During his reign a final synod composed of a great many bishops was
held, and the leader of heresy in Antioch was detected, and his false
doctrine clearly shown before all, and he was excommunicated from the
Catholic Church under heaven. Malchion especially drew him out of
his hiding-place and refuted him. He was a man learned in other
respects, and principal of the sophist school of Grecian learning in
Antioch; yet on account of the superior nobility of his faith in
Christ he had been made a presbyter of that parish. This man, having
conducted a discussion with him, which was taken down by stenographers
and which we know is still extant, was alone able to detect the man who
dissembled and deceived the others.
