of Ephesus (1)—that is (2) the council of two hundred bishops convened against Nestorius. They declared: “The Virgin Mary gave birth to God, our Lord Jesus Christ, who, as to His divinity, is with God by nature and, as to His humanity, is with humankind by nature.” They testified that Christ has two natures and a single hypostasis (and a single person) (3); they anathematized Nestorius and the Patriarch of Alexandria; they also anathematized the second council that was held in Ephesus, and then the third council—the two hundred bishops who first assembled in the city of Ephesus—and they anathematized Nestorius once more. (And from Nestorius) (4) to the Council of Chalcedon there were twenty-one years. When this council adjourned, it had pronounced anathema upon, from among their leading figures (5) and bishops, all those we have mentioned, declared them unbelievers, and disavowed them and their doctrines.
