Epitome of the Ecclesiastical History of Philostorgius, Compiled by Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople.

The first of them was the Bibliotheca written by the patriarch Photius ( 9th century ).

Photius had already been declared deposed by the Pope, an act which the Church of Constantinople accepted at this council.

* the Apology for Origen, the first five books of which, according to the definite statement of Photius, were written by Pamphilus in prison, with the assistance of Eusebius.

Diodorus of Tarsus ( d. 394 ) may have argued for a flat Earth based on scriptures ; however, Diodorus ' opinion on the matter is known to us only by a criticism of it by Photius.

However, Photius enjoined the support of the Emperor and responded by calling a Council and excommunicating the pope.

Eastern Orthodox Christians argue that thereby the council condemned not only the addition of the Filioque clause to the creed but also denounced the clause as heretical ( a view strongly espoused by Photius in his polemics against Rome ), while Roman Catholics separate the two and insist on the theological orthodoxy of the clause.

to Photius, declaring the Filioque to be an addition which is rejected by the church of Rome, and a blasphemy which must be abolished calmly and by, degrees.

A considerable number of other works are given as Justin's by Arethas, Photius, and other writers ; but their spuriousness is now generally admitted.

For example, Photius I of Constantinople, who became Patriarch in 858 and was deposed by Pope Nicholas I in 863, was an enemy of the Pope.

Photius, the Patriarch of Constantinople, shortly after the council in which he had pronounced sentence of deposition against Pope Nicholas I, was driven from the patriarchate by a new emperor, Basil the Macedonian, who favoured his rival Ignatius.

At this council Adrian was represented by legates who presided at the condemnation of Photius as a heretic, but did not succeed in coming to an understanding with Ignatius on the subject of jurisdiction over the Bulgarian church.

On three separate occasions he had been employed by the three popes who preceded him as legate to Constantinople, his mission in each case having reference to the controversy started by Photius, Patriarch of Constantinople.

This may have parallels with the Christianization of the Rus ', as reported by Patriarch Photius in 867.

The second mission ( 860 ), requested by the Byzantine Emperor Michael III and the Patriarch of Constantinople Photius ( a professor of Cyril's at the University and his guiding light in earlier years ), was a missionary expedition to the Khazar Khaganate in order to prevent the expansion of Judaism there.

The style is characterized by Photius as concise, clear and pure ; other historians have judged his accounts confused or muddled, and valuable only because he preserves information from lost histories.

* Patriarch Ignatius is imprisoned and ( December 25 ) deposed to be succeeded by Patriarch Photius I.

* A synod convened at Constantinople ( often considered by Eastern churches as the Fourth Council of Constantinople ) reinstates Patriarch Photius I of Constantinople.

A few extracts from the five orations on Chrysostom were preserved by Photius ( codex 273 ).

Of the two histories, we possess abridgments by Photius, and fragments are preserved in Athenaeus, Plutarch and especially Diodorus Siculus, whose second book is mainly from Ctesias.

His works survive only in fragments preserved in Photius and the tenth century lexicographer Suidas.

According to Photius ( Quaest.

Photius, writing in the 9th century, found various text appended to manuscripts of the seven canonical books, which lead Daniel Heinsius to suggest that the original eighth book is lost, and he identified the text purported to be from the eighth book as fragments of the Hypopotoses.

Photius compared Clement's treatise, which like his other works was highly syncretic, featuring ideas of Hellenistic, Jewish and Gnostic origin, unfavourably against the prevailing orthodoxy of the 9th century.

In his critique of the theology of Clement of Alexandria, Photius in his Myriobiblon held that Clement ’ s views reflected a quasi-docetic view of the nature of Christ, writing that Clement " He hallucinates that the Word was not incarnate but only seems to be.

* Fourth Council of Constantinople ( 879 – 880 ) restored Photius to the See of Constantinople.

It confirmed the reinstatement of Photius as Patriarch of Constantinople.

The patriarchal throne was filled with Photius, a renowned scholar and kinsman of Bardas.

Photius was deposed and barred from the patriarchal office, while Ignatius was reinstated.

After the death of Ignatius in 877, Photius mounted the See of Constantinople for a second time.

That council, held at Constantinople, comprising the representatives of all the five patriarchates, including that of Rome ( all in all 383 bishops ), reinstated Photius as Patriarch.

In any case, the Pope de facto accepted the reinstatement of Photius as Patriarch.

Herodotus's recitation at Olympia was a favourite theme among ancient writers and there is another interesting variation on the story to be found in the Suda, Photius and Tzetzes, in which a young Thucydides happened to be in the assembly with his father and burst into tears during the recital, whereupon Herodotus observed prophetically to the boy's father: " Thy son's soul yearns for knowledge.
