JOANNES AEGEATES.
JOannes Aegeates a Nestorian Priest hath composed a Church-History, which begins at the Empire of Theodosius the younger, when Nestorius divulged his Heresie, and was deposed; and ends with the Empire of Zeno, and the Deposition of Petrus Fullo. The style of this Author was Noble and Florid. He relates the 3d general Council held at Ephesus, and that of the other Council held at the same place under Dioscorus, to which they give the name of an Assembly of Thieves, but yet this Author makes it an Holy Synod; and Dioscorus and his Com∣panions Saints. He also made the History of the Council of Chalcedon, but it was full of Abuses and Calumnies. The same John Aegeates hath also written a Book on purpose against the Council of Chalcedon, he had promised 10 Books, but Photius, from whom we have taken all this, had never seen but five; which begin, as we have said, with Nestorius, and ended at the Deposition of P. Fullo. We have nothing of them, but only some Fragments recited in the Second Council of Nice, Tom. 7. of the Councils, p. 369. and in the Collections of Theodorus, L. 2. p. 563.
