 | | In accordance with the imperial command, but without the assent of the Pope, the synod was opened on the May 5, 553, in the Secretarium of the Cathedral Church at Constantinople. |
 | | Among those present were the Patriarchs, Eutychius of Constantinople[?], who presided, Apollinaris of Alexandria[?], Domninus of Antioch[?], three bishops as representatives of the Patriarch Eustochius of Jerusalem[?], and 145 other metropolitans and bishops, of whom many came also in the place of absent colleagues. |
 | | At length the Pope publicly withdraws his "Judicatum." While the Council is sitting at Constantinople he publishes his "Constitutum," in which he condemns certain propositions of Theodore, but spares his person; the same respecting Theodoret; but with respect to Ibas, he declares that his letter was pronounced orthodox by the Council of Chalcedon. |
