I. Fragments

The translation of the fragments is made from the text given on pp. 365-88 of F. Loofs, Nestoriana: Die Fragmente des Nestorius (Halle, 1905).

A. LETTERS

XI c. Fragm. 258. From the letter to Alexander of Hierapolis. But the property which [exists] in the nature of the divinity and [that which exists in that] of the humanity is indeed distinct from everlasting. For this reason Paul, the teacher of the churches, not in placing 'God' first and then adding 'in flesh', but in saying either 'Son' or 'Christ' first, makes 'in flesh' follow at the end: 'Concerning the Son who was of the seed of David in flesh' and again: 'Of whom [was] Christ in flesh,' nowhere at all saying God first, making 'in flesh' follow, but Christ or Son.
