ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY: BOOK II 117 subjected to the insults . . .’, 206 when the Illyrian and Palestinian bishops expressed doubt, the same Aetius read a chapter of Cyril which contained the following: ‘Whereas there are some of the expressions which are particularly appropriate to Divinity, thus again there are others which are appropriate to humanity, while others occupy a sort of middle rank and represent the Son of God as being God and man together in the same.’ And after this when the aforesaid bishops expressed doubts about another part of Leo’s letter, which contained: 207 ‘For if most certainly indeed in the Lord Jesus Christ there is one person of God and man, nevertheless the thing through which the insult is common in each is one thing, and that through which the glory is established in common is another thing. For from us He has the humanity which is inferior to the Father, but from the Father He has the Divinity in which He is equal with the Father . . .’, Theodoret weighed matters up and said that the blessed Cyril too had said as follows, word for word: [85] ‘And after becoming man and not laying aside his own nature, He remained what He was, and one thing dwelt in something di¡erent, namely the divine nature with men.’ After this, when the illustrious o⁄cials enquired whether anyone was still doubtful, they all said that they were no longer in doubt. 208 After this Atticus, Bishop of Nicopolis, requested that they have an adjournment of a few days so that what seemed right to God and the holy Fathers might be formulated with unru¥ed thought and untroubled consideration. He requested that they also take the letter of Cyril which was written to Nestorius, in which he exhorted him to agree to his Twelve Chapters, to which everyone agreed. And after the o⁄cials proposed that they should have an adjournment of ¢ve days to assemble with Anatolius, the prelate of Constantinople, all the bishops acclaimed, saying: ‘We believe thus, we all believe thus; just as Leo, thus do we believe. None of us is doubtful; we have all subscribed.’ 209 With regard to this the following was proposed in these terms: ‘It is not necessary for all of you to assemble; but since it is appropriate that 206 Leo’s phrasing again appears to separate the divine and human elements in Christ’s body. 207 ACO II.i.2, p. 82:23^33. 208 Request for adjournment: ACO II.i.2, pp. 82:34^83:18. 209 I.e. to the expulsion of Dioscorus.
118 EVAGRIUS the doubtful should be assured, the most devout archbishop Anatolius should select from the subscribers those whom he esteems for instruction of the doubtful.’ To this those in the Synod added as follows: 210 ‘We beg concerning the Fathers: the Fathers in the Synod, those who share Leo’s views in the Synod, the Fathers in the Synod; our voices to the emperor, our pleas to the orthodox one, our pleas to the Augusta. We have all done wrong, let there be forgiveness for all.’ [86] Those of the Church of Constantinople cried out: ‘Few are shouting; the Synod does not speak.’ After this the Easterners shouted out: ‘The Egyptian into exile.’ The Illyrians roared: ‘We beg, mercy for all.’ After this the Easterners: ‘The Egyptian into exile.’ And as the Illyrians were making similar requests, the clergy of Constantinople cried out: ‘Dioscorus into exile, the Egyptian into exile, the heretic into exile; Christ deposed Dioscorus.’ After this the Illyrians and their associate bishops again: ‘We have all done wrong, forgive all. Dioscorus to the Synod, Dioscorus to the churches.’ And after similar proceedings the business of this gathering was terminated. At the subsequent gathering, when the senate proposed that the formulae which had already been presented shoud be read out, the secretary Constantine read out the following from a paper, word for word: 211 Concerning the orthodox and universal faith we resolve that a more precise investigation should be made at the next opportunity, after one day when the assembly is more complete. But as for Flavian of pious memory and Eusebius, the most devout bishop, from examination of what was done and decided and from the very words of some who were leaders of the Council then, who confess that they were mistaken and had deposed those men invalidly, since they are revealed to have been unjustly 210 This session ended in uproar with a plea for the restoration of deposed bishops; the point at issue was whether Dioscorus, to whose condemnation everyone present had just subscribed, should be reinstated along with the bishops deposed at the ¢rst session: ACO II.i.2, pp. 83:19^84:6. 211 The fourth session on 17 October began with a brief recapitulation by the imperial commissioners of the main items from the ¢rst two sessions, namely the deposition of Dioscorus, which Evagrius quotes (ACO II.i.2, p. 92:17^30, with divergences noted by Bidez^ Parmentier), the statement of the principles of Marcian’s faith, and the decision to grant an adjournment of ¢ve days (ACO II.i.2, pp. 92:31^93:16). Evagrius had already quoted the condemnation of Dioscorus and his colleagues in its context at the end of the ¢rst session (ii.4, pp. 44:26^45:15: ACO II.i.1, p. 195:10^24).
