Saint **Triphyllius** (Greek: Τριφύλλιος; also spelled *Tryphillius, Triphylius*) was born in [Constantinople](/source/Constantinople) in the early fourth century. He was educated in law at the [school of Beirut](/source/Law_School_of_Beirut). He converted to [Christianity](/source/Christianity) and was named bishop of [Nicosia](/source/Nicosia). Triphyllius was a follower of [Saint Spyridon](/source/Saint_Spyridon) of Trimythous. He was also an ardent supporter of Saint [Athanasius of Alexandria](/source/Athanasius_of_Alexandria) against the [Arians](/source/Arianism), and he was consequently persecuted by them. [Saint Jerome](/source/Saint_Jerome) considered him one of the most eloquent Church figures of the era.[1][2][3][4]
