A graphic descriptiva of the proceedings at Ephesus, and some
particulars not mentioned elsewhere, we read in one of the Letters
of Theodoret, addressed to John of Germanicia.*

De presenti rerum statu nihil sperare licet, Theodoret begins,
defectionisque absolute initia hee esse arbitror ; and he goes on
to complain, that even those who declare their abhorrence of the
violent proceedings at Ephesus (uera@ Bias), now acquiesce in what
was done there; while the promoters of it show more and more
their insolence, actually affirming that no immovation was made in
the dogma (undeulay yeyernoba rept TO Séypa Kawvorouiay), as if he,
‘Theodoret, had been expelled because of an immoral life (ob caedes
et maleficia)! while even BaeBapo clearly see, that they expelled
him as well as others on account of the Dogma. Kat yap roy ktiprov
