Page "Council of Chalcedon" Paragraph 45

In all likelihood an official record of the proceedings was made either during the council itself or shortly afterwards.

The assembled bishops informed the pope that a copy of all the " Acta " would be transmitted to him ; in March, 453, Pope Leo commissioned Julian of Cos, then at Constantinople, to make a collection of all the Acts and translate them into Latin.

Eventually nearly all of them were translated into both languages.
