Acts of the Fourth Council (Chalcedon)

I read the Acts of the fourth council, the council of Chalcedon, in several books. Fifteen sessions were held, at which Dioscorus and Eutyches were condemned and Nestorius excommunicated; Flavian was declared innocent after his death, together with Eusebius of Dorylaeum, Theodoret, and Ibas. Other matters were also taken up, and the spirit of piety was strengthened.

Greek

Ἀνέγνων τὰς Πράξεις τῆς τετάρτης συνόδου, τῆς ἐν Χαλκηδόνι, ἐν βιβλίοις πλείοσι. Πεντεκαίδεκα πράξεις ἐγένοντο, ἐν αἷς Διόσκορος καὶ Εὐτυχὴς κατεκρίθησαν, Νεστόριος δὲ ἀφωρίσθη· Φλαβιανὸς δὲ μετὰ θάνατον ἀθῷος ἀπεδείχθη σὺν Εὐσεβίῳ τῷ Δορυλαίου, Θεοδωρήτῳ καὶ Ἵβᾳ. Ἄλλα τε ἐζητήθη, καὶ ἡ εὐσέβεια ἐκραταιώθη.
