CHAP. VI. That Timotheus Aelurus recovered the [Bi∣shoprick] of Alexandria, and having resto∣red the priviledge of a Patriarchate to the [Church] of Ephesus, Anathematized the Chalcedon-Synod.

THE same [Zacharias] says, that Timo∣theus leaving the Imperial [City Constan∣tinople,] arrived at Ephesus, and [there] * 1.1 placed a 1.2 Paulus in the Archi-Episcopall See of the Ephesians. This [Paulus] had long be∣fore this been ordained by the Bishops of that Province, b 1.3 agreeable to the more ancient usage: but had been ejected out of his See. Timotheus also restored to the Ephesine Church the c 1.4 Pa∣triarchicall priviledge, which the Synod of Chal∣cedon had deprived it of, as I have said. Re∣moving from thence, he comes to Alexandria, and persisted to request those who came to him, to Anathematize the Synod of Chalcedon. Ne∣vertheless, many others of his own Faction re∣ceded from him (as 'tis related by the same Zacharias,) as did likewise Theodotus one of those that had been ordained at Joppa by * 1.5 Theodosius, who was made Bi∣shop of Jerusalem by some persons, at such time as Juvenalis went to Constanti∣nople.

Notes

• * 1.1

  Or, Sea∣ted Arch-Bishop Paulus in the [Chair] of the Ephe∣sians.
• a 1.2

  Timo∣theus Ae∣lurus and Petrus Fullo, to∣gether with other Bishops, being a little be∣fore this assembled at Constan∣tinople, had Decreed that this Paulus should be restored to the See of Ephesus, out of which he had been ejected. For these are Evagrius's words at the fifth chapter of this book, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, they Vote that Paulus also should recover the Archiepiscopall Chair of Ephesus. Which place Christophorson has not rendred truly, in this manner; His rebus ita constitutis Paulus ad sedem Archiepisco∣patûs Ephesiani capessendam deligitur, These things having been thus constituted, Paulus is chosen to take the Archiepiscopall See of Ephesus. For Paulus was not elected by Aelurus and Petrus Fullo at Constan∣tinople, that he should take the Ephesine-See: but having been ex∣pelled out of the See of Ephesus, he came to Constantinople: where a Councill of Eutychianists being convened, it was Decreed that he should recover the Archiepiscopate of the City Ephesus. In the fifth chapter of this book, the reading in the vulgar Editions was, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, Come into the Chair. But from the Florentine and Tellerian M. SS. I have mended it, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, enter upon. Yet I had rather add a preposition, and write it thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 return to, recover, or, re-enter upon. Vales.
• b 1.3

  〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. I had rather make it 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, &c. agreeable to, &c. Further, what Zacharias says here is most true, to wit, that it was the ancienter usage, that the Bishop of E∣phesus should be ordained by the Bishops of his own Province. For, from S^t Timothy who was the first Bishop of the Ephesians, untill Castinus, and Heraclides, whom John Chrysostome ordained, all the Bishops of the Ephesians were ordained in the same City by the Bi∣shops of that Province, as 'tis apparent from the Eleventh Action of the Chalcedon-Councill. Vales.
• c 1.4

  Zacharias does here call the Patriarchicall priviledge the Right of Primacy; or the priviledge of Ordaining Metropolitanes. For in this the Patriarchicall priviledge did properly consist, as I have observed in my Little Book concerning the interpretation of the Sixth Canon of the Nicene Councill, which is published at the close of Our Socrates. Now whereas Zacharias, or rather Evagrius, adds, that this priviledge had been taken away from the See of Ephesus by the Chalcedon Synod; he means' the Sixteenth Action of the Chalcedon-Synod; wherein it was Decreed, that the Constantinopolitane Bishops should Ordain Metro∣politanes in the Asian Dioecesis. Vales.
