Extracts from the Acts. Session 2 Part 1

Council of Ephesus (d. 431)

Extracts from the Acts. Session II.

(Labbe and Cossart, Concilia, Tom. III., col. 609.)

The most pious and God-beloved bishops, Arcadius and Projectus, as also the most beloved-of-God Philip, a presbyter and legate of the Apostolic See, then entered and took their seats.

Philip the presbyter and legate of the Apostolic See said: We bless the holy and adorable Trinity that our lowliness has been deemed worthy to attend your holy Synod. For a long time ago (pa/lai) our most holy and blessed pope Coelestine, bishop of the Apostolic See, through his letters to that holy and most pious man Cyril, bishop of Alexandria, gave judgment concerning the present cause and affair (w\#risen) which letters have been shown to your holy assembly. And now again for the corroboration of the Catholic (kaqolikh=j) faith, he has sent through us letters to all your holinesses, which you will bid (kelou/sate) to be read with becoming reverence (prepo/ntwj) and to be entered on the ecclesiastical minutes.
