THEODOSIUS, CONON, EUGENIUS, THEMISTIUS and THEODORUS.

PHiloponus's Treatise of the Resurrection was confuted by Theodosius the Monk, by Conon, Eugenius and Themistius. These three last made a Book, entituled, An Invective, in which * 1.1 they treated him as a Man unworthy the Name of a Christian, tho' they agreed with him in not receiving the Council of Chalcedon. This Themistius seems to be that Heretick whose Frag∣ments are found quoted in the sixth Council, who was of the Sect of the Agnoetae, and had written an Apology for S. Theophobius; against which, another Monk, named Theodorus, of the Sect of * 1.2 those, who said the Deity had suffer'd, writ a Book; in which he did refute the four Arguments urg'd by Themistius, to prove that Christ was subject to Ignorance. Themistius wrote an Answer to that Work, to which Theodorus opposed three other Books. Photius saith, They did both of them write indifferent, clear and strong. See the 23d. 24th. and 108th. Vo∣lumes of his Bibliotheca, for we have not now these Works.
