Labbe 498 has taken Balsamon\u2019s text and inserted it into his Collection, from which the following translation is made. There is another version extant in Leunclavius, Jus Gr\u00e6co-Roman. p. 247.\nOn September the twenty-ninth of the year 394, a magnificent church, dedicated to SS. Peter and Paul, built by the munificence of Rufinus the Pr\u00e6toreal prefect, and situated at a place called \u201cthe Oaks,\u201d a suburb of Chalcedon, was consecrated. Most scholars have adopted Tillemont\u2019s suggestion that this was the occasion which brought the patriarchs of Alexandria and Antioch to Constantinople, and that occasion was taken advantage of to hold a synod with regard to the dispute as to the see of Bostra. At this council, in accordance with the canon of the Second Ecumenical Council, adopted only a dozen years before, Constantinople took the first place and its bishop presided, but so strong was the hold of Alexandria that three centuries afterwards the Quinisext Synod speaks of this council as held \u201cunder Nectarius and Theophilus.\u201d In passing it may not be amiss to remark that St. Gregory of Nyssa and Theodore of Mopsuestia, and Flavian were present at this council! Well may Tillemont 499 exclaim, \u201cIt is remarkable to see Theophilus there with Flavian, although they were not in communion with each other.\u201d\nLabbe and Cossart, Concilia, Tom.
