Of the COUNCIL of Constantinople, in the Year 394.
BAlsamon has preserv'd a Fragment of this Council held at Constantinople on the 27th. of September in the Year 394. It was compos'd of three Eastern Patriarchs, Nectarius of Constantinople, Theo∣philus* 1.1 of Alexandria, and Flavianus of Antioch, and of Sixteen Bishops of the East and of Asia. In it the Difference was examin'd that was between Agapius and Bagadius, who both pretended to the Bishoprick of Bostra. Bagadius had been depos'd by two Bishops. The Council disapproves this Judg∣ment, and declares, That as a Bishop cannot be ordain'd but by three Bishops, so neither can he be depos'd by less than three. Theophilus says, That three Bishops are not sufficient, but all the Bishops of the Province should assemble if it be possible, and all the Synod approv'd his Judgment. This is all we know of this Council.
