OF UNCERTAIN DATE IN THE FIFTH CENTURY. TIMOTHEUS OF BERYTUS NOTICE.
(MICH. LEQUIEN, *Oriens Christ.* II, 818.) In the index of bishops who attended the first Council of Constantinople, is Timotheus of Berytus, of the province of Phoenicia. But is he not that same Timotheus, bishop of Berytus, who was a disciple of the heretic Apollinaris, and of whose works some fragments occur?

5TH CENTURY, UNCERTAIN YEAR. EUSTATHIUS BISHOP OF BERYTUS. NOTICE.
(MICH. LEQUIEN, *Oriens Christ.* II, 818.)
A Eustathius, bishop of Berytus, was seated at Berytus at the time when Flavian was at Constantinople, by whom and by whose synod he was commissioned to examine, along with Photius of Tyre, the case of Athanasius of Perrha, which they accomplished in the conventions held first at Tyre and subsequently at Berytus. B Afterward, he came to the Second Council of Ephesus, in which he did everything according to the wishes of Dioscorus of Alexandria; whence he obtained from the Emperor Theodosius that Berytus be established as the metropolis of a new province, which was the cause of a great dispute between him and Photius of Tyre. In the year 451, at the Council of Chalcedon, he washed away the stain that he had incurred two years earlier at Ephesus, by renouncing the impiety of Eutyches and Dioscorus, and by subscribing to the definition of the right faith, the epistle of Leo to Flavian, and other decrees. Zacharias Scholasticus, who afterward became bishop of Mitylene, in his Dialogue which he held with a pagan philosopher *On the creation of the world* in the church of Berytus, describes that temple most elegantly, as having been constructed by Eustathius. C Leo Augustus issued an epistle to him, as metropolitan, concerning the murder of Saint Proterius of Alexandria, addressed to "Eustathius, most reverend bishop of Berytus": Eustathius, however, signed the synodical epistle of Phoenicia Prima only as second after Dorotheus of Tyre. He contended for the Council of Chalcedon against Timotheus Ælurus, the murderer of Proterius, a fragment of whose volume against him exists in the *Collectio Manuscripta* against various heretics, which is preserved in the Library of the Paris College of the Society of Jesus.
Apology or defense of Eustathius, Bishop of Berytus, regarding the letter of Pope Leo of Rome against Timothy Aelurus.
(HENRIC. CANIS. *Lection. antiq.* II, 257.)
He did not subjoin, *σώματος ἐργαζομένου*—the body working—but *ἐκτελοῦντος*—performing whatever pertains to the body—in order to signify to you that the body, at the will of the Word to which it belonged as his own, was moved *κατὰ τὴν ἀκολουθίαν τῆς φύσεως*—according to the sequence of nature—whenever this was present to the Word of God; for it did not move itself toward natural passions or the things that fall upon it from without, but with the Word permitting it *οἰκονομικῶς*, that is, according to the order of nature, when it was pleasing to the Word; for it was not moved by itself toward natural passions, or toward those things which happened from without, but with the Word permitting it *οἰκονομικῶς*.
D Consider from the following things the *ἀκρίβειαν*—that is, the polished and perfect reasoning of these dogmas; for when he had said: "Each form worked with the communion of the other, that which it had as its own," he subjoined: "With the Word indeed working that which is of the Word, but the body performing whatever things were of the body." When he said *τοῦ Λόγου κατεργαζομένου*—that is, the Word working—he signified *τὴν αὐθεντίαν καὶ ἐξουσίαν καὶ τὸ ἀδούλωτον*—that is, the authority and power and freedom of the divinity—for whatever things are of the Word, these are *ἀρχικὰ καὶ βασιλικά*, that is, principal and royal.
