or NICAEAS was, as we have noticed above, bishop of Aquileia in the middle of the fifth century. His remains have been carefully collected from various sources by Mai in the "Scriptorum Veterum Nova Collectio e Vaticanis Codicibus edita," 4to. Rom. 1833, vol. vii. p. 314-- 340. They consist of four short tracts: -- 1. De Ratione Fidei. 2. De Spiritus Sancti Potentia. 3. De diversis Appellationibus Domino nostro Jesu Christo convenienlibus. 4. Explunatio Symboli habita ad competentes, together with six fragments of a few lines each.

NICETAS, who was bishop of Trèves in the middle of the sixth century, does not fall within the limits of this work.
