Verses
Antipater received the Savior richly,
Adorned greatly with the virtues as an offering.
Little is known about this fifth century Bishop of Bostra in Arabia, who flourished during the time of the Fourth Ecumenical Synod (451). Antipater was held in high esteem by his contemporaries, civil and ecclesiastical. He is rated among the authoritative ecclesiastical writers by the Fathers of the Seventh Ecumenical Synod (787).
