Agapius (Manichaean)
Agapius (or Agapios) was a Christian philosopher associated with Manichaeism. He is supposed to have lived in the fourth or fifth century.〔Obolensky, Dimitri. ''The Bogomils: a Study in Balkan Neo-Manichaeism''. Pages 25-26. Anthony C. Hall, 1972 (reprint)〕

He is chiefly known for being mentioned in the Bibliotheca, a work by Photius, the ninth-century Patriarch of Constantinople. He is listed by Photius, as well as Peter of Sicily, as being among the twelve disciples of Mani.〔Schneemelcher, Wilhelm & Robert McLachlan Wilson. ''New Testament Apocrypha: Writings Relating to the Apostles Apocalypses and Related Subjects.'' Page 91. John Knox Press, 2003.〕 However, in earlier sixth-century works, such as the abjuration formula of Zacharias Mitylene and the handbook on abjuration of heresies by Presbyter Timothy of Constantinople, he is not listed as a Manichean but merely as the author of a work entitled ''the Heptalogue'' (''Heptalogus'').〔Lieu, Samuel N.C. ''Manichaeism in the Later Roman Empire and Medieval China: a Historical Survey''. Pages 106-107. Manchester University Press, 1985.〕
Photius also describes Agapius as challenging the teachings of Eunomius, who, according to Samuel N.C. Lieu, may be identified as Eunomius of Cyzicus, the Arian bishop of Cyzicus in Mysia.〔 Agapius, however, could not have both been a disciple of Mani, who died in 276, and have lived long enough to write against Eunomius of Cyzicus, who began as bishop in 360.〔Smith, Henry & Henry Wace. ''A Dictionary of Christian Biography, Literature, Sects and Doctrines'', Vol. I. Page 58. John Murray, 1877.〕
