Germinius of Sirmium

Germinius of Sirmium

Germinius was bishop of Sirmium and a supporter of Homoian theology, which is often labelled as a form of Arianism. Along with Valens of Mursa and Ursacius of Singidunum he was responsible for drafting the theological statement known as the Blasphemy of Sirmium in 357. He also appears in the "Altercatio Heracliani laici cum Germinio episcopo Sirmiensi", which purports to be the minutes of an public disputation between Germinius and a Nicene layman called Heraclianus in January 366. He is believed to have died in 375 or 376.
