Stephen of Hierapolis explained
Stephen of Hierapolis (Greek, Modern (1453-);: Στέφανος,[1] fl. 600 AD) was a bishop of Hierapolis Bambyce, Syria. Stephen was the author of a hagiography of St. Golindouch, who was his guest in Hierapolis after escaping martyrdom under Hormizd IV.[2]
Based on that text,[3] we can conclude that Stephen was a Chalcedonian.[4]
