Translation: After Manes[1] and Paul[2] and Apollinarios[3] and Theodore[4] there appeared Nestorios from
Germanicia in
Syria,[5] who seized the [patriarchal] throne of Constantinople. Like Paul and Theodore his predecessors he misused the expression of the two natures in Christ; for he was son of [Theodore] from
Cilicia, and descendant of [Paul] from
Samosata. Because of this he made irreconcilable war on the holy Virgin Theotokos.[6] Becoming the third representative of this Judaizing heresy, he taught that the Christ was a different one in himself and God the Word was another, according to the erroneous doctrine of his forebears. And after him [came] Eutyches.[7]
This Nestorios being an eloquent speaker by nature was thought to be educated, but in truth he was ill-trained and did not deign to learn the books of the ancient interpreters. Puffed up with his talent for speaking he did not pay accurate attention to the ancients, but considered himself better than all of them.[8]
