (Script. Sacri et Profani, ii), Leipzig, 1899. We are here concerned only with the eastern bishops, that is those representing Palestine, Phoenicia, Syria, Arabia and Mesopotamia.
For Palestine most sources (Latin, Greek, Coptic, Syriac, Arabic) are agreed on the following: Macarius of Jerusalem, Germanus of Neapolis, Marianus (orMarinus) of Sebaste, Gaianus of Sebaste, Eusebius of Caesarea, Sabinus of Gadara, Longinus of Askalon, Peter of Nicopolis, Macrinus (or Marianus) of Jamnia, Maximus of Eleutheropolis, Paul (or Paulinus) of Maximianopolis, Januarius of Jericho, Heliodorus of Zabulon, Aetius of Lydda, Silvanus of Azotus, Patrophilus of Scythapolis, Asclepius (or Asclepas) of Gaza, Peter of Aila, Antiochus (or Antipatros) of Capetolias (or Gaza). The Coptic lists add Diodore of Basulon, Aetius of Dintra and Sabinus of Azotus (22 names in all). Marianus and Gaianus of Sebaste are differentiated in the Greek lists, the former being Sebastenos, the latter Sebastes, both Sebastenus in Latin.
For Phoenicia: Zeno of Tyre, Aeneas (or Ananias) of Ptolemais, Magnus of Damascus, Theodore of Sidon, Hellanicus (or Hellaticus) of Tripolis, Philocalus (or Philocanus, Phicas) of Paneas, Gregory of Berytus, Marinus of Palmyra, Thadoneus (or Baddoneus) of Alassos (or Emesa, Agela), Anatolius of Emesa. The Coptic lists add Synodorus (or Zenodorus) of Antaradus, Ballaus of Thersea (12 names in all).
