Confusion

 – deleted inaccuracy

I believe the author of this article is confusing Basil of Ancyra, the priest, and Basil of Ancyra, the bishop of Ancyra who twice succeeded Marcellus as bishop. I know very little about the former, other than that he was not the bishop of Ancyra. Basil, the bishop, was a semi-Arian who supported the homoiousion doctrine; far from supporting or defending Marcellus, he wrote a book Against Marcellus (see Jerome Vir. Ill. 89).
