εἰς τὴν κατ̓ αὐτοῦ δυσμένειαν ἐμφανῶς ἐξανέστη. πράττουσα δὲ πάντα κατ̓ ἐξουσίαν ἐκίνει τοὺς πανταχόθεν ἐπισκόπους εἰς τὴν Ἰωάννου καθαίρεσιν, ὧν ἦν πρῶτος καὶ κορυφαῖος ὁ τῆς Ἀλεξανδρείας τῆς ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ Θεόφιλος, ὁ πρῶτος ἀρξάμενος τῆς κατὰ τῶν ἱερῶν καὶ τῶν ἐξ αἰῶνος πατρίων ἐπιβουλῆς. προτεθείσης δὲ κρίσεως, ὁρῶν ὁ Ἰωάννης οὐκ ἐξ ἴσης αὑτῷ τὰ πράγματα προβαίνοντα ψήφου τῆς Κωνσταντινουπόλεως ἑκὼν ἀνεχώρει.
