Little is known of his early life. Apollinaris was Bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia, in Asia Minor. [[Eusebius of Caesarea|Eusebius]], [[Jerome]], Theodoret, and others spoke of him in the highest terms and furnished us with the few facts that are known about him. Apollinaris became famous for his polemical treatises against the [[heretic]]s of his time, showing their errors to be borrowed from the [[paganism|pagans]]. He was prolific in his writings. He wrote two books against the Jews, five against the pagans, and two on "Truth". He may have been among those who were Quartodecimans who held that the date of [[Pascha]] must remain the fourteenth of Nisan. The date of Pascha was finally set at the [[First Ecumenical Council]] in 325. Except for a few extracts of his writings none of his writings has survived, the longest of which relates to the date of Pascha.

The date of the death of St. Apollinaris is not known, but it probably occurred about the year 175, before the death of Marcus Aurelius.
