Little is known about St. Zephyrinus, who was pope of
Rome from c. 198 or 199 until 217. The
antipope who opposed him, Hippolytus, says he was a simple and avaricious man. He adds that Zephyrinus relied too much on his deacon, Callixtus, who was in charge of the church's cemetary. Zephyrinus battled the heresies of adoptionism, modalism, and monarchianism; the
antipope also accuses him of being a modalist.
