Epiphanius died on board the ship, which was conveying him back to Cyprus, A. 402, leaving us a melancholy example of the unchristian excesses into which bigotry may hurry a man of real piety, and a sincere desire to do God service.
Of Constantia and metropolitan of Cyprus, distinguished from the preceding as the Younger, was represented at the third council of Constantinople (the sixth general council) by the bishop of Trimithus, one of his suffragans.

Epiphanius, had three aisles on either side of its central nave, though the outermost were very narrow.
At the east end of the central of the three south aisles is a marble-lined tomb, doubtless that which was constructed to contain the relics of St. Epiphanius by his successor Sabinus.
In all probability this was the "beautiful chapel" enshrining the tomb of St. Epiphanius which an English pilgrim mentions in an account of his visit to Cyprus in 1344.

Epiphanius was born between 310-320AD in Palestine, educated by monks and grew up in Egypt where he came into personal contact with Valentinian groups, where female members attempted to seduce him.
It is unclear what happened, but it seems possible that he was made aware of the political nature of the synod; he certainly left abruptly.

 "Montanism: Heresy Or Healthy Revival?" by Robert I Bradshaw
Douglas notes that “Epiphanius is reckoned to be a poor authority on almost any subject.”(4) Probably the two most valuable sources are Tertullian and the Anonymous contemporary of Montanus, quoted in Eusebius’s Church History.
Until the middle of the late fourth century the movement was known as the Kataphrygians (according to Eusebius, Epiphanius of Cyprus and John of Damascus),(16) a name derived from its place of origin.
Much has been made of the prophecy attributed to Prisca that the New Jerusalem would descend on Pepuza in Phrygia,(43) but again there is no evidence to suggest that this was a literal belief, as it may well have referred to a present rather than a future event.

Theophilus writes to Epiphanius to convoke a council in Cyprus for the condemnation of Origenism and asks him to transmit to Constantinople by a trustworthy messenger a copy of it's decrees together with the synodical letter of Theophilus himself.
His anxiety about this last point is caused by the news that certain of the excommunicated monks have set sail for Constantinople to lay their case before the bishop, John Chrysostom.
The date of the letter is 400 A.D. Theophilus to his well-beloved lord, brother, and fellow-bishop Epiphanius.

Epiphanius was arguing with two camps of Marian heretics — one that denied she was “ever-virgin” and another, a women’s sect known as the Collyridians, who worshipped Mary as a goddess.
Epiphanius is credited with being the first to have advanced such a reading, which has since become a part of accepted Catholic worship and belief.
From this early conflict, we can see that Church leaders like Epiphanius were already concerned to protect a proper Catholic understanding of Mary — and that belief about her “end” was in some way important to that concern.
