Asklepiades of Antioch
Asklepiades (also: Aslipiades or Askelpiades ) († around 218), called "the Confessor" , was bishop of Antioch at the beginning of the 3rd century .
Eusebius of Caesarea indicates the beginning of his term of office as the first year of the Caracallas government , so that 212 is usually given as the year Asklepiades took office. With reference to another source, Harnack suspects a somewhat earlier beginning. For the year of death there is next to the year 218 also the indication 220. Asklepiades took over the office from his predecessor Serapion . Philetus was his successor .
