Flavianus, bishop of the church at Constantinople, against
Eutyches the presbyter, who at that time, on account of his ambition
for the episcopate was trying to introduce novelties into the church.

heresy. He likewise teaches in this epistle and confirms by divine
testimony that as the Lord Jesus Christ is to be considered the true

with human nature, that is, that he derived a body of flesh from the
flesh of the virgin and not as Eutyches asserted, that he showed a body
from heaven.2695
