  Lucian of Antioch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early in life Lucian took up his residence at Antioch, where he was ordained presbyter, and where he soon attained a commanding position as head of the theological school in that city.
Despite his heterodoxy, Lucian was a man of the most unexceptionable virtue (Eusebius of Caesarea, H. E., VIII, xiii, 2); at the height of the Arian controversy his fame for sanctity was not less than his reputation as a scholar.
During the persecution of Maximinus, Lucian was arrested at Antioch and sent to Nicomedia, where he endured many tortures and, after delivering a long oration in defence of his faith, was finally put to death on January 7, 312, in Nicomedia, Bithynia, Asia Minor (now Izmit, Turkey).

He was transported from Antioch to Nicomedia, where the emperor then resided, made a noble confession of his faith before the judge and died under the tortures in prison (311).
The contradictory reports are easily reconciled by the assumption that Lucian was a critical scholar with some peculiar views on the Trinity and Christology which were not in harmony with the later Nicene orthodoxy, but that he wiped out all stains by his heroic confession and martyrdom.

Conflate readings, in which the Lucianic text puts side by side a variant found in א B with the alternative given in D Lat., formed one of the most striking pieces of evidence adduced by Hort to prove that the Lucianic text was a revision based on texts of the other types.
Like Lucian he may have preferred a text which included such "Western" readings as were well known and long established, in which harsh grammar and inelegancies of style had been emended, and in which Mark's Gospel did not break off short in the middle of a sentence but had a reasonable ending.
The main objection to identifying B with the Hesychian recension is Jerome's emphatic denunciation of the text of Hesychius, along with that of Lucian, as an interpolated and corrupt revision.

Although Lucian and Arius seemed to be interested primarily in the nature of Christ, the Arian controversy is called Trinitarian, not Christological, because the point at issue was the relationship between the Father and the Son in the Trinity.
Lucian held that the Logos took upon himself a human body, but not a soul; in other words, according to later standards, Lucian’s Jesus was not only not fully God, he also was not fully man.
