About the source:

Author: Gelasius of Cyzicus
Title: Ecclesiastical History, Kirchengeschichte, Ἐκκλησιαστικὴ ἱστορία, Historia ecclesiastica, Church History
Origin: East
Denomination: Catholic/Nicene/Chalcedonian
In the manuscripts, the work had the title "Collection of the acts of the council of Nicea;" it has, in fact, signs of being a compilation, but it may also be attributed to the genre of "ecclesiastical history." The author stated in the preface of his work that he was the son of a presbyter from Kyzikos, and that he was writing in Bithynia some time after the revolt of Basiliscus (AD 475-476). Philologists of the 16th century, wrongly interpreting the remarks of Photius (codex 15 and 88), invented "Gelasius of Cyzicus." Their theory cannot be upheld and the work is now considered anonymous (Hansen 2002: X-XI).
