		Macedonius, (2) bishop of Mopsuestia, was present at the councils of Nicaea and Philippopolis, and inclined to the reactionary party who thought the Athanasians had gone too far.

		Macedonius, their founder, was intruded into the See of Constantinople by the Arians (342 A.D.), and enthroned by Constantius, who had for the second time expelled Paul, the Catholic bishop.

		At the same time he received into communion Peter the Iberian, his old comrade in the monastery in Palestine, who had retained the more rigid Monophysite views which had marked the early years of Severus himself, and continued out of communion with the more moderate Mono-physites of Alexandria who had received the Henoticon.
		But the accession of Justin I., who adhered to the Council of Chalcedon [ justinus I.], occasioned their overthrow ; for in the balanced state of parties, and the servility or timidity of the ecclesiastics and people, the predominance of one side or the other depended on the individual filling the imperial throne.
