Notes

"Patr. of Alexandria and Greek Church Father."1 In hagiography: Cyril of Alexandria was commemorated by the Syrian Orthodox Church as one of the fathers who championed one-nature Christology. "Cyril, patriarch of Alexandria from 412 to 444, was one of the most powerful bishops of this time. An influential theologian, he clashed with Nestorius of Constantinople on the question of whether Mary could be addressed as Theotokos (bearer of God). Cyril ensured that Nestorius and his dyophysite Christology were condemned at the council of Ephesus in 431. In the sixth century, he was seen as a champion of orthodoxy by both miaphysites and Chalcedonians. The emperor Justinian, in his theological writings, sought to ensure that the decisions of the contentious council of Chalcedon were interpreted in line with Cyrillian Christology."9
