Tyrannion of Antioch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tyrannion (or Tyrannos) (d. around 308) was bishop of Antioch as the successor of Cyril I [de].

Tyrannion's name comes from his origin in the city of Tyre. He was bishop at the beginning of the fourth century, but otherwise very little is known about him. Even the dates of his tenure are uncertain: according to some sources, he served in the years 299–308, and according to others in the years 304–314.[1]
