This explanation, however, is rejected by G. F.

The Meletian Schism was a dispute in Antioch between two pro-Nicene groups; the Meletians, who maintained that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three hypostases, and the older pro-Nicene group, the Eustathians, who taught a single hypostasis. The Eustathians described the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three <a href="/wiki/Prosopon" title="Prosopon">prosopa</a>, but Basil of Caesarea objected that the Sabellians also used this term and that it does not make sufficient distinction between the Persons. Basil wrote: </p><blockquote><p>“It is not enough to count differences in the prosōpa. It is necessary also to confess that each prosōpon exists in a true hypostasis. The mirage of prosōpa without hypostaseis is not denied even by Sabellius, who said that the same God, though he is one subject, is transformed according to the need of each occasion and is thus spoken of now as Father, now as Son, and now as Holy Spirit.” (Epistle 210.5.36–41.)</p></blockquote><p>Philip Schaff summarized the Meletian Schism as follows:</p><blockquote><p>“The doctrinal difference between the Meletians and the old Nicenes consisted chiefly in this: that the latter acknowledged three hypostases in the divine trinity, the former only three prosopa; the one laying the stress on the triplicity of the divine essence, the other on its unity.”<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote><p>The Eustathians elected as rival bishop the presbyter <a href="/wiki/Paulinus_II_of_Antioch" title="Paulinus II of Antioch">Paulinus</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Councils_of_Alexandria" title="Councils of Alexandria">synod of Alexandria</a> (362) sent deputies to attempt an arrangement between the two anti-Arian churches; but before they arrived Paulinus had been consecrated bishop by <a href="/wiki/Lucifer_of_Calaris" class="mw-redirect" title="Lucifer of Calaris">Lucifer of Calaris</a>.
