 FILIOQUE: A Response To Eastern Orthodox Objections
In some Eastern Orthodox sources, the clause "manifested through the Son" is typically followed by "[to men, that is]" –something universally recognized by scholars to be a medieval, and very obvious, embellishment, intended to reconcile St. Gregory with the Photian view.

(Aristeides Papadakis, Crisis in Byzantium).
Century Eastern Orthodox work, the Synodikon of Orthodoxy, which exposes and condemns more that sixty anathemas representing the doctrinal decisions of Eastern councils, there is no mention of the Filioque, or even of Photius’ denial that the Spirit proceeds eternally ‘through’ the Son.
