[Julian] of Halicarnassus desired to renew the evil teaching of Severus, claiming that the body of Christ our God was incorruptible, that is, [because of] the union in the womb of his divinity and his body, even earlier than the resurrection of Christ from the departed. It remains to infer from this that it was not by some activity [of their own] that the Jews tortured and killed the Christ. So as the opinion was lame and weak, it was rejected by the ancient divinely-inspired fathers. Then indeed Julian not thinking appropriately either because of old age or because of excessive concern for Christ, falling away from the true and accurate opinion, or because someone else changed his teaching -– for this is whispered, that a priest of some city introduced this most wicked opinion to Julian … so he was about to proclaim the correct teaching of Christ, and he sent Marinus of Carrhae the city in Syria to confirm the dogma throughout the East, if he had not departed from men after a short time.[1]
This Julian became the most eager defender of the heresy of Severus, [although] Severus said that Christ had one nature and accepted the distinction in Christ, but Julian like Severus said that [Christ had] one nature, but he rejected the distinction.[2]
