A synod of the province of Pontus held at Neocaesarea shortly after Ancyra and before Nicaea. Its fifteen canons treat clerical marriage, the age of thirty for a presbyter, second marriages, catechumens and the number of deacons in a city; like Ancyra's they passed into the general code of the Church.
