been the first to raise the cry of heresy against Evagrius. The editors of the Bibliotheca Patrum (except Gallandius) prefix to the portions of his works which they publish a prefatory caveat. He is charged with perpetuating the errors of Origen, and anticipating those of Pelagius. Tillemont vindicates him from these charges. Some of his opinions, as coincident with those of Origen, were condemned, according to Nicephorus Callisti, at the fifth general (second Constantinopolitan) council, A. D. 553.

as originally a monk of the town of Amaseia, whence he was sent by his fellow-citizens to Constantinople, as proxy for their bishop. The great talent he displayed in some theological controversy gained him general admiration, and the emperor in A. D. 553 raised him to the highest dignity in the church at Constantinople. In the same year he accordingly presided at an ecumenical synod, which was held in that city. In A. D. 564, he incurred the anger of the emperor Justinian, by refusing to give h emperor Tiberius restored him to his see, which he henceforth retained until his death in 585, at the age of 73.

ratus accompanied him, and probably remained with him till the bishop's death, in 563. Nothing further is known of him. Works Breviarium Caussae Nestorianorum et Eutychianorum Liberatus is the author of a valuable contribution to ecclesiastical history entitled Breviarium Caussae Nestorianorum et Eutychianorum. It comprehends the history of a century and a quarter, from the ordination of Nestorius, A. D. 428, to the time of the fifth oecumenical (or second Constantinopolitan) council, A. D. 553, and is divided into 24 chapters. It was compiled, as the author tells us in his proem, from " the ecclesiastical history lately translated from Greek into Latin," apparently that translated by Epiphanius Scholasticus [EPIPHANIUS, No. 11], from the Greek ecclesiastical historians; from the acts of the councils and the letters of the fathers, from a document written in Greek at Alexandria, and from the communications, apparently oral, of men of character and weight. He made considerable use

d both in the East and West, yet they were favourably regarded by some of the more eminent men, among whom were the ecclesiastical historians Socrates, Sozomen and Theodoret. In the reign of Justinian, Origenism revived in the monasteries of Palestine, and the emperor himself wrote his Epistola ad Menam (s. Mennam) Patriarcham CPolitanum against the Origenists, who were expelled from their monasteries in Palestine, and condemned in the fifth oecumenical (second Constantinopolitan), council A. D. 553. The Greeks generally followed the decision of the council, and a new element, the question of the salvation of Origen, was added to the controversy respecting the truth or error of his doctrines. In the West the dispute was revived with the revival of learning. Merlinus, Erasmus, and Genebrardus, his editors, Joannes Picus of Mirandula, Sixtus of Sena, and the Jesuit Halloix, defended Origen, and affirmed his salvation. The cardinals Baronius and Bellarmin took the opposite side, as did t

D. 408-553, and treating more fully of the author's own times; two On the War with the Vandals, from A. D. 395-545; four On the Gothic War, or properly speaking, only three books, the fourth (eighth) being a sort of supplement containing various matters, and going down to the beginning of A. D. 553. It was continued by Agathias till 559. The work is extremely interesting; the descriptions of the habits, &c. of the barbarians are faithful and masterly done. Photius gives an analysis of the first two books, and Agathias, the continuator of Procopius, gives an analysis of all the eight books, in the preface to his History. Editions Latin Versions. The first of these was published under the title De Bello Italico adversus Gothos gesto, lib. iv. Foligno, 1470, fol., Venet. 1471, fol.

Theodo'rus 7. Of AMASIA. Possevino (Apparatus Sacer, vol. ii. p. 462, ed. Cologne, 1608) mentions two works, Explicatio ad Ecclesiastem et Canticum Canticorum, and Dogmatica Panoplia adversus Judacos, Armenios et Saracenos, as written by Theodore, bishop of Amasia in Pontus. Le Quien (Oriens Christianus, vol. i. col. 528) notices both works in speaking of Theodore, who was bishop of Amasia at the time of the fifth General Council, A. D. 553, where his signature appears among those of the subscribing prelates; but if, as its title indicates, the Panoplia is a defence of orthodox Christianity against Mohammedanism, the work cannot be of so early a date. No other Theodore is known among the bishops of Amasia. (Possevin.; Le Quien, ll. cc.

of no effect. The emperor persisted; bribery and persecution were freely employed to obtain ecclesiastical support for the imperial edict; and so great was the confusion that even Theodore himself is said to have publicly acknowledged that both he and his great opponent the deacon Pelagius, the pope's legate, deserved to be burnt alive for the scandals their struggle had occasioned. The disturbance was only ended by the assembling of the fifth general (or second Constantinopolitan) council A. D. 553. That council condemned Origen and his supporters on the one hand; and Theodore of Mopsuestia, Theodoret, and Ibas on the other. Theodore Ascidas subscribed to these several anathemas. He died A. D. 558 at Constantinople; if, as is most likely, he is the bishop of Caesaraeia, whose death is noticed by Joannes Malalas, Chronographia, p. 234, ed. Oxford, p. 81, ed. Venice, p. 489, ed. Bonn.

a great deal of discussion, into the details of which we cannot here enter. Even during his lifetime he was accused of favouring the heresy of Pelagius, and is said to have found it necessary to establish his reputation for orthodoxy, by a retractation of his suspicious expressions. He, at all events, remained unmolested in the communion of the Church. After his death, however, the Nestorians appealed to his writings in confirmation of their opinions, and at the fifth oecumenical council (A. D. 553) Theodorus and his writings were condemned. He found, however, many warm defenders, especially Facundus. [FACUNDUS.] Among those who most bitterly assailed him and his writings were Leontius, Cyril of Alexandria, Rabulas of Edessa. and others. His works were held in great repute among the Syrian Churches, and many of them were translated into Syriac, Arabic. and Persian. His memory was revered among the Nestorians. Several distinguished ecclesiastics are mentioned as his disciples, as Nest
